EP79—Tiffany, Nashville, and 7th gear

Hey Salties! On episode 79, we're chatting with Tiffany in Nashville about quitting the Litas and doing our own shit. She comes from a whole family of riders and gives us the lowdown on where are the coolest places to ride (excluding the Tail of the Dragon!) and enlightens us on weird laws and unsafe places for a pack of femmes to stop.

EP78—Lluvia, New Orleans, and surround sound

Hey Salties! On episode 78 we're chatting with Lluvia who's rippin' the mean potholes in New Orleans. Having grown up on the back of Harley Davidsons, it all made sense during the pandemic years that getting a motorcycle of her own would allow for more freedom and adventure. We're talking safety (always!), learning to do your own moto maintenance, and what riding is like in Louisiana.

There is always larping.
