Fuel Stop Chats with James & Chris ~ ~ ~ Twitter and Instagram @fuelstopchats
Whenever you are on a motorcycle ride, either a trip across the country, a weekend clover leaf with some friends or just out to get new bottle of whiskey and cigars, if you ever stop for gas, more times than not, someone will walk up and say those famous two words, "Nice Bike..." and a conversation usually goes from there. This podcast is about Motorcycle talk, trip advice, packing lists, history, routes, cigars and more. James and Chris are not professional riders, but are passionate about a good ride, a fun trip and the history that surrounds us on a ride. Have a quick listen and drop us a note, a question or a topic on twitter @fuelstopchats. Also, we try to post pictures from the rides or routes we discuss, our instagram is @fuelstopchats as well.
