Hole in the Head Moto Podcast

Every adventure starts with a conversation, and this one is well under way.   In our last chat we were in awe about the universe’s master plan to fulfill Blaine’s lifelong goal of having a particularly collectible motorcycle, without the pre-requisite of my untimely demise.  A passed-up BMW led to a purchased BMW led to space becoming available in my garage, which was promptly filled with a Moto G...

This week's conversation was a turning point for our Pandemic Summer.  A moment of Craigslist weakness for me leads to a new Guzzi project and a potential life-saver.  Blaine and I cover a few things: a pandemic purchase; the need for a buddy bike, a powerful universe and of course... some new Italian motorcycles. ___ Any motoring story I have… started with a chat, and in retrospect, the adve...

This season of the podcast is an evolving conversation with one of my closest friends that ultimately results in a ridiculous endeavor, so I do suggest starting at the beginning.   In this session, the inevitability of adventure quietly expands.  At this point in our recordings, Blaine and I  no real ideas or scheme beyond just showing up, or really how this was going to be different than any othe...

This season of the podcast is an evolving one, so if you haven’t heard the first episode yet, I suggest going back and starting there.   Last week I said that every adventure starts with a conversation - and with a certain point of view I can trace some pretty major events in my life back to a single comment or informal sidebar that seemed irrelevant at the time. I once worked in an art gallery wi...

The first season of the Storytime podcast was three episodes of scripted tales outlining some very life-sized motorcycle adventures.  I’ve still got stories and some interviews that I want to share, but I’m not sure if the scripted audiobook format is appropriate at the moment.  It’s a lot of looking back and remembering and frankly, more of an exercise in prose than adventuring.   And any story I...

The Hole in the Head Podcast is an ongoing conversation between Andy Taylor and Blaine Dehmlow.  We’re regular guys who love all things vintage cars and motorcycles, but also building and mechanical projects of all kinds. Some of our worst ideas often come to life as we find and fix old, weird projects, with or without the emotional support of our significant others. Join us as we chase vintage BM...

This episode is about a motorcycle that’s had multiple lives, reincarnating a few times to bring joy to not just me, but to an entire community of riders and friends.  From a garage fire in Northern California to the Bonneville Salt Flats. I hope you enjoy this story of a unique bike and the guy that rode it flat out. Hear all the episodes at https://www.holeintheheadmoto.com/storytime *** I'...
