Right, as a little change of pace, let's do a little motorcycle jeopardy. But first, we probably need to do some introductions. So for folks that don't know, my name is Drew Faulkner. I'm from Dayton, Ohio. uh I run slash host a podcast called Moto Adventure Unscripted. ah If I said what my favorite motorcycle was, I would probably say the Husky 701 currently has the lust, but that may change next month. It's something strange about me that people may not know I have an obsessive compulsive problem with always wanting to make right turns and not make left turns But that's due to a tragic life story that maybe I'm making on podcast sometime My name is Mark Scherrens I help Drew out with his podcast every once in a while when he's kind enough to have me on I live in a little suburb called Cumming, Georgia about 45 minutes north of Atlanta ah pretty much always thought I'd grow up to draw comic books. And uh as you can C, well, whoever's watching this behind me, I've got a bunch of Ninja Turtles toys and uh GI Joes and Transformers and all kinds of that kind of crap sitting around my house. So my son and I share that joy and probably my favorite bike is the one I have because why would you not own your favorite bike? And that's the Norden 901 expedition right now. We'll C. All right. I'm Heather Wilson Schiltz.
I host Momentum:a motorsports podcast, and I also own High Gear Success, a motorsports marketing and communications company. Favorite bike would be my KTM 690 Enduro. And a fun fact, this is probably gonna age me on the young side, but if anybody's familiar with like the Disney cartoon Lilo and Stitch, Stitch is like the little alien creature. I can talk like Stitch and no, I won't do that right now, but it's a weird, weird talent. Oh, my turn. uh... i'm ted keller I'm the host of the motorcycle men podcast uh... Ride with Ted YouTube channel uh... three additional blogs author of uh... road most traveled and favorite bike is the one i got my heritage classic my Harley Davidson two thousand three anniversary edition uh... i was weird thing you know probably about people i was the lead singer and a john mellencamp tribute for twenty years So my name is Trevor Schoonover my buddy James and I do the tallboys and track masters podcast. We're nearing episode 100 finally. favorite bike is, uh, I don't know. I'm really partial. My KTM 350 and, I guess, I guess a weird fact about me is, I, I like titanium so much as an engineer, I decided to get some of my wrist. So I'm James Wright. I'm the co host and host of the Tallboys and Track Masters podcast along with Trevor. I'm from Fairmont, West Virginia. My favorite motorcycle is one that I actually own right now, which would be my gas gas 700. um Interesting fact about me is I'm freezing to death currently and I have a heater between my legs. Good, good memories of us doing doing podcasts on location near your garage when it was like 10 degrees outside. It is very winter for people listening obviously so I wanted to bring podcasters together to give everybody a chance to... up north in Northern That is correct. So James is in Fairmont. I live in Mason Town which is Preston County which isn't too far away but it's higher elevation so it snows more up here, gets colder etc. We're preparing for winter apocalypse in Atlanta this week. Believe it or not. Well, crazy fact is I'm actually, I live in central Ohio, but I'm going to be in Atlanta this weekend, but hopefully I make it there. We can call the chaos. So have fun. Bring the Ohio with you. Obviously wanted to spread around. It's a different listeners and audiences and whatnot to have right together. So Ted has hosted some wonderful motorcycle jeopardy. So Ted, if you want to take it away and explain us the rules and how this is going to take place and we can kick off Hollywood squares here. Okay. Now the way this motorcycle jeopardy works, it's not like the TV. It's kind of like it, but it's not like it. With each there's there's five topics. And then there's five rows from one to 100 or one to 500 100 to 500. Within each topic, there are four answers. So you got A, B, C, and D. So I will give you the hint, and then you have to pick one of the four answers. Each of you pick one of the four answers. And then when I reveal the answer, whoever gets it correct will get the points. So if two of you get the points, you all get it. Within this grid, I'm going to show you in a second, there are going to be five bonus questions. uh three of which give an additional hundred points. One of them is a daily double. And then one of them is the double or nothing. And you can choose if you want to double your score, or nothing. It's not double that amount, that amount. It's double your whole score. So if you get it wrong, you're back to zero. Okay. ah The way it starts off is since how Drew is the host here, he will go first. And then from that point on, Whoever gets the question right, we'll start the next round. ah If nobody gets that series of questions right, the last person who had it will go again. ah Unlike Jeopardy, where you can pick whatever dollar amount you want, here, we start at the top and work our way down from 100 to 500, building up the anticipation and anxiety level as much as we can. Anybody have any questions? I'm ready. No, I you're scared to death right? Yeah, terrified. Yeah. So the topics are you want to know what the topics are? Right? Okay, the topics are stay here. And this is about places you would stay. Before I go on any further. Everything involved in this is revolves around motorcycles, either it's a destination, someplace to go something to C about motorcycles about roads or whatever. So it's motorcycle related. Okay. Stay here which regards it which is destination spaces. You can stay side of the road. This is Roadside America anything you would C oddities on the side of the road US highways Colors colors of motorcycles and MSRP All right, you guys are already angry already that you got involved with this I Well, the MSRP one is going to be really fun for me being a dealer's daughter, because I don't know reality sometimes. I was telling James, like, all I had to do up until like literally last year is be like, Hey, dad, can you order and then stuff would magically appear. So that one's going to be a challenge. Okay. So that problem. So also, With regard to the answers, feel free to analyze, you know, just like get into detail what you think, play with it. You know, if you you know, if you want to like, just have a little argument with yourself trying to pick the right answer, please do so because it makes it fun for everybody. Any questions? If not, we can start. Let's go. All right, Drew, pick it. MSRP. Okay. for 100 MSRP. The starting base price of the Honda CBR 1000 RR dash our Fireblade is what 18 921 928 9 or 23459. Drew, what is it? By the way, no phones, no cheating. Is there any honor system here? Tell me option B and C one more time. That's 21 nine and 28 nine. I'm going to go with B 21 nine. B uh Do we get to C these options on screen or have to remember all of my choice? you know what? I didn't know. