Riding the Rut Without Losing Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Snow, skis, and a barn full of slot cars set the stage for a conversation about how riders actually get better. We kick off with community vibes and featured Janus builds, then get hands-on with a forged aluminum upgrade: new Halcyon 450 pegs that fold with a satisfying detent, grip when it counts, and service easily. From there, we head north to Winter Moto Camp, where deep powder, iced roads, and a Griffin 450 in the back of a Rivian push comfort zones, and prove that smart setup and shared experience can turn chaos into confidence.
The heart of the show is a clear look at habits versus routines. We frame habits as the internal grooves formed by repetition and routines as the intentional sequences that bring order to complex tasks. On a motorcycle, that distinction is everything. Pre-ride checks, a reliable launch, how you scan and cover controls at intersections, these routines make the road simpler so you can spot risks sooner and ride with more control. As you rehearse them, they harden into habits and, over time, shape identity: “I’m the kind of rider who leaves room, reads traffic, and flows through corners.”
We ground the idea in real riding: how a better green-light sequence lowers risk, why changing a routine is hard but necessary, and how hardware choices, like those grippy 450 pegs, reinforce consistent body position. Community ties it together. Small gatherings like Rye'd or Die at Journeyman (February 14) and events like Winter Moto Camp give riders the chance to swap routines, test ideas, and raise the collective bar. Excellence isn’t a hack; it’s practice with feedback, and that’s where the fun lives.
If this resonates, tap follow and share the episode with a rider who loves both craft and community. Drop your pre-ride routine or favorite upgrade in the comments, subscribe for weekly streams, and leave a quick review to help more curious riders find the show.

It looks really, really cool in this shot. Yeah, but you guys don't see the the other side. And I ramble with a 2009 Kawasaki KLR, which I got a nice call from the repair shop over the weekend, which I because I got fed up with it and took it to the repair shop. Um, it's ready to go. Let's go. So it's not even spring yet. That's not even spring. And I have a 2017 Janice Halcyon 250. Number 68.

I really got to get with Mitch on that. I would love to have number four, but I think it's already taken. In my defense, I think I put a deposit down like maybe third. Oh, third person. Because I took my Griffin 450 deposit and put it after I heard about the Phoenix 450 coming out before anyone else. You know what I'm just saying? Uh I put I was like, I want to switch my deposit over. Nice. So I'm excited. It's gonna be sick. It's probably just gonna stay in our office, though, and be a nice, beautiful piece.

If it's gold, at least the camera has a chance of staying on staying over. I think we got it figured out. Figured out, you know. Although time will tell. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:No excuses. Uh, cuz uh Alzberg says cause jet lag. Also, that's Deutschland, not Delaware. Yeah. Uh oops. Deutschland. Deutsch. It's in Germany. The DE was in Delaware. I mean, but you guys can see where the confusion's coming from. Yeah, I would have said Delaware. Tom, greeting from Burlington, Wisconsin. Griffin 250 number 149. Halcyon 250 number 1008. Sipping monster.
SPEAKER_03:Tom, my brother. Tom also sent us a picture, or I got I saw a picture from somebody posted from Tom, and he's got uh snow tracks on the back of his Griffin 250. Snow tracks. But not just like one, like a sketch, you know, like a snow sled, like two. I'm really curious how that works. You gotta send us more pictures. But um it looks it looks amazing, and uh I approve. So that was awesome.
SPEAKER_01:That's uh I want to see that. Heat wave in Chicago, 26 degrees Fahrenheit. Greetings all. Hi Joe, how you doing? Thank you, Richard.
SPEAKER_03:For what? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what I said. Um there's a new name. Puck 971. I am planning on going to Munich this September. Just for just for beers, just for beers. Send pictures. Kevin Domini. I will get one someday. When I say I am going to do something, I will. I like that kind of resolve. I like it. Yes, that was a cool name. Good day, my friends. You guys looked like you had a lot of fun. Awesome.
SPEAKER_01:That's great. Yeah, good to see you, Kevin. I've I've seen your comments on Facebook. Uh, and it's good to talk to you. If you have any questions, this is like the chat to do it, Kevin. So go for it. I think it's uh it might be time for a little poem here. Oh, all right.
SPEAKER_03:Well, this evening we're going to turn to the great William Butler Yates. Yates. Great Irish poet. Uh and his poem Lapis Lazarus. You know what lapis lazuli is? It's a stone. Yes. Yeah. It's a very blue stone, yes.
SPEAKER_01:Um, you want to know something funny? What? I only know that because there's a video game called Minecraft. Oh, yeah. That has Lapis Lazarus?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Minecraft is cool.
