CleanEp 005 Interview with Walt Fulton and Nancy Foote | Episode 005 is simply the extended interview with Walt Fulton and Nancy Foote that was promised in Episode 003. I had the chance to take the Streetmasters course and was amazed by how much my skill went up as a rider. I had slugged out about half and hour for the interview for Walt and Nancy to talk about the program, but after my first question, I knew this was going to be something special. Walt and Nancy go in to detail about Walt's famous father Walt Futon, Jr. Walt then goes into his racing career and the origins of Streetmasters. Walt and Nancy then go on to talk about their recent Alaska trip to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Some recent stories about Streetmasters can be found at Motorcycle.com and canyonchasers.com. As always, if you have any questions, comments, stories, or suggestions, please contact me at socalbmw@me.com. | 11/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanEp 004 Guest David Townsend | Episode 004 is already one of the best. David Townsend serves as guest host. David is the Parts Manager at Irv Seaver BMW and a rabid demon when it comes to off-road riding. This episode also features an interview with Mark Paz of Ride Like A Pro - West Coast. Mark teaches the advanced low-speed maneuvers taught in police motorcycle training to civilian riders. He's a blast to interview and have as an instructor on the course.

Customer Reviews
This is really cool
I'm relatively new to riding. I really love this podcast. It's informative, conversational, and a lot of fun. I feel like going out and riding! Jim and Terry made me laugh several times. I can't wait to hear the next one.
Nice Job!
I heard this second episode all in one listening and it was nice. Good information and great interviews. It shouldn't take too long for this podcast to come into its own groove. I can't wait to hear the next one.
These podcasts keep getting better.
I'm halfway through listening to this series of pdcasts, and enjoying them so far. OK, so you're preaching to the choir since I already own a BMW but now I want a Schuberth helmet to wear, while enjoying a round the world Edelweiss tour.
Although the sales pitch is for the newest bikes, the R1200GS seems to keep popping up as the favorite. Glad to hear that the owner of Edelweiss likes the 650GS - like mine.
Walt and Nancy had some great information to share, about their Streetmasters class (the best motorcycle accessory any rider can buy). And of course it's true what Walt said; if you think you need this class, take it. If you think you don't need it, take it twice.
The podcasts aren't rocket science, but a very pleasant way to be entertained while walking with the dogs. It's like kicking tires in a parking lot, with a lot of very cool motorcycle enthusiasts.
Edited: I've listened to every episode so far and they're getting better and better. The first one was heavy on the BMW advertising but subsequent issues are about motorcycling in general. Jim does a great job with the technical side of the production, creating a podcast that is crisp, clean and very easy to listen to.