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm gonna share the screen. I can do that. I apologize for not being able to. I was sitting here making notes. you, Heather. I apologize for that. It's my fault. This is this is what we call technical difficulties. All right. There we go. All right. Excellent. This makes for a better video, right? It does. It absolutely does. Yeah, it's a huge difference. Yes. Well, Drew, we are waiting on you. I'm sticking with B. B. Yep. Because we're going in alphabetical order, Heather. I'm choosing D. OK. James? I'm going to say D as well. Oh, copycat. Mark?$1, sir. I'll be the odd man. I'll go with a just because I have zero clue what is happening or what that bike even really is to be honest with you. So here we go. I'm going to go with B. B. To not be being a copycat. Correct answer is. Correct answer is you know what if I was on the right screen when I did that'd be great. Correct answer is. C nobody got it. Oh Goose egg Drew go ahead I Give me MSRP for 200. What is the base price of the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650? 46 79 63 49 5599 or 34 29 Drew. I'm gonna go with B 63 ish hundred dollars I say C James, I'm gonna say B as well. Copycat. Mark. I'm low balling again. I'm going with a because it's a Royal Enfield. So it's got to be cheap, One can only C. Okay. And the correct answer is B. That one goes to Drew and James. They both get the points. So Drew and James get their points. So, seeing how Drew's been going, we're gonna let James go first. Go pick it now. Ooh, give me, let's do colors. Colorful 100. The color candy Arnett red comes from what motorcycle company? Harley, Indian, Triumph, or Honda? What is it, James? I'm say Indian. All right, Drew. I'm going to copy. I think it's Indian as well. OK. Heather. I think it's Indian. It doesn't sound very Honda. Mark. I've never heard of ardent before. I have no idea what that is. I'm going to imagine in my brain that's a British word. And I'm going to go with C triumph. All right. That's good logic. Yeah, it's pretty solid. C triumph for the same logic. Okay, and the correct answer is that is not red bro. That's purple. I don't I don't make it candy Arden red James pick it again. Let's continue on for colors again. Colors 200 This is for an additional hundred points. The color pearl solar yellow is featured in this company's most popular bike, Honda Suzuki Kawasaki Yamaha. James, I want to kind of stick with a little bit of logic and say Suzuki since yellow is their favorite color. Okay, Drew. I'm gonna throw off even though I think James is correct. And I'm going to say C Kawasaki. Okay, Heather. I'm really torn because initially I was thinking Kawasaki but Suzuki makes more sense. But then Yamaha had like throwback yellow. So I'm actually gonna be Right. uh Mark. I had the same thoughts as Heather with Yamaha, but I need some points here, so I have to go with the obvious Suzuki. So be for me. I don't know how anything is obvious in this game, but Trevor. B for me as well. B for you. And the correct answer for an additional 100 points is Kawasaki. Pearls. Yellow. KLR marks pre-show KLR joke. takes that another 200 points plus an additional Here we go. Look at that. Okay, Drew. MSRP for 300. This is the Drew show. So colors for 300. This company got spacey with interstellar blue. Yamaha Harley Davidson Royal Enfield or triumph. Drew. I'm gonna say C Royal Enfield. Heather. I'm gonna say I never actually look at the color names of bikes. Like clearly I've never shopped and looked at the actual names of colors of bikes. This may change that. I've got really no idea on this. I'm gonna go with triumph D. D for triumph. All right, James. I'm feeling like cranking my hog. So I'm gonna go with me Harley-Davidson. Okay. Mark, what do you think? got to process James's answer for a few seconds, but I'm going to go. I'm going to go with a C Royal Enfield as well. All right, Trevor. I'll crank my hog on camera as well. B Harley Davidson. All right. And the correct answer is triumph. What? I got it right. Nice. picked that? That was you. was Heather. You got the points Heather. You should be happy about that. Look at that. 300 points already. beating James out. Look at Mark and Trevor don't feel like playing today. Heather, pick it. love losing. Let's do a stay here for 100. Stay here for 100. Okay. Where might you be staying in this tiny sheep wagon? Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota or Texas? What do think? I'm going to say B Wyoming. Okay. Drew D Texas. All right. James. I'm going to say Montana. Mark. Yeah, seen is how Alabama was not on this list of options. I am also going with a Montana. That's the next best guess. Trevor. uh C North Dakota. All right. And the correct answer is Wyoming. Wow. There's the link there. How much does that Airbnb rent for? Wow, we can even C it. Oh my. Yeah. uh Where is it? Right? It's in the bustling metropolis of Casper, Wyoming. No, it's a night for five nights. Sleeps up to seven people. I'm going to pass on that one for sure. It's available. Probably. We can set you up a date right now. James, that is very Preston County. Yes, it is. That's probably your neighbor across the street. And it could well be. I was going to accuse. I never trust anything that's hosted by a guy named Steve. oh So Heather got that. All right. coming for you, Drew. You keep going. Heather, it's still you. Oh, let's do stay here for 200. Okay. Where might you find this