Doodle On A Motorcycle | HSLS S07E09

[@RevZilla]

It’s time to get your bike on the road, Motul has what you need! rvz.la/43WKrgm Have you signed up for our Rider Plus Membership yet? rvz.la/45hZdzD Don’t miss out on the latest Moto news on Common Tread rvz.la/3OllyoX

[@stravoxylo3678]

As an experienced rider, I appreciate Revzilla's efforts to encourage new riders.

[@David..]

Ohh they do two. Looking at my Revzilla purchase history (which is as long as a phone book 😳) I noticed I bought a considerable amount of shit when I first started. Really funny looking at some of these orders, very clear when I tried to buy some cheap garbage and came back 2 weeks later and bought the better version 😂.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Congratulations to Caroline for making it on a Revzilla podcast!

[@Vstromxt]

I've been watching Doodle since the S40 days. I was teaching my wife about the same time Doodle started her channel. They both have come a long way. Myself been riding since I was 8 years old now 50+ years and 200k+ miles on the seat.

[@davids2096]

I've been watching Doodle since the beginning of her channel! She is an amazing person, and I admire her because she's conquering all her fears and living out her adventures! Not many people are that dedicated regardless of their gender, age and size! What she's doing is truly admirable, and people like her give me motivation that I can also achieve my goals on 2 wheels and in life in general! Take care you all and always ride safe and take all necessary precautions! Have a great one, and goodbye!

[@MyLife-og2kr]

Doodle, you did great on this interview. You listened, didnt talk over anyone, great storytelling. Basically everything was great. I'm not sure if you had previous interviews like this before, but props. You're a gem.

[@jeffhachtel]

Motorcyclists and guitarists share at least two things in common, culture wise. One is the welcoming and encouraging culture. We're just glad you're here and that there are more people to share our passion with. Both can also be a bit religious about the brands and models we love without being too harsh on others with differing opinions, as opposed to say the automotive world, e.g., Ford vs Chevy. (I am also very happy with the new Gibsons and have bought a new 50's LP Standard; great guitar.)

[@gixxusmetalman7435]

How come every metal band always sound better with a little Les Paul 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@nicholaskalogris9985]

Doodle has done an awesome job in inspiring more people to ride. Doodle Rocks!

[@dglesterhardunkichud7860]

Loved that you had Doodle on the channel. It is nice hearing a newer rider's perspective along with the grizzly ole vets

[@markdawson5215]

@zackcourts, thanks for asking about the Gauntlet outline. I knew it was a course of some sort, but I can't recall Doodle ever mentioning it in her videos, and I was hoping it would come up in this interview. I think that what makes Doodle's videos interesting and relatable is precisely the "taking the journey from the beginning" part, combined with the elasticity of her spirit. She gets down sometimes, but always bounces back. She shares her failures, as y'all do on Common Tread, but her failures and fears are much more like mine as a novice rider (1+ year of experience). The one time I dropped a liter bike while stopped at an intersection, my first instinct was to think "screw it" and walk away. I've seen her drop bikes dozens of times, and the fact that she keeps picking them up helps me to want to follow that example.

[@airmx127]

Grew up on fort bragg and my dad was a green barrette. Knew of a few army special operators. They do get offroad motorcycle training. This was in the late 2000s by well known honda rider and ambassador Ricky Johnson. They were at a local track when i was there practicing. Got to chase him around the track during their break. One of my favorite motocross memories.

[@stingits]

The Gibson new CEO is a bit of a renaissance man. He was a very successful “special situations” banker with Deutsche Bank in New York (i.e. he invested in and restructuring difficult or unusual companies and opportunities with very big dollars)-and I think he might have headed the group-before he started his own investment fund, Melody Capital, which was also very successful and managed over $1 billion before he left for Gibson. Given his fund’s name (Melody), I am thinking that guitars and music were always an important part of his life before he started to turn his serious hobby into his vocation. So he was a very successful businessman before he joined Gibson in marketing/product, which evidently showed and landed him in the CEO role in a relatively short time. So he was already acting in similar high powered leadership jobs before starting his Gibson quick ride to the top.

