Well that was the extent of my afternoon ride.  I was back and forth over these state lines just hitting the back roads of the area.  Riding to nowhere but getting all over the place.

I stopped for a few pictures and a bottle of water a couple of time (it was over 90F) but otherwise I just rode on.  I put on just over 200 miles during the afternoon (and popping 29K on the Army bike) before stopping to have dinner with the wife at her place of work!

I have to admit that based on the commercials, I did not have high hopes for the Biker Battleground Phoenix Motorcycle TV show from the History Channel.  I was afraid it was going to a reality soap opera more focused on drama and conflict then the bikes and the craftsmanship.

The first episode lived up to my low expectations with lots of drama and not much motorcycle.  The second show was much much better, focusing on a couple of bikes being built for the Daytona Rally and the AZZkickers working up products for the new Indian motorcycles.  Episode two’s drama revolved around VooDoo’s missing a big delivery date, pranks and Paul Yaffe’s challenge to the other shops to a build off, not to bad!

This show, with episode two is a good combination of OCC and Biker Build Off.  I like it

For me, the difference between the two shows was as the difference between night and day.  I can only hope that they continue along the lines of the second show here on out.

I am with holding the issue of stars right now as Biker Battleground Phoenix could easily slide back into the form it took for the premier show.  That would be a one star, while riding along the lines of the second show would be a 4 or 5 star award.

I wrote a post earlier (read it here) about how I hoped this was not a “Devils Ride” version of build show. After watching more of the commercials, I still hope this is not a builder version of that show.

Fingers crossed!

Motorcycle Radio…The #1 Motorcycle Show in the US

During the last episode of the DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio (the podcast, #265, is available here) I learned something interesting. Turns out Ken and Phil have been paying for the cost of the show from their pockets the entire time, over 5 years.

The most expensive part of the effort is the bandwidth that folks use to download the show. The web hosting provider charges by bandwidth consumed which limits the show to about 140,000 downloads per month. They (now we?) have been maxing out the available bandwidth on a reoccurring basis.

The price jump from the current level of bandwidth to the next level is insane and in order to improve the show and make it more available to everyone the DawgHouse is looking for some patrons. If enough folks become patrons the DawgHouse it might even add video…although I am not sure if that is a good thing, unless we get hot models to stand behind the hosts!

To help find those patrons the DawgHouse has begun using Patreon.com.. What is Patreon.com you ask,,,,

“Founded in May 2013 and based in San Francisco, California, Patreon was created to enable fans to support and engage with the artists and creators they love. Empowering a new generation of creators, Patreon is bringing patronage back to the 21st century.”

The DawgHouse is in that awkward position where it needs more listeners in order to get advertising but can’t get the additional listeners without extra funds!

So, the show is remaining free to all but if you want to help take The DawgHouse to the next level please consider becoming “a patron of the arts” (say that with your noise up raised and with a rich person accent)……… well the show is kinda like art, right, in a Jackson Pollock kind of way?

The History Channel now has a website for their new series.  The Biker Battleground Phoenix website does not yet have much but, there is a “Sneak Peak” video available.

According to the site the show is about….

“Phoenix, Arizona—where the country’s top motorcycle builders compete day and night. It’s a dog-eat-dog world, where buyers are willing to pay upwards of $150,000 for a fully-customized, one-of-a-kind ride. Biker Battleground Phoenix follows the temperamental and talented bad boys of the bike business. In their world, showcases are for pride and bragging rights, competition is cutthroat and money talks. When egos and passion collide, the aftershocks echo across town.

They don’t follow trends–they set them. No tactic is off limits and no move is too corrupt. From stealing ideas and poaching employees to public bashing on social media, these guys will do whatever it takes to give themselves and their shops the ultimate edge over the rest.”

After reading this I hope this is not a “The Devil’s Ride” show for builders!

Additionally, History is sponsoring a contest to support the new show. You can register here to win a custom bike built by Dirty Bird Concepts, one of the shops on the show.
