Episode 138 – Ride the monster February 3, 2013 Short and quick show this week. Not much in the news and it seems everyone is busy with The Wintery Winterness of Winter. Anyway, the guys speculate on KTM and Husqvaran’s bright new future. After such a quiet and tight-lipped deal, speculation is all we have, and we wring it for all its worth, like the proverbial turkey’s neck on Thanksgiving. Zeeeeeeeeeeeeee Twooooo Fiddy! Kawasaki introduces the tiny Ninja’s standard version to the world, and does that mean a 300-sized version for the US market? SPECULATION! It abounds. Learn to love it; it’s all we gots. Then there’s feedback and linky-links and more discussion fodder. Enjoy!

Episode 134 – We’re back! (That’s as catchy a title as I can muster today) January 6, 2013 The Pace celebrates the fact that the world didn’t end with a triumphant return to the Interwebs… ALL the Interwebs… with episode 134. 1 + 3 = 4. There’s some significance there. If anyone knows any Mayans, please let them know I have some weird math thing that needs lookin’ at. Meanwhile, we give you some product (and place!)reviews, some news, some speculation, some incredibly insightful and well-reasoned discussion, and we answer all your feedback questions with the same poise, dedication and flawless logic that has seen The Pace paving everything in their way and leaving a wake of tears, uncertainty and dou…. no, wait. None of that is right. Well, the feedback part is right. We try, anyway. Welcome to 2013, the first year of the rest of your life.

We have a dual purpose episode this week. It’s a bizarre Frankenstein’s monster of a show bringing The Pace and The Wheelnerds together for the second time!  We have our usual measure of news, email and random diversions along with a couple classified ads that Todd brought with him. Get ready! Here comes The Pace 130 and Wheelnerds 65!

Hey all. We’re sorry to say we’re taking the week off. James is enjoying a much needed vacation, and I’m working on coordinating some family emergency travel. I can spill some details on that later, but for now let me just say that we appreciate your patience and your hanging in there when life gets in the way of the show. The Pace has the best audience in all of Podcastdom. Don’t ever doubt that. Thanks and stay tuned for next week’s show.  

Episode 129: I didn’t read that article October 14, 2012 This week, while James is off exploring the wilds of corporate travel, Chris enlists the help of his friend John, an MSF instructor, long time rider and track day junkie, to help keep the show on track (pun!). In true Pace Podcast form, many a rathole was visited, and many a tangent was… tangentalized.