SPEAKER_03:Like I'm school. Yeah. Okay. Yes. I've heard that hysterical women say they are sick of the palate and the fiddlebow of poets that are always gay, where everybody knows or else should know, that if nothing drastic is done, Aeroplane and Zeppelin will come out, pitched like King Billy Bomb balls in until the town lie beaten flat. All perform their magic play. There Struts Hamlet, there is Lear, there's Ophelia, that Cordelia. If they, should the last scene be there, the great stage curtain about to drop, if worthy their prominent part in the play, do not break up their lines to weep. They know that Hamlet and Lear are gay, gaiety transfiguring all that dread all men have aimed at, found, and lost, blackout, heaven blazing into the head, tragedy wrought to its uttermost. Though Hamlet rambles and Lear rages, and all the drop scenes drop at once upon a hundred thousand stages, it cannot grow by an inch or an ounce. On their own feet they came, on shipboard, camel back, horseback, ass back, mule back, old civilizations put to the sword. Then they and their wisdom went to rack. No handiwork of Calamacus, who handled marble as if it were bronze, made draperies that seemed to rise when sea wind swept the corner stands. His long lamp chimney shaped like the stem of a slender palm, stood but a day. All things fall and are built again, and those that build them again are gay. Two Chinamen, behind them a third, are carved in lapis lazuli. Over them flies a long-legged bird, a symbol of longevity. The third, doubtless a serving man, carries a musical instrument. Every discoloration of the stone, every accidental crack or dent, seems a watercourse or an avalanche, or a lofty slope where it still snows, though deadless plum or cherry branch sweetens the little halfway house those Chinamen climb towards, and I delight to imagine them seated there, there on the mountain and the sky, on all the tragic scene they stare. One asks for mournful melodies, accomplished fingers begin to play, their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes, their ancient glittering eyes are gay.
SPEAKER_01:That one was a little over my head. If I'm being honest, it was a little over my head, but uh I liked it. It was nice to listen to. What a what a what uh can you give me a synopsis? Just listen to it.
SPEAKER_03:It's just a guy looking at a piece of carved stone, piece of rock, and kind of making up what he sees in it. Story and what he sees in it. That's interesting. It's a lot of extra stuff, possessed little possessions and airplanes.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, Hamlet. Happiness. John Harris says Indian motorcycle. Uh Indian motorcycle? This is just motorcycles. Do you like Indian motorcycles? What are your what are your thoughts about Indian motorcycles? Do you put is there a comment he's referencing? Do you have an Indian motorcycle? I was looking at chat and I didn't see anything referring to maybe he's saying, oh, Indian just released a classic chief. Yes, they did. And it looks really good. It's very good looking. Okay, I have to ask just if hysterical woman is an oxymoron. Hysterical woman is an oxymoron.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, it could be.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. I don't know what you're referencing to, uh, Janice McGrider, but maybe. 72 and sunny here. Again, Rancho Cukabanga. Like gotta love it. Gotta love it. What's Indian made uh by a snowmobile company? It was Olderis. Is that what you're referring to, old school?
SPEAKER_03:Yes. Indian made by a snowmobile company. It was it was until uh just today they announced their new CEO. Really? It was really cool. Um Mike Kennedy is the new CEO of Indian. Um, but yeah, they were um acquired by a um private equity company that's um pretty cool. Uh I've they really seem like they're putting you tip sometimes when you hear that kind of story, you're a little worried about the future. Yeah. Um, but they really seem like they're investing in the long-term success of Indian in a way that I think Indian has suffered by being built by a company that makes snowmobiles. Right. Right. And jet skis and all kinds of other stuff. Right. Side by sides. I mean, so I want a side-by-side book. But uh, yeah, that that that chief, what is it called? The chief classic classic. I mean, I think our finger skirts are a little bit like that.
SPEAKER_01:I think so too. I mean, are there pretty good? I don't know. Uh the poem, Jansen. Hello. I know you were referencing the poem, Janice McRyder, but in what uh in what way are you saying that women and hysterical are oxymorons? Not so true. Indian was bought out by Polaris, it was prior Kings Mountain Indian Basin. We got a lot of comments coming through that I'm glad you guys are all talking to each other. It's great. Uh, I feel like on a real note, that we've uh in and in an effort uh of y'all have really built a community here uh that kind of talk to each other and have a good time and chat. And I think it's really cool that sometimes we can just be yammering on and you guys are yammering on. It's absolutely going to a party and everyone's talking about different things. It's great. But uh I I think it might be time, Richard, for a fan favorite segment called Janus Featured Builds. Brought to us by Rich McLean. Thank you, Mitch, for these beautiful motorcycles that you are about to see up first. We've got Kirk. This is his Halcyon 450. It's number 419. Now, Richard, do you have a guess?
SPEAKER_03:Well, I see lots of cool things on this bike, some of them which we're gonna be talking about tonight. Um I see what you're referring to. Um black frames. I'm going to guess that this is going to be a um indie racing green.
SPEAKER_01:I was gonna say vintage red. Nice.
SPEAKER_03:Good choices, good choices.
SPEAKER_01:We got our oil tank.
SPEAKER_03:Take it back OD green. OD green. Okay. We got a nice shot from the back of a house hand without the rear suspension installed. Let's keep going. Oil cap. Rear transom.
SPEAKER_01:I want to kind of stall it through these here.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you're good.
SPEAKER_02:Verticals. Horizontal. Works. Shocks. Top plate. Look at that. Look at that. Rear shocks installed.
SPEAKER_03:Ooh, gold wrong. Cream. That's that is the uh color of 68. Although 68 does not have double pin stripe.
SPEAKER_01:No double pin. Are they both gold? They are both gold. That's very nice. So that looks real nice. Look at those hand form fenders. Good grief.
SPEAKER_03:Look at the you just see though the like the the paint, how it's on top of the powder kit.
SPEAKER_01:There's yeah, you can like see the ledge almost. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:So cool.
SPEAKER_01:Look at that one. Tapers.
SPEAKER_03:But there's like tiny imperfections.
SPEAKER_01:So good.
unknown:It's perfect.
