In this week’s show Ride On’s globe-trotting crew rides through Scily on a trio of terrific Moto-Guzzis…we’ll see the latest progress in J&P’s Metric Makeover…& in Shop Talk we’ll get a grip on grips for your bike! 

Riding in Sicily
We’ve rounded up the usual suspects – Dennis Gage (the handle-bar-mustachioed My Classic Car dude) along with motorcycle photo-journalist Neale Bayley & Dennis’ son  Sam – & hooked them up with three fantastic new Moto-Guzzis for four days of the fredom of the open roads of the Mediterranean island of Sicily.  As you’ll see, the photography is brilliant, the people & places fascinating, & the make-it-up-as-you-go itinerary perfect for motorcycling.  You’ll love watching this tour as much as we did filming it!

J&P Metric Makeover
Progress continues as The Baron (John Vaugn-Chaldy) & the J&P crew transform a stock Kawi Vulcan into a show-quality bike with a ‘70s muscle-car theme.  Using a surprisingly small number of easy bolt-on replacement parts & accessories, the guys are showing just what you can do in your own garage to make a motorcycle your very own.  You can follow the makeover at jpcycles.com.

Shop Talk: Grip Types & Installation
If you think the grips are a permanent part of your motorcycle – think again! Especially if you ride ATVs or dirt bikes, the stress on the grips is very high, & as it turns out there are some tricks to proper grip replacement.  In this segment we turn to the experts – MMI Chief Instructor Chris Reo, in fact – to get a grip on the right way to do it – as well as doing a little grip myth-busting.  Check it out!
