DOTR Podcast Ep. 006 - HazeyyAlexx

Join us for an incredible conversation with our talented guest, Alexis "Alex", a certified Harley-Davidson technician who's deeply immersed in the motorsports culture. In this episode, Alex takes us on a journey through her experiences at Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI), working at a dealership, and now testing the latest innovations at Harley-Davidson's proving grounds in Yucca Valley. Together, we explore the importance of preserving the art of boring and honing and pass on this lost knowledge to the next generation of motorcyclists. We also dive into the thrilling world of motorcycle racing, where Alex shares her extraordinary family legacy and her early introduction to riding motorcycles at the age of three. We discuss her journey through motocross and drag racing, while celebrating the joy of watching our kids learn to ride and the importance of following our passions while providing for our children. Lastly, we have an open and honest conversation about mechanic life and work culture, comparing the differences between working in a dealership and an aftermarket shop, and discussing resources available for aspiring motorcyclists. Listen as we share personal experiences about the rituals of the shop and how coffee became a cherished part of our workdays. Don't miss this insightful and inspiring episode with the amazing Alex!

DOTR Podcast Ep. 005 - Sity

We were referred to our guest, Sity, by a Cristian Sosa of Sosa Metalworks. If you know of his work, you would understand how you don't take his referrals lightly. Sity is a machinist based out of Globe, Arizona. She builds motorcycles out of her living room that she transformed into a shop. Lift, toolboxes and all. Sity was in Vegas to take her third metal-shaping class with Sosa and Japhands Kustoms and then top it off with some dirt bike riding all while continuing her fast-paced education in engineering. We're stoked to have had the opportunity to catch up with her.

This episode was powered by Sosa Metalworks. He is a local Las Vegas metal-shaper and motorcycle builder. His shop breathes life into everyone that steps foot into it. There’s soul in everything that is built there that you can feel. If you’re seeking to start or sharpen your metal-shaping skills, Cristian and Japhands Kustoms hold multiple day classes and you can sign up for these on their website.