general store Airbnb to stay in Georgia, Vermont, Mississippi or Texas? I'm between Georgia and Vermont, but I'm leaning towards weirdly Vermont B. Okay. Drew. I think that's Georgia A. Okay. James. I'm going to say Georgia as well because that looks like a bunch of red clay to me. uh So you're gonna say Georgia. All right. Mark. I might learn something new about my state here, but I have never seen that before. And I am going to go with Mississippi. Okay. Trevor. I guess I'll say Georgia as well. Hey, look at this. you guys are certain that this is Georgia. And the correct answer is Texas. Nobody got that. And if you guys are interested, I'll show it to you and how much it is. Yes, you know, there are trees in Texas. What the hell? Yeah, for $530, $553 from three nights for five nights. know like along the Northeast BDR in Vermont, there's a lot of general stores like that as well. So I kind of thought that in a way. It's like Heather was between Vermont and Georgia. They're not even close to the same thing. I know, they seem like, I don't know, just like touristy things that you would find in those states. Yeah, you can, like, you can come up with all kinds of reasons why you think it might be somewhere. It's it's such a statement. You really don't know. Well, Heather, since nobody won that, you can go ahead and... Okay, let's do Side of the Road for 100. Side of the Road for 100? Here we go. Where might you find this house covered in license plates? Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, or New Hampshire? What you think? I don't know. Illinois is really weird. So I'm going to say B Drew. I think that's a solid guess on her part, but man, that just looks like Indiana to me. It's yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Indiana. Yeah. Yeah. James. No clue. But I do like me some Creole, so I'm gonna go with Louisiana C Mark Yeah, you guys guessed Indiana and Illinois have also never seen trees in those states So I'm gonna be the wild man and go with New Hampshire because I have seen trees in that state Okay, Trevor uh C Louisiana. there you go. And the correct answer is New Hampshire 100 points dude, it's catching up my you laugh at my logic, but it worked out there. Mark you get to pick this round. All right, let's go with us highways for 100 please Ted right. Plus 100 points for this one route us one extends from Fort Kent, Maine to Key West, Florida for a total of 3170 2370 2730 or 2481 miles. What's it gonna be? I am going to have to go with C 2730 miles. All right. Drew. I think Mark is correct. So I'm gonna say D 2481. Oh, you Mark is correct? So you're gonna pick D? Yes. Okay, Heather. I choose a James. I'm going to go with D too because if it's exactly 2730 on the dot, that's a little odd. So I'm going to go D2481. All right. Trevor. I'm going to say hold on a second. on. Mark, said, wait, also James, you said D. Okay, gotcha. D, yes. Okay. And Trevor? I'm going to say B because James said there's no way it's that one. You're going to say B. I can't get fewer than zero points. This is true. I mean, somebody's got to get this one because you each picked a different letter. I for an additional hundred points on this one. Correct answer is B for 2370 miles. Trevor is on the board. Welcome, Trevor. Feels good to be here. He made it. All right, Trevor. You get the pick. Colors for 400. boy, going to big dollars now. Teal Thunder is the creation of this motorcycle company, Royal Enfield Indian. Harley Davidson and Erjika. What's it Trevor? I be Indian. Drew? I'm gonna have to throw off and say C Harley Davidson. Heather? Yeah, I was thinking Thunder is definitely Harley Davidson. good logic. James, I want to pick Harley. But I'm gonna go with more landfill day. Mark? Yeah, that absolutely has to be a Harley Davidson color. So I'm gonna guess be Indian. What's the name of their Indian engine again? I have no idea. Thunderstroke 111? Oh, that's right. that's right. Okay, so we have one A, two Bs, and two Cs, and the correct answer is Harley-Davidson. Oh. So Drew and Heather will share in those points. Alright, alright. That was too obvious. That was a trick. Teal isn't a very harley color but. Ted has a history of being accused of these things so the game is still young my friend. Alright well we'll let Heather pick again. Definitely not MSRP so let's do Side of the Road for 200. And Fayetteville, Arkansas, there is this roadside attraction. It's a giant moonshine, a giant statue of Johnny Cash, a giant piece of rice, a giant dancing hog. So what's it going to be? Moonshine seems right for Arkansas. You're going to go with A. How about you, Drew? uh Razorbacks. Isn't that the mascot of Arkansas? I don't know anything about traditional sports. D giant dancing hog. Okay, James. D as well Fayetteville is the home of the University of Arkansas and that is their logo the Razorback so. Do you guys know more than me about that? Mark? Yeah, I just have to go with D a giant dancing hog because that one makes me laugh the most. I'm going that route. Trevor? D giant cranking hog. So we got one A and four Ds. Correct answer is John dancing hog. Bam. Damn. Anything about football. I mean, was not gonna get that. There might be a logo on the back of my bike that says Bush hog. mean, it's a thing. Look at that. Heather, didn't score there. That's a bummer. So you know who hasn't gone yet? James, Mark, which one you guys have? I went. James, ahead. We're going to you the next category. Yeah. Let's do US highways there for 200. All right. At this time, the US interstate highway system encompasses approximately 3740 miles, 49,000 miles, 41,000 miles or 48,000 miles. What do you think, James? No clue, but I did have a C average in school. let's go C. Drew D equals diploma. So I'm going to do D 40, 49,000 ish. Yeah. Okay. Heather. I think C. No, come again. Mark. I'm going to go with B because I always wanted a B average in sports though. I'll go B. Trevor. I'll say B too. It just feels right. Two B's, two C's and a D. And the correct answer is D. We got Drew running. I did not give Drew the answers by the way. so you know. it's randomness. We can double or nothing. Oh my God. All right. Drew, pick it again. MSRP for $300. There we go. The Aprilia RS660 factory has a base price of what?