[@martinrenteria4513]

Guitars are definitely not universal. They’re just as varied and passionate and sentimental as bikes are to us

[@joshuaisaacson3408]

My answers to some of the lightning questions feel passe, but I didn't see them in the comments yet. Person to ride with: Steve McQueen. Point to point, glance and nod at line up, hours trying to keep up with a legend over the high desert landscape. All time motorcycle I'd want to experience: Vincent Black Shadow. Doing the Ton and then some in the Interwar years, combined with its exquisite beauty, and the noise of those swooping pipes: seems like a truly amazing experience.

[@bgisbest]

I would ride with Guy Martin, or Charley Boorman. Another great show guys.

[@rudiger007]

Those were the 1st two names that came to my mind too

[@tishie42]

There's a book called Mercycle by Piers Anthony and it's literally about riding on the bottom of the ocean!

[@MotoDash1100]

Doodle Questions: 1. Mars, because I'm boring (and it'd be a neat place). 2. Great Teacher Onizuka, OR Kino from Kino's Journey. Real world, maybe fun to ride with Noraly or Tiffani Burkett. I think riding with a character like Onizuka would be more... spontaneous and prone to "unexpected adventures" than a real world person. 3. Modern day KLR650 Diesel with a 10 gallon tank that manages to hit 80mpg minimum. Comes with a trim level that allows for an Airbox Snorkel and Exhaust Snorkel that are handlebar-level. Maybe the Trim Level with extra snorkels could be called "Hian Edition" for Hurricane Ian while sounding japanese-ish. Maybe even a higher trim level that has the snorkels but also a 5 gal auxiliary tank from factory, this trim level could be called "Outback" or something since well.. you'd have enough range to cross the outback if you go like 45mph in 6th gear 😂😂

[@christianburger25]

I think it would be cool to ride with Keanu Reeves. He has a big collection of exotic bikes I would love to ride. It would be so surreal riding with Keanu too

[@SR71BBFLYER]

Reminds me of the time I rode my ZRX1200 across the George Washington Bridge in a monsoon of a rainstorm with 50mph winds. I was leaned over as if going thru a corner the whole way across with even the sheets of rain going sideways.

[@JBinFL]

On the CEO topic, let's just say it: It only matters, or is even talked about, in the Harley community.

[@mr.j9749]

now im addicted to these podcasts! this is great content.

[@navstar52]

It was was a great show, I’m a drummer and my son is guitarist. He has a black beauty and I llve the sound. Love Doodle too! It was great see you in Sturgis and have breakfast with you Zack

[@amasdaha9734]

Always love the conversation about experiences and discussion on what to do with family and spouses disapprove of our choices to ride. Always an issue, may never be a solution, but at least talking about it helps me feel better.

[@chrisdecker8630]

NOT THE NEWS NEEDS TO BE LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! That caps means I’m screaming I was told so the calls are in purpose lol love the show !!!

[@MisterFixitNumber1]

Thanks for a fun interview with Doodle. My wife & I are longtime riders and we really enjoy her vids. Two wheels down from Tx.

[@Benjamin-xv2hg]

I used to ride across state for work each day I found if you watched the radar, you can usually see about 4 hours ahead of your current location and you can zoom out to see the whole state.

[@zakunknown9737]

I love Doodle talking about lack of maintenance. Its a common thing. I still struggle to do daily inspections.

[@johnpagejr.7628]

Great pod cast guys. I love that you have had two of my favorite KZbinrs on the pod cast. I have been watching both Itchy Boots and Doodle on a bike from the beginning. Keep up the good work.

[@Bill0167]

Me too! Love both channels!

[@neilmeiskey5482]

Me too!

[@comqu3st674]

Waiting for this all week!

[@diptenkrom]

for lighting, i would recommend quality LED upgrade bulbs for the factory lighting, if they dont come LED already. i find them to bve a game changer.

[@alanaspurling6469]

Star Trek, where Kirk asked “What does God need with a Star Ship?” That was filmed at the Trona Pinnacles…. BTW, big fan of Doodles.

