Look, I know an hour and 40 minutes is a long time to listen - but this was truly a great conversation.

Livewire - a specific design.
January 15, 2019 Livewire - a specific design. Introducing the motorcycle built to cruise Wall St. I must give our friends in Milwaukee kudos for slogging through and delivering what (in part) has needed to happen for some time. How does the most famous motorcycle marque in the world begin to re-shape it’s brand and product range in a way to appeal to new and different riders? It takes a significant shift to make this sort of change. Ironically with bikes that don’t shift. Four yea ...Read More
