Podcast: Loud pipes save lives and other moto myths

Oct 01, 2021

Hang around motorcycles for any length of time, and you’ll get all kinds of advice, whether you want it or not.

Newer riders might have a hard time distinguishing between genuinely helpful information and dangerous fallacies. Even riders with many miles under their belts can have some questionable ideas. Spurgeon and Zack take on a range of motorcycle myths in the latest episode of Highside/Lowside, which runs over an hour and a half.

Of course, they discuss one of the most common (and controversial) moto debates: Do loud pipes really save lives? The hosts also discuss lanesplitting, filtering, what defines an experienced motorcyclist, helmet safety, and more. Don’t miss their additional segments on reader comments and recent moto news.

How to listen to Highside/Lowside

As usual, the podcast version of Spurgeon and Zack's discussion is available via SpotifyApple PodcastsStitcher, and LibSyn for those with accounts.
