New Podcast Episode and Facebook Live Events

I’ve decided to record new Facebook Live Event episodes for my podcast, so you can either join me online or listen afterward!

Season 2, Episode 10 is here: Common Gear Mistakes and How to Avoid Them. I recorded it live on Facebook two days ago.

You can also rewatch this event on my facebook page here. Although looking at me on video probably doesn’t help.

If you haven’t listened to Season 1 of my podcast, you can download and listen on iTunes or on my website here.

Common Gear Mistakes And How To Avoid Them

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 2020

7PM East / 4PM West

Where: Facebook.com/GearChic

RSVP HERE

Join me Wednesday night, I’m going to share some common gear mistakes you might be making. This idea has been swirling in my head for months, I finally decided to just schedule a 45 minute-1 hour talk about this.

And then we’ll have 15 minutes or so for QnA at the end.

Doesn’t matter if you’re experienced at riding, or new at riding.

Gear is fluid and so much of how it works and what it does for us depends on how you may use it or want it to work.

I’ll cover how wearing a helmet that isn’t designed for your riding position can be a negative or positive thing

The human aspect of wearing gear adds another layer of difficulty sometimes because when our gear doesnt do what we want it to do, it can be frustrating or a let down.

I’m going to give you the most common mistakes that I run into when I talk to customers about riding gear. Sometimes I’m right, and sometimes I’m wrong.

Feel free to post any questions here as well, but you can rsvp and post in the Facebook Event too.

I never have enough to do so I started a brand new motorcycle show on Facebook, called The Lean Angle.

We’ll be streaming live on Facebook, on our page here: Facebook.com/LeanAngleShow.

The Lean Angle will cover a wide range of topics as it relates to motorcycles. Alisa has a strong solo travel, dual sport background (in addition to street touring) and Porsche has a lot of experience in solo travel, sport touring and cruising. And you know me and my sporty bike addiction.

We hope to be on at least once a month for ~60 minutes but will do our best to try and see you a little sooner. With summer around the corner, our schedules are hectic but we all love talking about motorcycles so check out our first episode which aired last night!

And you DON’T even need a Facebook account to watch! But if you do have an account, post a comment in the episode and let us know your thoughts including what kinds of topics you’d like us to cover in future episodes.

So it doesn’t matter who you are, what/when/how/where you ride. Join us on The Lean Angle!
