Robin acquires a Suzuki GSX-8R and details a planned luggage kit. There are plenty of (incorrect) shoutouts to the supportive staff at Kelly's Kawasaki in Mesa, Arizona. Brian takes on a suspension upgrade for his KLR, noting improvements in ride performance even in icy conditions.

Joanne offers tips on finding budget-friendly gear without sacrificing quality. Priority one is to know your fit/sizing before hunting online (eBay, Facebook, etc). She also stresses the importance of supporting local dealerships as they can order discontinued items at a reasonable cost.

Jordan takes listeners on a historical ride through George Wyman's pioneering coast-to-coast journey in the early 1900s. He vividly recounts Wyman's mechanical trials with early motorbike technology as he ventures into uncharted territory (by pedal power where necessary). The gang closes with riding techniques, seat changes and future gear enhancement daydreams.