SPEAKER_01:So good.
SPEAKER_03:There's your 450 engine. Palcyon logo. Airbox.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, whoa, what? Huh?
SPEAKER_03:I've never seen the rear rack framched. It's a very interesting choice. That is unique. It kind of blends in a little bit, I guess. So anyway, we've got a really nicely loaded up Halcyon 450, wheel pinstripe, fishtail exhausts, double pinstripe, headlight visor, sprung, sprung pilon seat, saddlebags, you know, and in um saddle brown leather. So well done. Um well done. Beautiful. That's a good-looking motorcycle.
SPEAKER_01:Number 419. 419, Kirk. Great job, man. Up next, we've got Christopher in his Halcyon 250 number 1256. Richard.
SPEAKER_03:Um, oh, you want me to grass the colour? I'm gonna go with uh I'm gonna go with black.
SPEAKER_01:Black. Black. I'm gonna go with um British Racing Grain. I don't feel very confident about that one. That one feels bad. This is a 250. Sprung pilon? Pillion? It's fun. Oh, oxblood. Oxblood ladder. There goes my go with any color. I don't know, not the British racing grain. I don't know. Depends on the pinstripe color, I think. Here we go. Oh, nice. Tie down's beautiful.
SPEAKER_03:Engine electrical panel been put in place. We're getting the full tour here. Yeah, for real.
SPEAKER_01:You got it. Oh wow. That was a shock. It looks great. I want to see the full thing. Just so I can gather it all. You feel? Got the carburetor in there. Singer pose, right? Single pin.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. That is a sweet.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, look at the look at the Japanese characters on the fender number pipe. Now that's the first. I've never seen that before. Those are also hand painted, so very fun. That's neat. That's neat. That's very unique. I like the green and the red really well together. Yeah. Now that I'm seeing it in context, it it looks good. Very cool.
SPEAKER_03:Alright, we got another. Holy cow.
SPEAKER_01:Zoom in on that paint. Hold on, I think I lost uh yeah. One second, please. Nope, not that. Up next. We've got slowly but surely. Ryan, this is his Halcyon 250. This is number 1258. I'm gonna go. Why did you go first on this one? I'm going to guess. Maze.
SPEAKER_03:Maze. Um I'm gonna go with Charlotte Blue.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. Two very unique colors. The the suspense is killing me.
SPEAKER_02:Oh that one.
SPEAKER_03:Nice. That's great. All right. Oh, that looks so we got we got a primary in vintage red with a cream second pinstripe. That looks very nice. Super good. Contrast. Look at that. Wow. I really I was like kind of going like just very wild on that color. Look at this looks bigger. Don't normally get those. No, we don't usually get that. And this is an old fashioned logo. The old, the old uh matches the primary pinstripe.
unknown:Oh, look at that cap.
SPEAKER_01:That looks really good.
SPEAKER_03:I like this one a lot. That's super sharp. Wheel pinstripe and cream to go with the second pinstripe. Uh-huh. Brush exhaust. Oof. Okay, and wait, hold on. We have a Charleville blue book rack.
SPEAKER_01:This is the second time we've seen something kind of scene.
SPEAKER_02:Go back to the big the album.
SPEAKER_03:Like, because there was a black one on it earlier. Is that just a placeholder, maybe? Must have been a placeholder. That's funny. That is funny. All right. Well, there you go. Good job, Ryan. Like it. Great. They're still exhaust.
SPEAKER_01:Ooh, highlights. Highlights. Are those are cream, yeah? It's our cream, yeah. That's a great looking bike. That's the last picture here. That has been Janice's featured builds. Thank you, Mitch, for sending those over. Those are some of Mitch's favorite builds that have been coming to the shop lately. And I agree. All of them have been muddy. Yeah. So good. Um, let's hit to the comments here, real quick. Aiken Ranch says color choice, great color choices today. Yeah. Yeah, they are. They're very good. Very nice highlight. We've got uh Bill Maxie here in Tallahassee, Florida. Hey Bill. Oh, so Bill Maxie is doig.

Mashed potatoes and a bowl of ice cream. Oh my god. 74 years old. Happy birthday. Many years to you, my friend. Happy birthday. That's awesome. Um, Jeff Kell likes the highlights. Um Keith Haywood's on. Happy birthday.
SPEAKER_01:Oh my gosh. Hey, hey, confettian, can you snipe that guy? And uh the Twitch chat, please. Thank you. Jeff Kell says, Happy birthday. And Bean Station is coughing a witty monkey again. I don't I don't know what that means. I don't either. Woody uh what else we got going on here? We got lots of comments. Yeah, tons of comments. Jansen, any racing green pinstripe on a Brit racing green, that would be crazy. Uh, I don't think you'd be able to tell any difference on those. Do you think you could? That'd be wild. You would be able to help it. I mean, I've seen green on green, but it's it's like black. Yeah, but you'd be able to see it's there, but I don't know about the difference in color. Barely. Mark Gallista?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Hello? Hello again. Hey, Mark. Welcome. I recognize that name. How are you doing, Mark? Um, lots of people liking the colors of the bikes.
SPEAKER_01:Ah, the smell of a new bike says old school. I ain't that the truth. What is what is the what does a new bike smell like to you, old school? I'm curious to get your thoughts. Sure. All right. What uh do we want to do announcements now or do we want to do a thing? Um let's do let's let's do a thing. Let's do a thing. You want to do announcements after that? Let's do announcements after that. Okay.
