Radio TRO is brought to you in part by:Twisted Road - Motorcycle Rental in the USAVisit Twisted.TRO.bike to get a FREE riding day!Brian plays tire cop, newbie whisperer and Tiger 800 hype man while nudging everyone toward TRO's Road Rubber rankings. He shrugs at Indy's winter chaos, brags about scoring cheap Angel STs and dares tire makers to let "two gorillas" shred their products. His starter-bike gospel stays the same: finish MSF, try lots of bikes, get ABS and stop pretending you need a rocket when a 300-400 cc or mild 650 will do.Robin swoons over the Tiger's gadgets, trolls a friend about it for sport and confesses ongoing love for his current bike. He's cranking out a GSX-8R valve-check story, steering newbies toward sensible bikes from the Rebel 300 to the Z500 and lecturing them to find mentors instead of influencers. Next, he slips in a hack or two on how "nitrile gloves solve everything."Joanne hunts used boots like a thrift-store sniper, using them to roast fake insulation hype. She delivers a winter playbook of non-cotton bases, legit mids, real shells and the eternal reminder that leather is just cold skin pretending to be gear. She also ranks heated gear, some of them seven-volt toys, reminding the guys to Google materials with "motorcycle" in the mix like an adult.Jordan beams back to Daytona 1970 where handling ruled, Brits fixed their exhaust flop and everyone pretended sketchy brakes were fine. Harley bet on the XR750 and luck, privateers clogged the track and going five MPH faster meant nine extra miles of misery. Meanwhile Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki screamed around at 150-plus and proved engineering beats wishful thinking every time.Speaker Entry:Brian Wringer - 00:03:46Robin Dean - 00:03:59Joanne Donn - 00:27:37Jordan Liebman - 00:42:28Episode Page: https://tro.bike/podcast/2025e34/Music by Rabid Neon and Otis McDonald