[@holisticaustralia]

It was 3am in the morning... uhhg.. awake.. my mind racing from an incident that happened at work the day before, I decided to open the tube up and saw a revzilla podcast... something about doodle.. I clicked on it, put my phone down in the hope the soothing voices of Spurge, Zach and guest would put me off to sleep... some time went by and I was transported to a house with a sandpit used for construction, I was laying back in a wicca Pappasan lounge, I opened my eyes and there were my favourite podcast presenters, a short Motul ad and I was introduced as a guest on the podcast.. little old me, with my little old Kwakka Saké channel.. Hey I ran with it and all of a sudden I was asked on my opinion on what would be my unicorn bike 😊I was filled with pride as I stated I already have that bike in my stable, his name is Hopper and he is a KLR650, the trustiest steed I have ever had the pleasure of riding. Things were going great when Spurges neighbour turned up and parked their car in the gutter, it was quite a steep hill, the driver stepped out and off went the car with 2 children in the back seat, running down the hill in reverse, I jumped to attention and ran after that car only to be told it was OK.. the kids are inside and the car always does that by the way, it will come back when it is ready, I assume it was their mother telling me of this new fandangle A.I. electric car... Long story short I enjoyed my time with you guys and you even let me stay at your place, in that Pappasan, outside in the sand pit.. ✌️😊 p.s. I gained an extra 100 subscribers thanks to your podcast.. thanks guys and of course Motul..😅

[@frankmoralesiii6908]

DOODLE!!! Here you are being awesome, again. What a difference from your very first video!

[@garrettno2906]

The petcock got me one of my first times riding lol. I thought my heat gauge was a gas gauge and was impressed how my "fuel" was magically increasing as I rode. I sputtered out in the Jersey bogs and fortunately a couple older Harley guys stopped and helped me out. Felt pretty dumb but saved me from calling a tow.

[@helpfulcommenter]

Trona Pinnacles is AWESOME, I've camped out there, you can camp out there for free. It's so weird landscape. It's near China Lake Naval Weapons Station and if you're lucky you'll see the highest level of fighter jet technology flying overhead

[@magellanicspaceclouds]

I don't enjoy heavy bikes. One time I had to jump out of my work truck to help a guy pick up his bike on a busy road. It was embarrassing for him and dangerous for both of us.

[@dodgeskitz87]

At bout 45:00 you're talking about getting tired on long trips. I used to get tired before I started using earplugs. It's all bout the loud noise. I now also wear earplugs when I do long driving long distance not just on the motorcycle.

[@basedury]

i think you guys should extend the “not the news” section to 5 minutes or maybe more. i think most of the audience enjoys your takes on what’s happening in the industry, and the current time limit seems too short. great episode!

[@virginiawilliams9328]

Doodle, Collier County Sheriffs Department in Naples Florida does a free 2 day SMART Rider training class with their Motor Officers. I did it in May, it was amazing! You should check it out! Jacksonville provides the classes also.

[@Bill0167]

Great podcast interview!! its so awesome watching @doodles journey and growth! Keep doing what you do!!

[@smallbobcat08o.g.47]

Oh man. Rev trivia. The moment you hear it start up and know its a bike you have sitting in your garage and have a good idea what aftermarket exhaust it has on it too lol... Its graat! I immediately was like oh that's a Mt09. I thought the exhaust was the Two Brothers Racing but i got the bike right at least.

[@773superprguy]

Surprisingly great interview, not a doodle fan but I had alot of fun.

[@asterix908]

2 of my fav hypothetical situations to ride in from movies are 1. Oblivion movie where tom cruise rides his sci fi bike in post apocalyptic world. (also his bike is really cool, so that would be the bike from sci fi to ride) 2. Tron universe and the tron bikes

[@AdventurePiggy]

The grasshoppers in Montana and North Dakota on my way back from Get On Adv Fest were insane! Constant tapping on my boots and the skid plate was yellow 🤮

[@aussiebloke609]

I'm still hoping to eventually have a bike with fuel injection. But I started riding in late '88 with an '81 Honda CB 250RS, then went through two CB 250 Twins ('78 and '77), a '72 Suzuki GT250 (250cc being the upper limit in Australia for anyone on a learner's permit)...then upgraded to a '76 GS 750...and I currently ride a '79 CB 750-F on the daily. And eventually, I intend to learn about things like a daily check over, but haven't yet. One day I hope to get a Honda CB1100 for all those handy mod-cons like injection and ABS and LED lights...but the budget won't stretch that far yet. And yes, I know they're underpowered and old-fashioned. But so am I. 😁

[@daveco1270]

Good questions, Doodle. I'd like to ride a speeder bike on the Moon of Endor, then go to California and ride vintage Triumph desert sleds with Bud Ekins and Steve McQueen. I agree that learning basic maintenance is an important part of riding motorcycles. You should learn to change your oil and fluids, tighten your chain if needed, etc.