SPEAKER_03:Um, this evening, I figured we'd uh do a little tour of some JNS motorcycles. You may have in the featured builds seen one of these. There was an Easter egg in the Easter egg. Um no, uh we have I don't know if we've actually really talked about these, but we have uh new foot pegs. And I'm gonna show you the new foot pegs in some of those pictures. So we have our camera ready. Right. Check this out. We got it to work. Um if I can actually line it up. But this is the new, really hard to figure out which way I'm going. Um this way. There it is. There it is. So these are new 450 foot pegs. We may eventually get to the point where we offer this on all the bikes, but right now they're only available on the 450. Um, these are actually passenger pegs, so that's why they let me move my mic here real quick. Use both hands.
SPEAKER_02:Um, this is hard.
SPEAKER_03:Um, they fold up and they have this wonderful detent that goes. Listen to this.
SPEAKER_01:Ooh, I don't know if you guys heard that. I don't hear that here. I'm gonna do it for the mic. Do it for the mic.
SPEAKER_03:Ooh, that's not that's good. Um that that that's what that's how you fold your pegs up. But anyway, these are uh beautiful foot pegs. These are actually manufactured. I think I can say this online. Uh, this is actually uh the people that make these are they're a supplier for Harley Davidson. Um so um we knew that they came with good hot quality um standards, but they had this lovely little round roundal spot on the side. And we said, hey, can you put a Janus logo in that? Actually, Neil did because Neil liked to put Janus logos on everything. Everywhere. And lo and behold, they can. So that's actually a laser-engraved Janice logo. But the top of the peg, so if you look at the end, they are round foot pegs. If I can line it up, sorry. What but they have the top flattened, and then there's a bolt that goes all the way through, and then there's this rubber top piece, which they actually grip really well. I've used these, I'm a big fan. They're really grippy, and that rubber is not held on by like glue or anything, it's actually held on by the bolt that goes through the middle, so it will not come off. That's awesome. Um extremely high quality. They bolt together. You have this lovely little clevis down here at the bottom. That is the the actual peg itself, this part up here, man of the hour, is um is there's Scott. Scott, so Scott helped us to uh source these. And Scott says they are forged aluminum. So there you go. Any uh Scott, share any other details on these. We'll highlight them in the chat, Scott. But we've been working on with a really great supplier for these um for months now. And these have these have actually been in production on production assembly bikes for a little bit now. But um, this is just one of the many, many projects that Scott has been working on with us over the last year, over a year now. So very, very excited. Um, these are something that you would also um be able, you know, to maintain over a long period of time because they come apart, you can service them, and they're heavy duty.
SPEAKER_01:So now, are these something? So those are passenger pegs, but the the rider pegs, we also have rider pegs for them.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I mean, I I should say that that that they're interchangeable. This one has the detent, which allows it to fold up and lock up. Now your rider pegs, they're able to fold up, but they don't lock up, they just fold up to so if you go corner really, really hard, they'll fold up out of the way for you. Um, but uh yes, these are of course available as the rider peg and then and the passenger peg.
SPEAKER_01:And then would these fit, say a customer has a 450 already, would uh would these fit on an older 450 or would they have I believe they do. I believe they do. And now my third question is available for sale on Janus Motorcycles.com.
SPEAKER_03:Um, that is actually a great question. And I think that you just give us a call. Yeah. If they're not listed on the site, um we're working on listing all the uh these various pieces that as an aftermarket right add-on as well.
SPEAKER_01:We are not doing a giveaway of any pegs.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we're not doing a we're not doing a peg giveaway. That's a great idea, then yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So uh cool. If you want some of these for your uh 450 only, your house young 450, right? Because the Griffin 450 comes with uh another another type of rider peg, is that correct? The what was that?
SPEAKER_03:The griffin 450 completely different. The griffin 450 comes with uh uh steel serrated pegs that are for off clearing mud and they're they're more an off-road peg.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Uh price, Chris asks. Um do we know?
SPEAKER_03:Retail price, I don't have off the top of my head.
SPEAKER_01:But if you have any questions, yeah, give us a call. Give us an email. Yep, we can uh we can get all that sorted for you. Yeah. Now I know this is everyone's favorite segment because it's my favorite segment. What do we got going on, Richard, around here? What's uh what are what are some events that we've got uh well we just finished one. Wait, do we want to talk? Let's talk about that now.
SPEAKER_03:You want to just talk about that? Well, let's talk about that first. So this weekend we had we we mentioned we went to Winter Moto Camp, which was up in the well-known, famous China Township of Michigan. I had never heard of China, Michigan. Practically Canada, as far as I'm sorry. Yeah, actually, my cell phone bill thought I was in Canada. Um no, we went up to uh northeast of Detroit, about I don't know, 45 minutes. Yeah, and uh we're invited up there by Hunter of Moto Michigan, which is an amazing Michigan. Is it's on the in Ferndale, Michigan. It's a motorcycle playground of he has conference rooms, he has a music venue, he has a coffee roasting place, he has a movie theater, an art, art gallery, uh bar, machine shop, fabrication space. Anything that you can literally just continues to go on and on and on. He's been re-rebuilt, rehabilitating this old aerospace engineering um company. And he puts on summer moto camp. And in over the last five years, they've been doing winter moto, which is just it's his, it's his dad's farm and barn. And they camp out. We all camp out behind it and rip around in the snow and camp and eat and cook, hang out by the fire, ride motorcycles, ride, and it's a lot of fun. It's very cool.
