Honda CB1000F + Sabatino Moto at Mecum + Peter Egan
byMotos and Friends by Ultimate Motorcycle
Hello and welcome again to the Motos and Friends Podcast, my name is Arthur Coldwells. Our subjects this episode can best be described as ‘iconic’.
Honda motorcycles recently launched the all-new CB1000F, a retro-styled inline-4 roadster that created an absolute social media sensation when it was announced. The er… iconic(!) styling is of course an homage to Freddie Spencer’s 1980/81 AMA CB750 Superbike with its swooping lines and silver paint with blue accents. Freddie rode the superbike so ferociously that sometimes he’d bend the handlebars at high speed. Jonathan Handler rode the new bike recently, and although he didn’t quite do that, he did however have an apparently very spirited ride that left him impressed. The new CB1000F is clearly an outstanding motorcycle, and Jonathan gives us the lowdown on exactly why you’re going to have make space in your garage for one of them.

The annual Mecum Motorcycle auction in Las Vegas is now an ahem… iconic event, yet many people believe it’s aimed at only very serious buyers with very deep pockets. Of course the really expensive vintage motorcycles are the ones that grab the headlines, but interestingly, there is way more to the Mecum Vegas auction than you’ve probably heard. There are also hundreds much more modestly-priced bikes as well, with a strong chance you could pick up a dream bargain if you play your cards right. For this episode, I found Eric Sabatino, who started Sabatino Moto in Portland Oregon a few years ago. It rapidly became one of the top Royal Enfield dealers in the country. Eric went to mecum Las Vegas for the first time earlier this year and was blown away by what he found. The auction ended with him winning a classic BSA, and admits it was such a good deal he feels like he practically stole it. Clearly going to Mecum was an eye-opening experience for him and quite different from what he’d been led to expect. Eric tells us all about his experience and how you too might be able to have the bike of your dreams follow you home this coming February.

This episode’s guest is Peter Egan, the (dare-I-say) iconic American writer whose 40-year career specialized in motorcycle and automotive journalism with magazines Cycle World and Road & Track. I’m sure you’re familiar with Peter’s writing as he’s published many, many books. Peter is of course a natural story-teller, and he chats with Teejay Adams on how he got started, a look back at his amazing career, and some of his adventures along the way. Peter is also a pilot, and recently published another book, Landings in America: Two People, One Summer, and a Piper Cub, and his anecdotes from that are just as entertaining too.
