Episode 25: AI And The Future Of Motorcycling

We're switching things up a little bit with this episode of the podcast. In this one, Ryan, Dennis, and Troy have a discussion about AI and motorcycles. Artificial Intelligence is the big topic in nearly every industry and ours is no different. So we're going to talk about it. We take a stab at how AI will impact the future of not just motorcycles themselves, but also how people like us bring motorcycle information to you. This one asks some questions that we're hoping you can help us answer, so please leave a comment and let us know what you think. We’d like to extend a special thank you to our podcast sponsor, the Honda Gold Wing. If you’re gonna ride, ride something legendary.

Episode 24: Michael Uhlarik And Why The Future Is Brighter Than You Think

What does it take to design a motorcycle when the brief comes from the battlefield instead of the showroom? In this episode of Bore and Stoke, we sit down with longtime motorcycle designer Michael Uhlarik to talk about his career shaping bikes across the globe, his latest project developing an electric motorcycle for military use, and why we’re looking at the wrong metrics when it comes to the future of this sport. 00:00 Intro 00:34 Advertisement 01:03 Introducing our special guest 03:22 Motorcycle background 10:29 LEGO is the reason 14:23 The connection between LEGOs and MotoGP 24:21 Motorcycle trends 34:10 Advertisement 34:42 Michael’s take on today’s MotoGP bikes 43:35 Aerodynamics on street bikes are superfluous 50:15 The most difficult motorcycle he’s ever worked on 58:30 Challenges with building military motorcycles 01:01:40 The future of motorcycling is brighter than you think 01:07:45 Sorting the economics  01:20:03 If it looks good, and is affordable, people will come 01:25:31 Closing things out/Comment/Rate us 01:28:00 Advertisement From the fundamentals of great motorcycle design to the challenges of packaging electric powertrains, Uhlarik gives us a rare look behind the curtain at how motorcycles come to life. We also dive into motorcycle design for the track versus the street, and how designing for military applications changes everything — from durability and stealth to real-world usability in extreme conditions. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into motorcycle design — and how some of those decisions are made — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