SPEAKER_01:But this is a uh this first picture here. Uh, so in the barn, uh Hunter's dad is like an avid slot car rake racer.
SPEAKER_03:Is that uh slot car enthusiasts? Connus has his own YouTube channel on slot car team racing. Do we have do we have that off the off the top of your head? He can't remember what it's called. Okay. He talked, but he they do like slot car builds.
SPEAKER_01:So like very, very serious, uh very into slot cars. So he has these two tracks. So that's what this is. Uh he has like four tracks. Sorry, he had two tracks that were up. Yeah. Uh, and this is one of them. Uh, this we'll just go through a couple of pictures here. It was very cold. It was pretty cold. Um it was a lot of fun.
SPEAKER_03:Look at you there. Tell me a little bit about this bike. Yeah, this is uh Neil, Neil Carlson, our uh lead designer, decided he who was watching this video on these Finnish guys that put skis on their motorcycles on their, I think on Himalayan's in rail infields. He's like, Well, I'm gonna try this. And basically, you just have these two snowmobile skis uh on hinges mounted to the side of the bike, and then they they he has bungee cords that kind of that actually pull them up slightly, but they have foot pegs on top of them. So when you want to, you just step on the pegs and like push the skis down, and it balances you, and they can only come up a certain amount. So like if you do like really wipe out, it it won't let you fully fall over, but you can still like lean a little bit. Uh-huh. And it's a ton of fun off road, like out in the snow, like ripping around. But probably more importantly, if you if you're on an ice-covered road, you can be in like fifth gear without snow studs, ripping, and you're just perfectly fine. So it's actually amazing. I was blown away by it. Or you can flip it like I did. Seems seems dumb. Actually, it's it's not dumb at all. It's you can literally take a motorcycle and turn without putting studded tires on it. I mean, if you put studded tires on it, it makes it even better. Right. And just you won't wipe out.
SPEAKER_01:Well, there was right on on ice. There was incredible. There was how much snow do you think was out there? It had to have been at least eight. Maybe more inches. Maybe a little more inches. Um, so a lot of the bikes were just like getting, you know, bogged down. You know, your back tires just ripping into the snow. Um, and that seemed to help. There was one guy who I don't know, I wish it would have got his name. He was tearing it on the orange bike. Yes. We've got a pic, we've got a picture of him here soon. Yeah, he was making me look like I didn't know what I was doing. So this is more artistic. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Or that was that uh um Boltaco, I think.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah. Okay. This picture that's pretty cool. So we snow is spinning. Well, we did a partnership with Rivian. Uh, they gave us a truck for the weekend, um, and we decided to strap a Griffin 450 in the back of this thing and tear it up. So there's Richard just sending it. That was a lot of fun. Drinking some uh yummy. Loading a bike. They had uh a tube on the back of a Jeep. That looked like a lot of fun. Insane. Good way to knock your breath out. Yeah, for real. There's Mitch.
SPEAKER_03:Mitch smoking a cigar.
SPEAKER_01:Focus mode. Focus mode. This guy. This guy. This guy. He was ripping was was going nuts the whole time. It was super cool to watch. But yeah, that was a super fun weekend. Um, we'll have a lot more stuff to share from that. Yeah, big time. I'm we're looking forward to it. Yeah, it's gonna be great. So it was a great weekend, it's a lot of fun. So we had that, and then uh on February 14th, there is uh our first annual motorcycle show called Ride or Die Um at Journeyman. Journeyman Distillery, yeah. In Valparaiso. Um tickets are for sale. You guys are all invited if you'd like to come. Bring your significant other for a nice little Valentine's Day dinner and a motorcycle show. Come on. Perfect. What what what more could you need? Um, I think I have a link here if you guys want to come. I'll post that in the chat. Please do.
SPEAKER_03:It's gonna be really fun. We've got a bunch of builders coming. It really is gonna be a lot of fun. We might even do a live. We we are. We are we're gonna do a live ramble stream. I've decided.
SPEAKER_01:But and it might be an abbreviated version or yeah, we don't have to do the whole thing. Just a hangout and maybe showcase some of the builds. Yeah. Um, yeah, you guys should be there. Uh, we'll be there. Our my wife will be there. I think Richard's wife will be there, and they might make an appearance for Valentine's Day. Who knows? Yeah, I'll bring Jansen Crocs as my date. Um, my my Crocs are are busy. Just committed. That's good. They're they're already committed. Uh, that's gonna be a really fun, uh, really fun day. So looking forward to that. And then last but not least, we have our WeFunder. Do you have any updates there? We just broke a 400k.
SPEAKER_03:Woo! So uh thanks to the I think there's some people in the chat that helped with that recent push. Um, and we're gonna be having a lot more content coming out on that. I know I keep saying that, but there's even more coming. Um so stay tuned. Uh, we're excited. Our goal with the WeFunder campaign is to be wrapping that up by the end of March. So we want to finish out our$1 million by that point. So we're putting a lot of effort and energy into that. Um, if the best thing right now that you all can do is um follow us on WeFunder. So if you are a Janus investor on WeFunder, get on the platform, make sure that you're actually following Janus Motorcycles, and then share something about your investment um with other people. Like say, hey, this is something I'm doing, because that will help us to get in front of more people. Yeah. And we would really appreciate that. Yeah. Um there's that. And if also if you're not an investor on the platform, you can still share and you can follow us and you can share that story with other people if that in case other people are interested. So um, we really appreciate all of y'all. Yeah. And we're excited about it.
