Misty is mourning fallen bollards. Ben confesses driving 100 MPH in his dad’s beat-up Plymouth but luckily the statute of limitations has run out, and we even give the K-Car a little love.

Film-maker Indy Saini joins us to tell us all about her film Women In The Front Seat, which is about a diverse group of women motorcyclists. They’re all different, their bikes are different, their styles of riding are different- but they share the common bond of going places on two wheels. More than just a series of profiles, the film explores deeper motives and reasons for women to ride. These riders have embraced the joy of riding and it enhances their lives in amazing ways.

We chat with film maker Indy Saini about her multiple award winning movie about female motorcyclists: Women In The Front Seat. We learn about funding, filming and finding people to be in a documentary, as well as what traits the subjects of this film have in common. Our guest explains why her motorcycle is right for her and Misty’s long history on motorized two wheel transport.

It’s raining men in Misty’s world! Sometimes a Moon Pie is just a Moon Pie. Do you need a pit-crew to answer Tim’s trivia question? Ben explains what the best riding position is and how it can help Mickey’s back issues if he ever learns to ride, while Tim discloses his history of riding poorly. The gang discusses some of the best riding roads in Europe and the southeast US, as well as what to avoid on your journey. Our trivia question concerns the pedigree of NASCAR pit crews and we wonder whether their hips do or don’t lie.

We’re flying without a guest or a plan in this previously un-released vintage episode. Dave is befuddled, Misty is stabby, and Tim is racy! Ben had to miss this one and it’s a damn shame because his father worked with the criminally insane and owned a pair of Alfa Romeos, both of which get mentioned in the trivia question. The shopping is fabulous in Tangent-Land! Why are we building more gas stations when EVs are on the rise? Mickey wants to see a doctor while charging an EV. We shame the French for their ham and cheese sammiches. Much rambling but it provides a look into our twisted psyches!
