This week on our motorcycle podcast, things are different. We are in the early stages of the Covid 19 pandemic, and we are yet to really comprehend how this is going to affect our lives. Events are being shut down left and right, and schools are closing. But in the middle of this uncertainty you can expect that we will continue to bring you stories from the two wheeled perspective, and this is something that can't be taken away from us. So it was especially awesome that our guest, Tom Medema of Rally for Rangers, still made the long ride to join us in studio and share his amazing story. This group is providing motorcycles to park rangers around the world to help them do their jobs protecting the land, animals and historical sites. But wait, it gets even better. Anyone can sign up and participate in this. In fact, you get to ride the bike on an epic adventure and then at the end, present your bike to one of these rangers. Really awesome what they are doing. https://rallyforrangers.org/ Next up we talk to former guest Tamar AKA Doctor Detroit. She's a working ER doctor, and calls from the hospital to give us the facts about Covid 19 as she knows it. And lastly we talk to Zach who was at Daytona Bike Week as the pandemic was being realized. It was definitely a different experience then everyone expected. And it's possible that we may not have another motorcycle rally for quite some time. Yikes. So enjoy the show, and hopefully you'll be a little more informed. With Liza, Nak, Bagel, Miss Emma, Tom, Isaac and Naked Jim.