SPEAKER_01:Kelly says, I'm still waiting for my patch. Do you want to update them on that? Um, what's he waiting on the patch for? Uh is is he waiting on his patch from the WeFunder? Oh. Um, is that one of the perks or is this something different?
SPEAKER_03:I'm not sure. I think yes, the patch is uh it is something with WeFunder. So yeah, the I think we're working on getting all the stuff shipped out. I'm not sure what the exact timeline is, but that is something we can look into.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, we'll look into that. Um, let's see. Received, received it. Uh Tom said our he received an email from We Funder today that the funds are being transferred to Jan. We made the first disbursement is coming out.
SPEAKER_03:Um, I think as of like today, it hasn't, I don't think it's hit us yet, but it's a long process, very carefully protected as it should be. And so yeah, we're first disbursements out. When will the WeFunder close? We funder, our goal is as like I just said, is I I believe it's end of March. We're trying to wrap that up. So we want to we're we're pushing hard to um continue the fundraising.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. So that's all the announcements we have. Thank you guys for uh uh, you know, constantly um just checking into the things that we're doing uh beyond the stream and beyond uh the the motorcycles. Um uh again, I've talked about the community a little bit, but uh this weekend has really um I knew that motorcycling was was was for like was better with people, right? Um riding bikes is better with people, but uh this weekend was uh it kind of opened my eyes and further to just how much community does matter when you're doing anything. Um and it made this weekend uh a much better experience meeting two new people and um you know just hearing different stories. So uh thank you all. That was a long-winded way to say thank you uh for your constant support.
SPEAKER_03:I would just say that that isn't like the winter motor camp and like when you're talking about community and people. That's how I got into motorcycles. So why I got in is rallies like that with especially small ones. Yeah. Well, that's the whole fun of it.
SPEAKER_01:You had made a comment. Well, be brief here, but you had made a comment about like how there's a point of diminishing returns with other people where if it gets too big, you end up just hanging out with the people that you came with. But if it's small enough, like you start kind of intermingling and meeting.
SPEAKER_03:Everyone and you meet more people in that than you would have than you would than you could in a year. It's incredible. Yeah, I find that that number is between 10 and 50 people, 10 and 35. I don't know. Somewhere in that number, you get a really good uh ability to hang out with people. Yeah. Yeah. So super cool.
SPEAKER_01:But on to the ramble, Richard. What do we think about how habits influence routines? Yeah, last week we talked about habits and what they were. I thought last week's conversation was really productive. I thought it was enjoyed that. Um, I would love to hear uh y'all's feedback on on that, leave a comment. Um but today we're gonna be talking about how those habits kind of inform our routines and how our routines inform our habits. And uh we're we're I I guess uh to follow our to to follow our uh our our guide. What what is yes, that's right, what is what is a routine? What is a routine?
SPEAKER_03:So a routine well first let's let's go back and say last week we talked about habits. What is a habit as far as your what what was the consensus?
SPEAKER_01:My my consensus was uh it's something that you do repeatedly, whether it's uh conscious or subconscious that informs. Well, I think we agreed that it was subconscious. Oh, right. Yeah, I'm still holding you're still holding on to it. But uh it it in the end it it it kind of is just identity, like at the root of your character, right?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. And so what is a routine? Well, um typically when we think about routines, we think about something that's repeated as well. It's something that we come back to, it's something that we do regularly. Um obviously, like one of the you think of a routine, you think the first thing that comes to my mind is like the routine of the day. So you wake up, right, you eat breakfast. Or you don't eat breakfast. Not a breakfast. Yeah. Yeah. You walk to work, you ride a bike to work, you drive your car to work, whatever you do, you go to work, right? Then you Have lunch. There's this there's like there's a cadence. There's a cadence and there's a thing that every time at this time of the day, typically I'm doing this. Right. And then you gotta get home, you do your whatever you do is your part of your routine, and then you gotta sleep and you you know.
SPEAKER_01:Which so there's a nighttime routine.
SPEAKER_03:So I mean, like they're interspersed throughout. Maybe a good start jumping off point for this conversation is what is the difference between a habit and a routine? And maybe that takes a little bit of revisiting the habit thing question. Like we talked about habit and then like yeah, yeah. Or do you want to just dive right in?
SPEAKER_01:I I think we should just dive right in.
SPEAKER_03:I think we should just talk about routines here. Um so one of the things that we I do think we need to just touch on was about habit, is that a habit is an internal kind of process that's that is uh that does deal with your character. Where and I think the arc the argument that I was kind of starting to get to is that a routine is more of a external That's an interesting way to view it.
SPEAKER_01:Habits are internal. Routines are an external to sound wooey, an external manifestation of your habits.
SPEAKER_03:Well, no, I don't think it's uh I mean a habit I think is a different than a routine. Yeah. We've got to figure out like the question is like, what is that difference?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but I think habits influence our routines.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, yeah, we can or or vice versa. We that's what we'll we'll get there, I think. But I'm just but like it's not just a manifestation of something. I think it's uh that's fair, it's like its own thing. Right. So habit, we looked at the meaning of the word. It's always like maybe it's cheating, but like the meaning of the word habit is that it has something to do with your habitus, your character. Yeah. So the meaning of routine is that it is a well, I mean, it's in the word. What can you take a guess what routine comes from? Root?
