Episode 338Shop Talk 338: Harley’s Ride Program, The Panster Legacy & Bringing Chopper Culture Back to Thunder Beach
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Spring’s on and Shop Talk is back with a full throttle episode covering motorcycle news, builder stories, and the culture that keeps it all alive.
We kick things off with Harley-Davidson’s new Ride program, then dig into the story behind Dennis Stemp’s unfinished Panster project—a piece of motorcycle history that still has more to say. There’s also a look at a screen-used Harley from Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny heading to auction, along with a quick hit on current industry news.
From there, it gets into the heart of it. Bernie Sebesta of Ruthless Cycles USA and Tommy Sandegard from the Iron and Chrome Collective join the show to talk about building bikes instead of buying parts, what separates choppers from customs, and their push to bring real-deal chopper culture back to Thunder Beach.
We also feature Irish Rich breaking down the Chrome Nun from Sturgis, a spotlight on a Gasbox stainless air cleaner cover, and a rundown of upcoming events including Thunder Beach, Chop Suey 3, TMMR, Motoblot, and the SmokeOut Rally.
If you’re into vintage motorcycles, custom builds, chopper culture, and the stories behind the machines, this episode delivers.