[@neilmeiskey5482]

Great interview, great podcast! Really enjoy watching your interviews and watch all of Doodle’s videos:).

[@thumpertorque_]

I'd ride with Soichiro Honda.

[@JW20236]

Great answer!

[@daves6851]

CEO... on guitars and motorcycles, there are loads of us into both. For every category of bikes or bikers, there is a category of guitars and guitarists. Fret boards alone vary in style as much as going from a hill climber to a HD. So the psyche of running the respective companies would be very similar.

[@Rick1984FL]

Carolyn and Jocelin Snow are both inspirations to my wife who is 4’8” herself… granted my wife isn’t really interested in motorcycling *but* she has watched videos of both these ladies and said how amazed she is to see their talents at riding big bikes and how motivating it is to see others of her stature out there doing it.

[@bobwampler3387]

Petite women are extremely attractive, but not just for their looks but their ability to punch above many other women. They seem to be high achievers in many endeavors.

Wow Doodle! This is BIG time!

Peter Eagan is a great answer. I have met him. Great guy.

This is a great morning! New HS/LS!

[@mike.boysen]

Doodle is one of the people that convinced me to get back into riding. I'm also an Atlantian. I saw her Triumph ( at an MSF event) before she let the cat outta the bag and what a perfect bike for her. She inspires adventures that people like me can try. Anyway, hello Doodle. I live 2 miles from C2W shop so Ill probably run into them first. 😢

I'm not sure I've ever been disappointed in Zack before

If Robbie Maddison rode a wave off shore on his dirtbike fitted with a paddle tire and a skimming device for the front wheel, I think with a good paddle tire it would be possible to surf the rocks and dust around Saturn's rings, right? Hahahaha

[@georgeferguson9779]

Maybe you have, I haven't watched all your episodes, but I've never heard you guys do an episode talking about helmets. I've been riding for about a year. I ride a KTM 690 Enduro R, and a Triumph Scrambler 900, and I wear a Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS helmet. I always wonder about how other helmets would sound like while I'm riding, and how they would feel. I feel the wind a lot on mine when I am going above 70 mph. I also use a Cardo now, and so I think about the noise coming into the helmet now. Maybe bring someone onto the podcast who does lots of different things on motorcycles and has used a large variety of helmets over the years. Helmets are too expensive to buy and use just for a while. This would be a very beneficial episode to your viewers if you did something like this.

[@Twinspinner]

I'm surprised none of them thought of it but I'd ride with Arthur Davidson, I'd love for him to see what motorcycle culture is like in the modern day and the advancements in tech

A couple of comments on the CEO discussion: 1) History has shown that the leader of a company should be an expert in the business of the company he leads, if possible, passionate about it. "Car guys" have been the best leaders of car companies, for example, as their leadership leads to better, more interesting, even exciting products. 2) It is also best for a company's leader to be from the same country and culture, so a better leader of that company, although this is less an issue than 1, above.

My place to ride would be a trip from the southern point of South America to northern part of Alaska like itchy boots! And as far as who I would want to ride with, I’m probably gonna have to go with Steve McQueen. He loved motorcycles and he was just one. Cool dude! I have always wanted to ride a Yamaha VMax! I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without writing one. I have wanted to have one since I was probably 12 years old!

Make sure you're sitting down for this. It's going to be shocking. Executives, especially CEOs, make a lot more in the US than their counterparts in other countries. For this reason, you see a lot of executives across all industries come to the US to make more money.

Talking about CEOs. The US is in general much more multicultural than almost all other countries. Most other countries have been multicultural for a little more than half a century whereas the US at least in theory has been since it's inception.