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yes. But the interesting thing about the word is that it's actually um it's a way made passable by repetition. So it's like a um, it's like a path that's been um it's worn. Worn into the countryside or like through the bracken.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Well, and I know what I mean. I think of like uh uh, you know, like mountain goats have like very like rutted paths paths up mountains, and you can't really it's hard, you can, it's really hard to get up up that little rut.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, to get out of the rut.
SPEAKER_01:To get up and out of it, that's an interesting point. It's so it's so slanted on either side that it's like I just keep falling back into this. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But that's I think that isn't that interesting history that that's where that comes from. Is that it's interesting. Obviously, you hear it, you see the word root in there. Right. And you think pass. Right. Well, it's a path of life. It is. I think it is, but it's a but it's a path that's been made made by just doing it over and over and over again.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. That's that's where it gets interesting. That's the I think that's the key in it, is it's it's not necessarily routine unless it's repeated.
SPEAKER_03:Right. So yeah. That's I think that's just that's something that was worth pausing there for a minute. Um the difference between that and say as a habit is that at least I don't think maybe it sounds like Jansen doesn't agree with me, but my argument wrong um last week was that a habit is something that it um it is internal and it is something that it's just something you do. And if you do something enough, it becomes a habit, and then it that habit becomes who you are. Yeah. And I think that if you want to if you want to contrast that with a routine, a routine is something that you were saying, like a habit is like you that has some intention to it, right? I think a routine, you can have intention. Right. You plan out a routine, right? You say, okay, this is something that I want to do, or this is something that I do over and over again, like eating breakfast or cooking a meal or hanging out with friends or whatever it is, waking up. Right. Like, I'm gonna do this at a specific time, maybe.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Or this is how I like to do this, or I like to have a little bit of blueberries with my, you know, right, with my oatmeal, because that's just that's what I've always done.
SPEAKER_01:That's what I like, right? Uh yeah, yeah. No, I I can see now how um I think having the little very literal definitions of both a habit and a routine, uh uh they're they're so closely connected, I feel, and yet so different because I feel like your habits can influence your routines and your routines can influence your habits. Well, I think we keep talking about that next week. It can go, it can go both ways. Yeah, next week we're talking about how your routines can transform you, um, and how uh like we have autonomy to to choose, but that's that's next week. Uh but I I'm trying to think of like what routines am I in, like on a on a on a regular basis, on a daily basis. And I think the the easiest one is like your your day. Yeah, that's the most obvious, right? Like what what what do you do during your day? And I I think it's really interesting uh that routines can both be long and short. You can have a bunch of little routines within a big routine, like Scott Ferguson says here, uh, pre-ride routines are important. And like that is a short routine within a long routine. So that is actually a really good T clocks.
SPEAKER_03:Point everybody. Well, T clocks would be a great example of a pre-ride, pre-flight inspection. Yeah. But let's get back to that path that's well worn. There's two ways to look at it. One is the way that you brought up, Jason, which is that it's hard to get out of the rut, right? The other way of looking at it is if there's a mountain in front of you and there's like no path, you have to figure that out to climb that mountain. Yeah. Or if there's a wood forest or whatever, you have to bushwhack through that. You have to clear it out to like navigate where you want to go. Now, if you take time, or let's say over a period of time you develop a way of getting through that up that mountain or through that bracket, you beat a path, you've created a routine. That's literally what another way of looking in. So you you don't have to, every time you go through that thing, that process, reinvent it. There's no like additional effort necessary. Right. Yeah. You say, I'm going to go do this thing. This is how I do it. I'm going to follow this path. And that in that and so in that way, it makes it easier to do a let's just say like climbing a mountain or going through a forest. These are two difficult challenges that let's say we have to do them for whatever reason. That's what the routine is. Is it's practice. Yeah. It's repetition.
SPEAKER_01:Ooh, routine is practice. What happens, Richard, then when you are uh told that your routine isn't right? Oh, there's a faster way up this mountain. Well, then you can chose to change your routine. Now, what is what is your propensity to change your routine? Oh, I think we have to be very open to that. We have to be open, but uh, I often find my I'm I'm trying to lead you into something. I'm being a contrarian. I find myself, um, well, yes, uh, I I want to be open to changing my routine if I know that there's a better way. It's so much harder, I think. Uh well, that's because you got a beaten path. Right. Yeah. So I there's this weird uh like juxtaposition here. It's like you can do it. Yeah, but but is that the right question to ask though? Like what what would be the correct question?