$15.9, $14.9, $13.9, or $12.495. I'm going to go with C, 13999. Heather. I've got zero clue on this once again. But I'm going to go with A. OK. James? Brilliant is proud of their stuff, so I'm going to say A as well. OK. Mark? I have no reason to guess anything other than B because I don't even know what that motorcycle is. could be cruiser for all I know. yeah. Trevor. uh For the same logic as James, say a three A's are B and a C. And the correct answer is C. Dang. Drew got it I shop a lot. I don't know why anybody doesn't just guess the same answer as through to be honest. It's all he does all day on Instagram is post motorcycle MSRP. We're all idiots. It's same engine that's in the Touareg 660. So that's why I'm like it's a parallel, it's a sport version of a Touareg 660. So if there is a next time I should say, what Drew, what don't you know about motorcycles? uh Clearly stay here. What's the next category, Drew? Let's do stay here. All right, where might you find this cozy yurt to stay in? Maine, West Virginia, Arizona, Vermont, I'm say Maine. Total total I want to say West Virginia, but I'm gonna say Maine. Heather. I think West Virginia. I know it's fancy for West Virginia, James, but well, the reason I'm shaking my head is our good friend, Mr. Mark Wolf with Wolf Haven Tree Farm has a year. And I can tell you for sure that that is not his house. He's of the only people in West Virginia. know that has a year. Oh, so for that logic, I'm going to say it's definitely not Arizona. So let's go with D Vermont. All right, Mark. Yeah, it's definitely not going to be Arizona because again, that's not a desert. Yeah, I think D Vermont is yeah, there's no cacti, right? I don't C a Roadrunner Wiley Coyote D Vermont. Trevor. Okay with Maine. Maine. The main man. And the correct answer is Vermont. Yeah, what's up? James and Mark get I was waiting for that to turn up Arizona I was like there's no yeah you know I was the one the one green spot in Arizona yeah so you can C what we were up against here this one is There is shameless plug though if you guys are looking for a heck of a year to stay in in West Virginia, Mark Wolf says yes, if you're in there your kind of mood right? Those are kind of a thing in Red River Gorge. I've seen some kind of like that advertised in that area. So I was like if it says Kentucky then it's not really fair. Mark, go ahead and pick it man. ah Yeah, let's go. I'm on a roll. Let's go with stay here for 400 and keep it going. All right. This is the daily double. You get it right. Your points are doubled. Not your overall points. These points. Gotcha. All right. So uh for two night to two night for five nights in this Idaho Airbnb, what are you staying in? A flower pot, a converted school bus, a converted missile silo, a grotto. Dude, I want to stay in a converted missile silo so bad because this is literally the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. So let's hope and pray that C is the right answer. Drew. I think we're staying in a flower pot. I want to stay in a converted school bus, but I wonder if the flower pots. Schoolies are cool. Yeah. All right. Heather. Man, I'm all over the place because at first I thought flower pot then I thought silo but then the missile thing really threw me. And now I'm thinking like school bus seems logical for Idaho. So I'm gonna go with B. know, me. James, let's go with missile silo you dropped a bomb on me. Are you gonna break into song now? You dropped the bomb. Trevor, we just got a YouTube strike. That's not like I have anything to lose with 400 points on the board. I to say a flower pot for comedic value alone Did anybody ask what a rato is because I actually do it's just like some kind of wet cave thing or something like that Basically, that's like a gentrified cave. Yeah It's a cave with water and the correct smaller you guys to be staying in a flower pot by the way, what are you smurfs? I'm gonna be once I say in a flower pot The correct answer is... Oh, So Drew and Trevor raised those points. Trevor's making a comeback. Drew is practically untouchable at this point. Trevor, go ahead and pick it. Side of the road for 300. Okay. Double or nothing. In Boys Town, Nebraska, there is the world's largest ball of what? Stamps, bumper stickers, rubber bands, or band-aids. Now, you can select the double or nothing or not. So you can choose if you want to do that or not. So, seeing as how Trevor got that one, and of course, Drew, but Trevor, do you want the double or nothing, yes or no? No, I don't want to go back down to zero. don't, I don't feel really strong on this one. Nebraska's Nebraska is a weird place and all of those are, you know, pretty fitting options. I'll just say stamps. Drew. This is a rectal extraction. I promise I'm gonna say double or nothing just to make it interesting. And I'm gonna say the world's largest ball of band aids because that's just gross. All right, double or nothing. You said yes. Heather, you want the double or nothing? We all get to decide double or nothing. Who this is risky, but I'm gonna say double or not. I'm gonna I'm gonna do double. You're gonna do double or nothing. Okay. Well, what's your what's your pick? The band-aid one is really gross. That's just really nasty. I'm going to say rubber bands. OK, let's C. James. I'm going to risk it for the biscuit and double or nothing and also say rubber bands. And I feel pretty good about this because I believe I've seen this before. And Mark. So I lived three minutes from Boys Town, Nebraska for three years when I was a kid, and I don't know what the hell this question is about. None of this. None of this makes any sense at all. But uh I feel like I'm going with Band-Aids as well because, I mean, let's just C if they're new or used. You know what I'm saying? Are you doing the double or nothing or no? no, no way. I'm probably going to regret this. And the correct answer is... stamps. I didn't go to the only one who got that right. And he did not select the double or nothing. everybody else. Well, you know, Mark, you didn't do the double or nothing. So you stayed 600. But James, and Heather, and C the playing field just got leveled really quick people like that a lot of kids licking stamps It's child labor Well, Trevor, now that you're in the lead, you get the way to go, Trevor. Well, it's like