Episode 106 of the Rust is Gold Racing Podcast welcomes Brett Conley from TORC Helmets for a behind-the-scenes conversation about one of the most important pieces of gear a motorcycle rider can own.

Brett joins hosts Steven "Fenix" Maes and Thaison "Hollywood" Garcia to pull back the curtain on TORC Helmets—from the company's roots and evolution to the philosophy behind designing helmets that combine protection, style, and the individual personality of the rider. TORC's current lineup spans everything from classic open-face designs like the Del Mar to full-face models such as the Baja and Newport.

Good friend of the show, Triumph sponsored rider, and all-around motorcycle enthusiast Ernie "eDub" returns for his third appearance on the Rust Is Gold Podcast—making it an official three-peat!

This episode is packed with garage talk as the RIG crew catches up with Ernie and dives into everything happening in the world of motorcycles. The guys talk Triumph's latest dirt bike lineup to the current state of motocross, freestyle, and stunt riding, the conversation covers the highs, the challenges, and where the culture is headed next. Along the way, the guys swap stories from the road, share plenty of laughs, and reflect on what keeps the motorcycle community thriving.
