Hey boys and girls.The Motorcycle Men will not be producing a podcast this week.  The reason is simple.... I'm in the Florida Keys.  So while I'm down here enjoying the sunshine, surf and great food, my co-hosts are holding down the fort in the cold temperatures and rain.  Mighty nice of them.  In preparation for next weeks podcast, I'm going to be out on a Harley Road King this week... because... why not. But be prepared... we've got a great show planned for next week. A special guest and cool information and fun stuff.Stay dry and warm kids!!TedHost - Motorcycle Men Support the show
