Our guest is once again new rider Angel Kendall, who kicks things off with a gravel-at-70 wake-up call. She wants to know more about finding the right community, growing her route radius and seasonal gear choices. Reflex mistakes in the form of mirrorless lane changes, stalls and a sidestand oops also get due mention.
Maggie's part translator, part truth-teller, explaining what "naked" bikes are before confessing to being stranded by her Triumph Street Triple's immobilizer. She vouches for mesh gear with armor when summer gets hot. As an instructor, her mantra is simple: eyes up, habits tight and look as far ahead as you safely can.
Joanne is on resource duty, sharing a link to Angel's Ninja 400 owner's manual. She treats airbags like smart insurance if/when Alpinestars or Dainese women's cuts actually fit. She speaks honestly about community and skill fade, admitting to her own rust after a U-turn tip-over in Denver (only bent the shifter thanks to crash bars).
