On this weekâs episode of the podcast, we welcome back a fan favorite and four-time returning guest â and this time, he showed up in serious style, riding his motorcycle all the way from Dubuque, Iowa to the Speakeasy Studio!
We fire up the mics and dive deep into the details of our upcoming trip to Sturgis, South Dakota for the legendary 85th Anniversary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally â one of the biggest, wildest, and most iconic biker gatherings in the world. We talk about everything from the route weâre taking, to the towns weâll roll through, the roadside stops weâre looking forward to, and what weâre hoping to experience once we hit Sturgis.
But thatâs just the beginning.
We also get into what makes our Speakeasy Riding Group special â the rides weâve been on, the memories weâve made, and the stories that get better every time we tell them. A big part of our tradition? Collecting custom patches from every brewery and unique stop we hit along the way. We compare vests and trade stories behind the patches: the hidden gems, the sketchy dives, the amazing brews, and the laughs that came with each one.
And of course, we answer the all-important question: who in the crew has a patch from the furthest place away from home?
So whether you ride or just love a good road story, this episode is packed with laughs, camaraderie, and the kind of two-wheeled wanderlust that fuels every great biker tale. Donât miss it â fire it up and ride along with us!
