About this Episode

In this episode the guys talk about attending the Triumph Bonneville launch party, Rich's take on the Charlotte Easyriders show, and Harley releases two new models.  Plus we have Aaron Smith join us from Hawaii.

Rich mentioned that we have our first Pateron sponsor - Markus Arebom from Sweden.  Per his Facebook comment the first LoudPipes! t-shirt is headed to Sweden. 

We hope all our mid-atlantic and northeast listeners are doing alright with their snow events this season.  But not to rub it in, less than week after the storm hit North Carolina we had temperatures in the mid 60's.  This allowed for Rich and Rico to get out and take a nice mid-winter ride.

  • Light crowd and limited bikes on display, Very few cars and vendors
  • Plenty of big wheeled baggers, but Rich saw some he would actually ride
  • One particular bike of interest was a Harley Davidson FL with a half pan head and knucklehead motor (1945/1947)
  • Rich's prediction on next custom trend - Custom Dyna
  • Rico is working on Rich's video he took from show and will be on YouTube very soon.