Lee Harvey Oswald said, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. Wow. Wow. That's so much worse than you're going to make boys down. Even saying shot fired feels kind of weird after that. Side of the road for 400. OK. In Lawton, Oklahoma, there was a military roadside exhibit. It's a beef to do armor. a World War II German submarine, the atomic cannon, a Minuteman missile. What do you think, Trevor? For everyone listening, I'm either going to drag you down the road of being wrong, or I'm going to make this make sense. Fort Sill, Oklahoma is the home of field artillery, if I remember correctly. So I'm going to say that that's the home of C, the atomic cannon. Could be bull. may be dead on. way too confident with that answer. I'm thinking that's where we're going. I think we all agree that was way too confident. But Heather, we want you show your confidence. Drew's military and historical knowledge, so I'm going to go with C. OK. James. C. You're going to C also? I might be dragging everybody off the cliff here. You never know. Mark. I'm at zero. You can't take me any lower. Um, I'm gonna go with the name I danced under in college, which was D the minute man missile. So where he doesn't get that in. I'll say C the atomic cannon. All right. And the correct answer is the atomic cannon for C. So Drew gets it. king of battle kids and Heather. And James got it. And Trevor got it. That thing's badass, by the way. I'm Google-ing that thing after this episode. It's actually pretty cool history for an experimental weapon if you look into it. When I was overseas the first time I was with a guy that was a former artillery guy and he talked about training because he was in during the 80s where that was a legit thing. That's like, we can only fire it twice or whatever it is before melting the barrel. think once upon a time they, looked into, uh, like atomic shoulder fired weaponry. was a pretty cool rabbit hole too. You know, survivability was quite low for the crew firing. But anyway, thing was somebody. they don't have we don't have free healthcare yeah yeah let's uh let trevor get an answer this one pick it msrp for 400 please be a street and trail plus 1600 b as the base price of 26 000 31 000 19 000 or 23 000 what do you think this is for an additional hundred points by the way trevor i don't even know what a case 1600 b is Not a street and trail. It is the um sub trim. So they have a Excelsior like sport touring model. That's a straight six, but the B is their bagger version of that. So imagine an electric glide, but actually a street glide with no tour pack. I love how Drew just like whips out this knowledge. That's pretty impressive. It's almost like he has his phone in front of him. He's read the manual. I have a sickness. Since it's BMW I'll go with a 26 1 9 9 9 through Man it's tough because if it was the regular base model, I would a hundred percent say 30 grand plus right But for some reason I think it's one notch back from that. So I'm gonna follow Trevor with a for 26 1 9 9 Heather a You wait no time you put no thought into it whatsoever. Let's just follow what Drew says. I mean, I know BMWs are pretty expensive, but yeah. All right, James. I gotta go with A as well. my God. Mark. There's no way I'm guessing anything but the highest price B31995. This is for an additional 100 points. Who do we just lose? the way for him to come back in. Trevor was winning. He just forfeited. get his points dibs. That's the way it works. That's the way it works now Ted. I don't know. think co-hosts have a say in that. And the correct answer is D. Wow. Nobody got it. Here's something I should have said on the front end that I didn't think of until I picked it. BMW does not typically import base models into the US. So if we started poking around their website, we would find out that you can't take that home without ordering a special through the dealer for less than, you know, 28 grand or something. Drew is the original motorcycle nerd. I think it looks like a BMW series with two wheels. Yeah, that, that bike's ugly. I was going to say they found a way to make an uglier bagger. You've clearly not seen the what is that moto guzzi b26 or whatever it is or right I haven't seen PC 800 If it doesn't come factor with knobbies, I don't even know that it exists. I Mean, what's even the point right Trevor Trevor's seen the panigale then because it said those TKC 80s on it James why don't you pick it. Let's go with us highways on Interstate 70 there's only there's one location the longest in the country where there are no exits or services available. How long is that section? 66 miles 110 miles 216 or 155. So there's a section of I 70 where there's no services or exits for how far 66 110. That's a long way to go. No matter which one they are. It's a long way to go without an exit or any services. So there's no rest areas, no gas station, no nothing. So James, what do you think? Let's go with D, 155 miles. Drew? I think James is on to something there, but I've talked a lot about Alaska with some of the guys. I don't know the answer this, but I actually think it's B, 110 miles. Heather? What you think for me was B, so that's what I'm sticking with. Mark. Yeah, I also was thinking 110 miles. So I'm going to stick with that one as well. right. Trevor, the guy in the lead. So does it does go through Alaska? Well, no, 70. This section is probably in like, Eastern Colorado, Kansas. don't know systems. