Ross Pino a self-taught painter often described as Keith Haring meets Basquiat. Raised in the Southwest with deep indigenous roots, Ross pours the desert's rattlesnakes, scorpions, and his signature skulls-meets-pure-fun energy straight into his work. He came up through skateboarding, taught himself to paint, and has owned around fifty motorcycles including a gorgeous 2020 Triumph Thruxton TFC. It's a wide-ranging talk about art, identity, and the memento mori philosophy that keeps him riding with his eyes wide open. Plus, some real-world rider wisdom on why reliability and being seen can save your life.

Tired of mystery EZPass charges and astronomical toll fines threatening to suspend your ride? In this episode, toll resolution expert Omar Alam of Metro Resolutions helps demystify New York's chaotic tolling system. We dive into the legal truths behind tinted plate covers, explain why the DMV isn't the agency you need to call, and break down the major differences between dealing with the MTA versus the Port Authority. Learn insider strategies on how drivers are slashing their penalties by up to 80% and securing 48-month payment plans.

Heads-up: this one's really for the folks who ride in New York, but if you're a fan of the show, I'm sure you'll enjoy it anyway.

I am not out of order; this traffic court is out of order! :-)
Kim Juszczyk of Traffic Court Pro, an NYC traffic attorney out of Greenpoint, breaks down how traffic court actually works in the five boroughs. No jury, no plea bargaining, no "the cop never shows" miracle. Just a DMV judge, a cop who came with a script, and a win-or-lose bench trial. Kim covers why speeding tickets are brutal to beat here (hello, LiDAR), why arguing roadside only makes it worse, and how her flat-fee, mostly-virtual practice keeps a real lawyer within reach for working riders. Bottom line for anyone on two wheels in this city: every rule that applies to a car applies to your bike, and Highway is waiting for you to forget it

Ultra-long-distance legend Wendy Crockett, Iron Butt Rally champion and million-mile rider, joins Len to break down what it takes to ride 1,000 miles in a day. From hydration and packing light (two months on the road out of a 10x10 pouch) to tire pressure, valve inspections, and why you should never air up to the sidewall number, Wendy delivers wisdom you won't find in any owner's manual. She and Len tackle riding in hurricanes, dodging deer, beating road rage, and the phones-on-the-handlebars debate. She also opens up about raising a daughter who's catching the moto bug and the unforgettable night fireflies, lightning, and fireworks collided during a world-record ride. This one'll keep you sharp, safe, and stoked to ride.

I'm bridging the 12-hour time gap between New York and Australia to sit down with my first-ever international guest, Paul Eddington—better known to his 26k+ YouTube subscribers as Paul in Perth.

Against all odds, Paul survived a maximum, typically "inoperable" cancer enduring an intensive 18-hour surgery and brutal rounds of chemotherapy that left him with severe peripheral neuropathy and postural hypertension. Now living what he calls a "bonus life," Paul joins me to share his profound, inspiring perspective on facing grim survival statistics, the power of healthcare advocacy through networks like PMP Pals, and why he's using his time to chase a passion and earn his commercial drone pilot's license. This is gratitude that will leave you thinking twice the next time you complain about a leaky brake line or a bad fuel injector. So grab your helmet, tune in for some classic 80s music nods and kangaroo-dodging logistics, and remember to always keep yourself in a safety bubble!

This episode features Kristen, a Queens native, mother of two, and the woman behind Wicked Wednesdays NYC, one of the most popular weekly motorcycle meetups in the tri-state area. Kristen shares her journey from walking off her first MSF course overwhelmed and intimidated, to passing on her second attempt, buying a Ninja 400 the very next week, and eventually upgrading to a 2022 BMW S1000RR, one of the fastest street legal motorcycles on the planet.
We dig into what it takes to build a thriving motorcycle community and we a also get into women and motorcycle gear, riding while raising a family, and much more!

Then we get straight into the mailbag with some great questions including garage sale helmets, riding with a group that is way too fast for you, and how to start your own bike night without getting sued.
Dust off the bike. This one is for you.
