Ep 001 Guest Terry Rollinson

BMW GS rider, here. Did BMW search and this popped up. Delete after five mins of most recent episode. Guest is some entitled teenager contemplating a summer long jig through Europe at some point, and an S1000R as his next bike. Mod’s cackle-laugh would have sufficed to end any add’l listens. FO.

Ack.

I really enjoy and learn a lot from these podcasts.  The interviews and topics covered are interesting and fun.  I love how it seems like good friends talking about motorcycles.  I listen during my commute.  It makes the time pass much more pleasantly!
I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who has an interest in any branded motorcycle anywhere.  Though the title says So Cal and BMW, the topics are useful to any rider anywhere.
Can't wait for the next one.  Thanks!

I just discovered this amazing podcast.
