Wednesday morning on the CanyonChasers Podcast: Br Wednesday morning on the CanyonChasers Podcast: Brian finally calls me out for my hypocrisy I tell everyone middleweights are the best bikes ever while I have a Pikes Peak V4 in the garage. We have an honest discussion about whether a $30,000 flagship is actually twice as fun as a $12,000 base model.

We also get into some sobering reality: the average rider age is climbing toward fifty and public access to world class tracks like COTA is ending as they shift to private memberships. If your motorcycle was flattened by a steamroller tomorrow, what would you actually replace it with? We explain that theory and share our 2027 MotoGP rider market predictions.

New episode drops Wednesday morning.

Think your mid-size bike is easy to flick into cor Think your mid-size bike is easy to flick into corners? Think again. There's a hidden "MID-SIZE BIKE TRAP" that makes these machines harder to turn than you'd expect, often leaving you fighting for grip and running wide.

In our latest video, we're exposing the physics behind this common problem – from unloaded forks and the infamous "pogo stick" effect, to mastering trail braking with the 5% Rule. Stop being a passenger and start managing the machine!

👉 Video goes live Saturday morning! Don't miss it!

Your Brain is Lying to You! Evolution didn't prepa Your Brain is Lying to You! Evolution didn't prepare us for 200Bhp or 60° lean angles. In fact, your brain is hardwired to keep you "safe" at exactly 20 MPH.

Anything faster than that isn’t just skill; it’s a conscious override of your own survival instincts.

In tomorrow morning’s episode, Brian @bc.49 and I dig into:

The 20 MPH Brain: Why your biology is actually your biggest obstacle on a motorcycle.

Sepang Tech Drama: Ducati’s "ground effect" breakthrough and why Yamaha is currently in a state of emergency.

The Science of Confidence: The one thing MotoGP pros do after a crash that most street riders skip.