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. To maintain the lack of originality, I'm going to say B 110 miles. We all get it. Okay. We got four B's and a B. We're busy today. And the correct answer is. 110 between Selena and Green River, Utah, Utah. I missed it. You guys get that. James does not get that. that back. James. I mean, that's the thing. This one most people, know, 100 miles is their maximum range. And I was like, I've never heard anybody mention that on 70 before. So I can't be that far. Heather, pick it. Um, let's do side of the road for 500. This giant dragon tonight can be found where New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, North Dakota. What do think? I've got no idea on this. I would say Ohio if that was an option, because there's a Renaissance festival here, but I don't even know. Doesn't every state have a Renaissance festival? I think they do. We can let her think Ohio is special though, I assure you it's not a D North Dakota Drew I'm just gonna pick Nevada just for no reason at all James New Mexico Hey uh Mark Dude that looks like some Texas nonsense if I've ever seen it, so I'm going C Texas cover the bases kids. Yeah, that's it Trevor come on Trevor uh What state's crazy enough to do this? mean, every every one of them on that list. Realistically, I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised. um C, Texas. All right. There we go. Correct. The answer is. North Dakota. Heather, you got that. Lucky guess. would been cooler if it was on a state line and one state had the dragon and one state had the I C that. That would be difficult, right? All right, Heather, you can get the pick it here. Let's do stay here for $500. All right. How much will you pay to stay in this classy RV Airbnb in California for five nights?$495, $995, $450, or $320? This is the per night pricing or the total? oh for five nights total. I mean, it's most definitely got to be B then because I could even C B being the per night price in California. So that's why I was asking for clarification. But regardless, it's to be the most expensive option. So Drew, I've been looking at like container houses in Kentucky and it's $300 a night. I'm a hundred percent saying B for $995. There's probably a permit just so you can even stay in here. James, I'm going to say B as well. And what they probably don't tell you is you have to kick some of the homeless folks out there. There's always a catch. They come with you. goes to the cleaning people. Yeah. I also have to go with B and it doesn't even like California. is a huge state. doesn't even matter if you're in the nice part or the meth part. That's going to be $995. Nice part of the meth Trevor? You could have put up an image of a shoe box and I still would have picked the... Are we all wrong is the question. Poor California. That's amazing. Okay. We're all wrong. going down together. So... the answer is... Everybody got it. All right.$500 question, dude. There's $100 question. No East Coast bias here at all. Wow. Yeah. So I mean, guys, I don't know you want to C it or not. It's it's it's actually really cool. Yep. Okay. You didn't show us the grotto there. was gonna say is that a grotto? Yeah. It's nice in my house. Those people come with their homeless people right there. The interior is actually not that great, but the exterior. That's cool. Yeah. I don't even C needles or Outdoor bathroom. There you go. Oh yeah. There we go. Heck yeah. Yeah. It's like the stall at work. There's no bottom to the door so everybody can look at like that's a steal. Yeah, for $995 for four, for five nights. Not bad, They clearly like horses. I was going to say they really like horses. Oh, and Topanga too. So everybody got that one. Everybody got their points. Well, it seems that y'all got it. let Heather pick. We're going to let Drew pick this time. MSRP for $500. killin that category. The Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 special has a starting price of 19,921,923,495 or 17,9. Drew for 2026. It is a 19,999. I've never shopped for Harley. So I'm definitely gonna trust Drew on this. Hey, oh, the copycat syndrome is happening again. Eating crow here. So I'm pretty sure that I saw this yesterday in someone's post. So I'm going say a as well. Are we going to have a repeat performance of the last question? Mark? Yeah, I'm a hundred percent not going against Drew on this one. It's for sure. Nineteen nine ninety nine. Yeah. Yeah. Trevor. He can tell us all the features too. Yeah. Yeah. Based on an overwhelming body of evidence, I'm going to say a Oh, please. Here we go. Correct answer is a shock. I've apparently got some kind of reputation. I should have to go last on the MSRP questions. Oh man. Oh man. Look at this. It's out of control here. All right. That category is dead. All right. Well, everybody got that one. Let's go with Mark this time. Pick the, so you start. All right, let's go with colors for 500. Killing that category, which Italian motorcycle company is home to the color Duscento Tributo? Aprelia, Omoda, Benelli, or Moto Guzzi? Now that's a $500 question, Ted, right there. uh How about Benelli? Aren't they Chinese now? That's not even. Let's go with just because I want to say it this way, Moto Guzzi. Drew. I agree with Mark on this one. Moto Guzzi is all about the throwback. So tributing is so definitely true. I was really leaning towards A initially, but I could also be swayed to D. But I think I'm gonna stick with my gut. So I'm going with A. Okay. James. I want to say D and there was definitely a man in a dark room smoking a cigarette when he up. Was it a cigar? Yeah. So what's the good news? You're with D? D, yes. All right. And Trevor? It's a pretty eccentric name. So the most eccentric company that I know of is Moto Guzzi. All right. So you're picking D also. All right. And the correct answer is... Moto Guzzi! Yep, and Stelvio. There it is. Man, I'm saying, that is an MSRP I would not have gotten. Drew and James and Mark and Trevor. Does it come with unlimited breadsticks? uh When you buy it your family you imagine just sitting down at an Italian restaurant and rattling that name off like yes, I'd like the because Heather was the only one who did not get that question right we're gonna let Heather pick this one Well, yeah, obviously going for 100. Yeah, yeah of all the US interstates Which one has the most service areas by 80 I 90 I 70 or I 95? Well, wait a minute what happened here? Yeah, I'm gonna say D. I'm gonna give all of you the answer. that was an error. Holy crap. I sincerely apologize. Everybody's got to get those points. listening audience Ted literally gave us all the answers are shown right there. My favorite high school teacher to That's a close. I was so looking forward to seeing what was going to come up with that one. Keep notes. would have got that. That's a good thing. And for the final category. This is the only question that I will say I answer I go with but here we go. What percentage of the original route 66 is still drivable? A 85 % 40 % 25 % or 75 % now. Whichever answer you pick. This is the only question I'll say. I will ask you this after we pick. Well, we'll