Highside/Lowside podcast: The Mount Rushmore of touring motorcycle engines

Jun 09, 2023

If Mount Rushmore featured motorcycle engines instead of the profiles of dead presidents, what would be up there?

Your Highside/Lowside hosts, Spurgeon and Zack, are joined by our J&P Cycles colleague Patrick Garvin — three guys with a very broad range of experience covering big miles on various motorcycles powered by different kinds of engines, from Honda Gold Wings with flat-six engines to traditional V-twins in Harley-Davidson's touring models. There are a lot of good ways to get down the road, and the kind of tour you're planning may influence which form of mechanical motivation you like best. And of course personal preference plays a big role. You like smooth or rumbly?

There's a lot to consider and no answer is totally right or wrong, so listen in as the Highside/Lowside crew decides how they want to be powered down the highway. You may be surprised where they end up. They were. (And if you like this episode, they may be back with future podcasts on the best engines for other kinds of riding.)

Listen to Highside/Lowside

As always, the podcast version of Spurgeon and Zack's discussion is available via SpotifyApple iTunesStitcher, and LibSyn for those with accounts.
