Summary
Fan-favorite Lance Oliver joins HSLS to break down the biggest news from EICMA 2025: The surprising new Suzuki SV-7GX, BMW's controversial F 450 GS (and its AI photos), Honda's wild V3R 900 E-Compressor concept, and the rise of brands like CFMOTO and Royal Enfield. Plus, they debate the "trickle-down" tech trend and ask: are big motorcycle shows like EICMA even relevant anymore?
But where is Zack Courts? Spurgeon Dunbar explains Zack's absence (get well soon!) as well as the engine-sound guessing game, whether or not you should get a bigger bike, and much more!

| 0:00.0 | Breaking news. High side, low side America's favorite motorcycle podcast is back for season 11. I am |
| 0:07.4 | Spurgeon Dunbar. However, I am not joined today by my normal co-host Zachary courts, and that's because |
| 0:13.0 | Zachary had an accident on a motorcycle. Hey, this podcast is named after the two different ways you can |
| 0:20.7 | crash a motorcycle. You |
| 0:21.5 | have a high side. You have a low side. Zach had one of those two and is recovering from an |
| 0:27.2 | accident. So he will be out for the first couple episodes of this season. Fear not, he will be |
| 0:32.6 | returning. He is okay in the long run. But in the meantime, we put our thinking caps on and we came up with some interesting |
| 0:40.7 | guests to get the season started. |
| 0:42.8 | So Ryan F9 will be on the podcast this season talking about his groundbreaking new documentary. |
| 0:49.8 | He will be joined by Spencer Robert, our very own producer for CTXP and other productions like |
| 0:56.0 | Shop Manual and Daily Rider. We will also have other regular favorites like Ari Henning |
| 1:01.7 | and Patrick Garvin to discuss the motorcycle dating game coming back again. And we might even have |

| 1:14.3 | Today, however, we are kicking off the season with a fan favorite Lance the Silver |
| 1:20.9 | Fox Oliver, who joined us despite having a cranky old man cough that was tickling the back |
| 1:26.3 | of his throat. |
| 1:26.9 | He was actually a little bit |
| 1:27.6 | under the weather, but he pulled through in support of Zach to sit down and talk about |
| 1:33.3 | Aikma and everything we saw roll out of Italy last week. We're also going to be discussing |
| 1:38.4 | Revzilla's 18th birthday. We can vote. And I mean, you can't even smoke at 18 anymore. |