C. Go ahead, pick. So we're going to go with, well, let's go with Heather again. It seems like you picked it last time. I'm going to go with A, 85%. All right. Drew? I'm going to go D, 75%. James? I'm going say D as well, 75%. Mark? I actually don't think you can drive most of it. I'm going with B, 40%. and Trevor. I'll say A too. right. Now, does anybody want to change their answer? This is the only time in this game I will answer this question. Does anybody want to change their answer? I've never been more scared about anything in my life. So you guys are sticking with your answers, are you? Yep. Yep. All right. And the correct answer for this one is... A 85 % Heather and Trevor are the only two who got that correct. I'd like to change my answer. And the winner of this round of this whole game is Trevor with 4200 points. Heather comes in second with 3100 points. Mark with 2800 and drew with 2600 and James rounds it out with 2300 points. uh Yeah, that was consolation prize to take home not in this economy son uh Now if there's a tires category next we know that Ted fed drew all We have we have Tallboys and track masters on the show. How could they possibly know more about tires than I do? It's part of the set for them. Yes Well, I hope you guys enjoy that. Because we're broke. We don't have any money. I always had a tire sponsorship. So I actually couldn't tell you a single price of those either. So I really need your problems. Heather. Sure comes with its own set, right? I mean, it is coming to an end because the dealership is now closed after 48 years. So it was run. Yeah, it was a great run. Well, welcome. Welcome to Welcome to the way it is for most of us. It's hard out there. Tires got really expensive since 2020. Right, right. Hope you like Shinkos, baby. Marcus, Marcus is actually, he's reviving his stage on my bike once and I actually thought they were pretty decent. Were there some closing comments that folks may have wanted to add beyond the banter between all of us? I mean, the MSRP category killed me a lot because I don't I don't know. I'm a type of person to that once I have a bike, I just keep it. So I'm not continually shopping. Yeah, same. So yeah. Now I can say that I haven't traveled most of the US and I don't really stay at Airbnb. So I really got kneecapped on two categories, says the man who won none of those were about KT. So I really by accident. One really by accident. You ain't first, you're last, Wow. Shake and bake. Yeah. That's funny stuff. Obviously, I appreciate everybody taking the time. hope folks enjoy that. cool format. fun. Ted has a backlog of lots of these episodes, and he loves digging up some of the wildest pieces there. So I want to cheers to Ted for putting this together so people can listen. you. It's all right, great. You know, takes a lot of people asking me about that, and it takes... a lot of hours to put that together. There's a lot of research that goes into it and, you know, and of course you screw up by giving the answers with the question. that does happen. Hopefully you didn't spend too long coming up with that particular question. um I know more than any of the other ones, you know, you know, it's like there's one right answer and the rest of them are just made up. Yep. That's it. And they're just made up. So yeah, as long as you have fun. That's all that matters. Yeah, I do. I do have a takeaway from this is a burning desire to stay at an Airbnb flower pot. Yeah, I'd say a second. Yeah, it's I mean, it's funny because we all have a smurf for that or anything. We all end up stat sheet racing over a lot of this stuff. So that's why I'm glad that Ted does this. I know that for the listeners benefit, they may not all like be like super into listening. Other people play jeopardy, but for as much as we all debate, you know, around the bar over the, on the internet, what's the best bike and what's the best tire? I'm like, dude, this is awesome to, to really flex what you really know about motorcycles versus just, you know, regurgitating crap with your friends over beers. You know, some of the topics we used to have in the past were uh engine sizes. had oh what company does, what company used to make this bike that they haven't produced in 50 years, you know, things like that. thank goodness you didn't have that tonight. We've had uh motorcycle movie topics. We've had uh Songs that had motorcycles in the lyrics somewhere Topics like that. So this is a cool category. There's a whole diverse world. I'm proposing a new category if we ever do this again in the future about event marketing In 1978 in Sturgis, how many people showed up? I've done that. Oh my god How many people attended the rally in this year and that year? In what year did this event go from? mail-in entries to online entries. Are we talking about 2020? C, you're starting troubles, what you're doing right now. You're just starting trouble. So it's great stuff. Anything anybody else wants to close out? about Batman. Is okay. Well, there's I'm sure there's a bat cycle question in there somewhere I can hear you It's enough he's in beer categories as well Did anybody produce them? Oh, oh man Orange County choppers produced I think a Coors bike once or is it a Budweiser bike? That sounds right. Either way. Yeah, either way. Either way, it's not running and no one likes it anymore. And nobody can afford it either. And G. Leno is still pissed off at him. Totally the case. So in which episode did Paul Senior pick up a chair and throw it across the room? I got to put a Fox on the back of my truck. Oh my gosh. Yeah, there's a lot of you guys want to do this again by all means. Let me know and I can uh I'll toughen it up. I'll be sure to include something about tires. All right, marketing. Right beer. Yes. What am I missing? Events. Events. Just a whole category about bikes. And Batman. Anything vintage bike related be cool in the future. B careful what you ask for. I have heard Ted rip some people with some like Black Shadow era type stuff before. Okay, so beer. Nice. Strong start to grocery list. like it. Definitely that Batman. Tires. No, Tires. Tires. Good. Okay. We'll do a year of buying our own tires before she comes back on. And we'll do MSRP again for Heather. Yeah, yeah, great. Loved it. Because Trevor liked