Riders On The Norm

Happy Friday everyone! This episodes interview was recorded a couple of weeks ago with Zak who is putting on the ManHandle the Panhandle show in Pensacola FL April 15. We caught up with him fresh off the Milwaukee trip, and since he and Scott were both out there racing, we talk a little flat out Friday for a bit. Thanks and don't forget to visit the new website www.ridersonthenorm.com

Here we are Episode 50! It is so cool that you guys have been with us, letting us talk about absolutely nothing, sometimes interview, and most times yell at you guys. We have been really busy this year so far. We've driven all over the southeast in search of a Mobile Studio, we've flown up to Milwaukee and met a lot of you guys there, we've been to Tampa and hung out with the "crazy FL kids". It has just been really humbling to say the least. This week we took it on the road again. BigScott and I headed south to Florida to pick up the BAGO. We picked up Downtown Dan along the way to keep us company, take some videos, and drive the chase vehicle so we both could ride in the new Rig! Thanks again everyone who has bought shirts, got on patron, and listens to the show. You guys all kick ass.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! We finally have a website. Everything is almost done there. You can listen to the show, check out the BLOG, and even buy ROTN Gear from there. We are still adding some items to the store, but its almost complete. Now for the show, we sat down and talked with the crew from Slop Shop this week. These dudes are building a killer 49 Panhead for the People's Champ #5. They tell us about the backwoods purchase of the motor and what it takes to grit blast 100lbs of bondo off a frame. As always we appreciate the support of the listeners, our Patreon contributors, and everyone that shares this podcast. You guys kick ass.

We of course were all over the place this weekend for todays show! We pinned Denton on the Map for May 18 2017, thats a killer swap that goes on here in NC. Got to farmpark.com and you can find more info on that. Wes busted out his Thunderbird Inn Hawaiian Shirt, there is a dress code for this party, so get you some sick polyester and join us for that in Septemeber. Jeff G joins us this week. Some of you were asking for his return, so we delivered! We also have a new Race Logo coming next week. Talk to you guys Friday!

We sat down at the HQ of ROTN and spoke to our new Arch Rival JJ Flairty, 2017 Flat Out Friday Boonie Class Champion. We wanted a post race interview to see if we could pick up any pointers for next years race because we have created a damn race team after this weekends events! He gave us some ideas on how to set up our Sportsters that we are building for the Hooligan Class, JJ has been super fun and helpful with this new racing gig we are suddenly into, so its all in good fun! We Also had the chance to speak with Jeremy Prach, the organizer of Flat out Friday. He gave us the background of the races and why he chose to take on such a huge task. Jeremy is super cool dude and we really can't wait to throw back a few beers with him next year in Milwaukee. Thanks again for the support guys! 

What a weekend! Milwaukee turned out to be everything we could have asked for and more. If you guys were watching the feed on Instagram you got to catch all the mayhem that happened all weekend long, from our mini going down in the first race to a redemption from one of the listeners Tom with his 883. We couldn't have had this much fun without you guys supporting us and our race dreams! Saturday was the first day of Mama Tried and there were about 8000 in attendance, thanks to awesome weather! The amount of talent that was in that one building was insane. Check instagram and look at the builders and what they accomplished. We want to thank Scott and Warren for putting on such a killer show and allowing us to be a small part of it. It was good to meet some of the listeners, and see old friends. Excuse our lack of normal yelling, we were whipped by the end of it!

Ok so we got a little crazy this week, there is a lot of yelling, but what can we say? Its Mama Tried/Flat out Friday, and we are racing! We are pumped and I'm sure you can tell in this episode. We call JJ Flairty, last years winner of the Boonie Class, and talk a little shit, I think he's a pro or something like that... we are challenging that! Metric Mike calls in to give us the scoop on the mini he built for us and we set off some fire alarms with bad gas! Hope you guys enjoy!

Part 2 of the Takeover by Josh and Chevy. The stories continue, strips clubs, stealing mini bottles, and getting kicked out of said strip club. BigScott was absent this half. See you guys Friday in Milwaukee!

Our good friends from the south Josh Rising and Chevy deWolfe made a trip up to the studio to tell us about the Thunderbird Inn and the party they have planned there in Florence SC on Sept 9 of 2017. These guys have plenty of stories and we could have gone on for hours, so we made it two parts, this is part one.

So here we are talking RV's the whole show because we finally bought a 1969 Winnebago Brave 22ft. My brother drops in and joins us as we hit topics that range from Honda Choppers to Vintage Rv's. Phil and Scott go back and forth about the Super Bowl, I reminisce on years past at Daytona, and we plan the layout for the new RV. Thank you guys for the continued support. New Episodes every Monday and Friday 

Well as you guys will hear, we did the show 5 times tonight... literally. I'm working hard on my audio engineering skills, but sometimes they lack. We had a good friend of ours on Anthony Hicks. He does some killer paintings and turns them into prints so us regular folks can afford his killer artwork! Check him out on Instagram @anthonyhicksart and thank you guys for supporting the show! See you in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks!

Man we were all over the place this weekend! BigScott and I ran all around town getting supplies for the Studio. Jeff G joined also joined us in the studio. We talk glory days of Hockey and how Jeff is now an Old Timer. We also tried getting a reservation for our Mock Van Camp... Thank you guys for listening and supporting the show!

Happy Friday you chopper weirdos! We talked to Jp this week to catch up on his #BF9 build and get some updated info on the Run to Raton. We of course talked about our plans to party down next month in Milwaukee. We have our minibike getting setup for the races! Remember you can support the show by visiting our Bigcartel or Patreon

We convoyed the Vans out to Charlotte this weekend for the Easy Riders Bike Show. We discussed our thoughts on the show and different bikes in attendance. Scott was able to meet a few of the listeners and his shovel took first place. This weekend was more about the camaraderie than it was the actual show. The weather sucked so it was a good weekend for vannin!

We brought on Zak from the Twin Rivers Chopper Camp out to tell us about the event they are putting together. He and his buddies rode to Rocky Mount for the War Run, and thats where we met. We also spoke to some friends of the show via FaceTime! We've got hoodies in now so keep an eye out for those hitting the BigCartel. Music by Fu Manchu-Hell on Wheels and Blue Snaggletooth-Recollection Blues

Good Monday morning! Scott and I shoot the shit like and talk about what coming up for us and the podcast. We talk to Jake and Zach from Prism Supply and they fill us in on their #BF9 build. They also talk about a little Kart Race Circuit they've got going on locally in Charlotte amongst some friends!

The Mad dog calls in, the van breaks down, and we try and get you guys to buys our tshirts!  Visit our Patreon to easily support the show or google Riders on the Norm BigCartel

Holy crap today we had all kinds of stuff happening. We went live and let you guys check out the Home Studio, took you on a beer run in the van, and came back to finish the show! We were on a serious marathon with this one so we had to split it up in two parts! Downtown Dan joins us, we take some phone calls, and generally have a hell of a time drinking some beers with you guys!

So we are bringing you two shows a week now! We will drop them every Friday from here on out! Of course we are discussing our trip south to look at RV candidate #3 in Pawley's Island SC. Some shit goes down on the way of course, we lose a mirror, dodge a curb hopper, and whip a bitch in the Hwy, but the Dimension Shifter made it back with only a couple of hiccups. The Shadetree boys rolled down from Jacksonville and we killed pizza and beers! We bring you some Boston to rock to and get ready Milwaukee, we are coming!
