Ever had the urge to take a motorcycle tour? I have been wanting to for quite some time and the first one that I will take is one offered by MotoCaribe Motorcycle Tours. Read the blog, sign up for email, updates, watch tour video and more at the MotoCaribe Motorcycle Tour blog. This tour is in the Dominican Republic and is one of the most affordable tours that I have found. The DR offers it all from mountains, to tropical rain forest, to arid desert regions, to the finest aqua blue water beach views around. Take a two wheel tour and explore a land widely untouched by the urbanization of the Western world. You can follow the link above or reach Ed to book a tour at 877-MOTOFUN ext. 100. This episode we talk with Ed Denzler, owner and lead rider of MotorCaribe.

We move into a mention of the FX show Sons of Anarchy. This is by far my fave show and one of the very few that I watch. It draws you in to the created world and makes you feel a part. There are two SOA podcasts that I have recently stumbled upon that I enjoy listening to. Check out Watchers of Anarchy and SAMCRO: A Podcast for the Fans of Sons of Anarchy. Give them a listen. After all, it is a long time until Season 3 starts. If you have been watching the show, listen in on the past episodes and you will discover show info that you missed.

Condolences to the Hurt family on the passing of Harry Hurt, the author of the famous Hurt Report that shaped motorcycle safety programs all over the nation and world. Harry passed away November 29th of a heart attack.

In the opening show dialogue I mentioned that we would cover recalls tonight. The MotoCaribe interview was going too well to shut it down and we went long. We will cover recalls in episode 16 coming out soon.

I have email addresses available for anyone interested. If you would like to have a You@mcnationpodcast.com email shoot me an email at steve@mcnationpodcast.com Include the name you want and I will set it up and contact you when complete.

I am a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy and I plan on speaking a little bit about it in the next podcast episode that I plan on putting out sometime in the next week as time permits. I was very sad to see the season finale come as it seems that season 2 just began and it was over. The finale was so full of twists and turns and has left so many questions unanswered. I am dying to get on with the show and see what is going to happen next. Stahl is an animal and has really put Gemma in a bad situation. Cameron has really signed his death warrant if Jax and the boys can get to him. That prick Westin has been done in and I can’t wait for Zobelle to get his because I don’t think that Clay will let this go and he will make Zobelle’s murder his top priority. Rarely have I felt so much a part of a show that I felt true hatred towards a character when I saw them on screen. Westin and Zobelle are easy to hate. This show is gonna rock next season as well.

If you have not been watching the show I urge you to check it out. It is not for everyone and there will even be motorcyclists that have no interest in it but you should watch one episode and give it a shot. Hulu has many past episodes and you can also buy season 1 on DVD. Season 3 will start in September of 2010. Check it out, you won’t be sorry. I also ran across two podcasts that are SOA fan podcasts that I enjoy listening to. I just discovered them last night and have been listening to the episodes all day today trying to catch up with all of them. Check out Watchers of Anarchy and SAMCRO: A Podcast for the Fans of Sons of Anarchy

I was excited when I heard that the show Sons of Anarchy was coming out. I really wanted to catch this show but had so many things going on in my life that I would either forget to turn the TV over to FX or I was just too busy with life to take the hour out of my day to check into it. So, I thought about it tonight and decided to check out the website and see what was happening in the show. I lurked there for a little while and went looking for a season 1 set on DVD which I did not find as most sites said it was not out yet.

Then I thought about Hulu and jumped over there to see what they had and they have 43 short clips and 5 full episodes. Tonight I watched one full episode as I need to get some sleep and it is 12:15 am already and I have to go to work. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and will catch up on the other available episodes over the next few days as time permits. I have had the opportunity to spend time around 1% motorcycle clubs and the show has some similarities but is definitely not totally true to life. Anyway, it is exciting and packs alot of action and drama mixed in which really works together to keep your attention.

I thought about doing something with the show but do not want to waste my time. If you watch Sons of Anarchy would you please leave a comment on this post so that I can gauge how much interest there is in the show from my readers? I would greatly appreciate your comment and your thoughts on the show.

The next podcast is coming soon and we will have our first interview in the history of the podcast. I won’t give all the details here but I hope that the interview will provide a new facet to the show and be a major step in the quest for a more professional format. Also, coming up February 7th I will be attending the International Motorcycle Show in Chicago and will be taping what I can there. Don’t miss out. Thanks to all of you that have been checking in with us. We have had 120 listen to the podcast and over 200 read the blog in the past couple of weeks. Not bad since we have only been around for about 3 weeks so keep your friends coming and keep sharing the name and address. Running out of available bandwith on this free site will actually be a good thing and we will move over to our own domain when that happens. Load me up!

Until next time Ride Safe