to travel, also do Airbnb. Yes. Perfect. It should definitely be either this RV or this trailer is for rent on various places across the country. I'm all about this. Airbnb used to their site used to be different across the top of the page They used to have little icons for all the different types they had they had like a spaceship They show a cave they show a castle Yeah All these different icons for all the different types of places you could stay in and all you to do is click on it And you would see just a slew of whatever that was Now they took that away. So now you've searched by state or country or whatever. So Needless to say searching for these things becomes a little harder James you should send them a link to the cabin we stayed in when we went and did Coalfields. No. Oh yeah. you put a marble in the middle of the floor it was going to end up outside. That was a great time. had to feel through the shower pan with your feet where the floor joists were because the subfloor is completely rotted so you had to make sure you're standing floor joist and floor joist so didn't fall through the shower pan. Wow. All for the low low price of $995 a night. I'm curious to see if the abandoned missile silo was actually the atomic cannon so if you didn't pay your bill you'd that's wild stuff. Honey, they repossess the radioactive artillery. I just can't wait to ride to Nebraska and check out that ball of stamps. Can you a more boring motorcycle ride going to Nebraska for that? Well, if you guys you don't know if you go to Roadside America, I don't know what we just go Roadside America. There are roadside oddities all over the country and in Canada. And that's the idea of this is you can just like cruise around and just like check out these things. There is some very bizarre stuff out there. Very nice. They told me about the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota. Yeah. So in Chester, West Virginia, right? No, yeah, city of Chester, West Virginia, Hancock County. There is the world's largest teapot. Yep, right on the Ohio River. I don't think that you can stay in it, but... Drew, you've probably seen these. I don't know where they are exactly, but they're, I've seen them before. I can't, I just can't remember, but they're giant, like, corn cobs. Yes, I've been to that place in Columbus. They're like statues. Yeah. It's funny that you mentioned that because we're talking about landmarks. There's a game that a lot of clubs play. So actually this is something I think the listeners will appreciate. If you're looking for a place to ride, if you get on an adventure rider, there's moto tag and you can play moto tag in your state. can play it in areas. It is cool because that's what happens is that somebody starts the game and they take a picture of their bike in front of, this case, a bunch of concrete corncobs in Columbus. area ish or Springfield I forget where it was and so somebody has to look up where that is find it go there take a picture of their bike in front of it and then they have to find a new tag each one of the forums kind of has their own rules so we always play you have 24 hours so the idea usually is you go there take a picture of your bike and you post that picture so you can claim the tag that you have it then you have 24 hours to post a new tag of some other place and so it moves around and it's it's really competitive Like a lot of retirees crush that on Adventure Rider here in Ohio. It'll move from Cincinnati to Cleveland like in minutes. It's crazy. They used to have one in West Virginia, but someone did a tag in front of a Dollar General and no one can find out what you meant. That doesn't really narrow it down, does it? It's all that Lake Superior news recently. uh Somebody posted that picture of a Dollar General at the bottom of Lake Superior. It's pretty funny. So if you go to Airbnb, sorry, sorry, go to a roadside America and you pick on any one of these, you know, just go call out or for example, show you the map. That's whatever it pops up. And then these are all the pins of every place that you can go to Indiana, Joe's bed and breakfast. What? I got to write that down. You go to bed and a giant boulder just follows you. It's like the beer can castle. like that. Trevor, you got to get there, man. James, we could build our own. Yeah, I probably got enough in the garage. Yeah. do our own Airbnb right here. Did you guys want to plug your podcast before we close it out here? All Motorcycle Men Podcast. Check us out. We do weekly podcasts. And usually it's interviews mostly now these days. But when I do get together with my brothers and our friend, we usually talk a lot of nonsense and crap, lighthouses and things like that. it's Motorcycle Men Podcast. We say stupid crap so you don't have to. I have Momentum, a motorsports podcast. The episodes release weekly on Thursdays. Interview style format with people all across the motorsports industry. And yeah, you can find it on YouTube or any podcast player. Yeah, check out Tallboys and Track Masters. We go live usually every other Tuesday. We have insights, interviews and industry news. Had to layer down a lot of other really fun and exciting topics. yeah, live on Facebook, YouTube and now on Spotify as well. There's also a solid chance that we're probably holding the record for the most beers drank on any Moto related podcast. Well, episode 100 is coming up next after this one. We may have something in the works along that Something big. That beer castle that you were just talking about. We could probably make one after this show. It'll be like a commemorative episode with the castle. It's actually the final episode. It's going to be titled Tall Boys and Alcohol Poisoning. There's a West Virginia joke in there. It's funny. Mark and myself here on Moto Adventure Unscripted, where I guess we do some interviews, but you and I mostly stat sheet race and debate affordable motorcycle choices. don't know. What do think the majority of our topics are, Motorcycle stats. Majority is me calling you a cheap ass. The rest of it is basically what you said. Yeah. That's right. I definitely appreciate everybody joining here for the show. the listeners enjoy it. So we will catch folks down the road. Thanks a lot, That's great. Thanks again. had a great time.