SPEAKER_03:Well, I mean just at a very base level, but before we talk about changing the routine, let's talk about just following them. Yeah. And Scott brought up like a pre-ride inspection is a form of routine. What that allows you to do is I'm a person who's never ridden a motorcycle before, right? Let's just say I'm confronted with this machine. It's like shiny, it has all these parts on it. When I push this button, it makes a lot of noise. I twist this thing over here, it does this, and I push this other lever down and it does that. Like there's a lot going on. But guess how you master that machine? You do it over and over. Somebody shows you a routine that like you get on it, a dance on this side when you start off, and then you first thing you do is you don't twist this thing and push this thing, right? You put your hand on the brake, you pull the clutch, swing your leg over. Right. There's a sequence, right? There's a routine, literally routine. And so this the that's a very basic. You learn how to ride a bike. You start, and then there's a routine to cornering, and then if you're a racer, there's a routine to like where you start braking, and all these different things. And then, and then if you're a regular rider, there's a routine for how do you make sure that every time you ride a bike, you're being as safe as you can. So, like T clocks inspection, all that kind of stuff. These are things that are so then there's the thing about like, yeah, bringing up back to your point, how do you change your routine? And I mean, I think that that that's it's challenging because it's like you yeah, you have worn uh you've worn a deep path and you've formed habits, you've your character has formed around that routine. And I think that that's something that's interesting to say is yes, your character is tied to your routine, right? But by changing what you do, you change repeatedly, you can change how you do it and who you are in a lot of ways. Right. So that's how you can become a better writer. Um, it's how you can try new things, you can make these small improvements. Yeah. It's like playing practicing piano. Right. Like, and then if you're not good at that thing, then you have to like say, okay, hold on. I'm really I'm good at this stuff, but I'm not good at this. How do I focus on changing the way that I'm doing this so that I get better at it?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Do you something I'm doing is not right.
SPEAKER_01:Do you have any suggestions then when you are in a routine and you're like, oh, there's room for improvement here? How how how would you suggest to uh make make small improvements so that it's not like because I often feel like when you're stuck in a routine, you're stuck in this this this path, right? And uh going back. You you want to change, but you keep on getting stuck back in into the the worn go path. How would you how would you suggest kind of I don't know, off the path?
SPEAKER_03:I'm not sure I can answer that. I mean, I I think you have to come up with a new routine. Well, well, I'm that where I'm where I'm going with this is that I I just would focus right now on the setting of a routine. Yeah. I think a lot of the time we don't have, we don't know what our routines are. Yeah. We'll like we'll do things. And so typically what I think we all understand, everybody understands, is that things gradually have a tendency to disorder. Right? Right. Very very quickly. And what a routine does is it it it brings order to life. Yeah. So if you can I I guess I'm not focusing so much on changing the routine as I am on just having the routine first. Like that's the to me, that's even harder than changing the routine, because changing the routine is just part of the routine. Really?
SPEAKER_01:I I don't think that's a common, I don't think that's a common thought that changing the routine is I mean, maybe maybe that's not. I'm just not sure it's important. I think it's very important. Yeah. But it's besides the point a little bit. I I I agree. I I'm thinking about like when I when I ride through a red light, I have routine. Or when I ride through a red light, when I ride through a green light, I look for cars, I look for cops and say, good luck. No, when I ride through a green light, I have routine. I let off the throttle, I look both ways. Yep, my hands cover clutch and break, and I'm looking and looking, and I go. Like every time, where the lights are good situation like this. Yeah, but but I'm uh I as I'm thinking about it, uh when I started riding, it wasn't that. But over time I slowly picked up this habit and then this habit, and then this habit, and then this habit, and then they've combined to to being that routine. You're never a master, you never master a horse you've you've just broken. You you never master a horse you've just broken. I'm not sure what that means. Uh I I I think he's referring to like when when you train a horse to be ridden.
SPEAKER_03:Like how does how does ritual fit into this discussion? Um I think that that gets significantly past the conversation.
SPEAKER_01:I don't think they seem the same to me, to be honest. You think they do, or they don't? I don't think I know like ritual and routine feel similar. Yeah, I think they are very similar, like almost almost the same.
SPEAKER_03:But but I think that typically when we think of ritual, we are invoking higher powers.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, it's a routine with higher powers, is a ritual.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, I'm not saying that's what it is. I'm saying that typically a ritual, the way we use that word, we're talking about more transcendent metaphysical powers.
SPEAKER_01:I could get behind it. Um I bet most people have a routine on how they get dressed every day. Absolutely. Well negative Kelly says one negative.
SPEAKER_03:I do think that the the part of a routine is the fact that you're naming it and you're describing it, you're not just doing it. Like, like a habit is something you just do, right? That's what we said last week. A habit is just something you do, and it can be good, it can be really bad. A routine is like a rule that you try and follow. There's an attempt made. There's an intention, it's not innate. It is a desire. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's not innate, it's not subconscious. It's it's not a if it was subconscious, subconscious is that like how I want to use that. Like, if it wasn't intentional, it wouldn't be a routine. Yeah. Like it's a rule you're following. At what point we're out of time. You're trying to bring order to something.
SPEAKER_01:We're at a time. And I think that's human, the human condition is to bring order. But at what point do your routines become habit? Because I think there is a point where you can turn your brain off a little bit because kind of like we were talking, it's like there's no additional. You're getting rid of yourself. Is that is that next week?
SPEAKER_03:No, no, no. No, that's great. No, that's great. That's perfect. That's exactly where we're going with things. I think that that routine is the framework we set up to form habits. Yeah. And in turn. And then the next question is why would we do that? Right. Why and why are we talking about this on a motorcycle company broadcast?
SPEAKER_01:Because it's fun. Um, no, I I I I think that's really good. So if we had to land on a routine, a routine is something that takes intention and it takes repetition.
SPEAKER_03:It's an external kind of rule that we try to um yeah, it's like a schedule. It's a r it's a thing that we do repeatedly, yeah, over and over again. It's a sequence that we that we that we ask that we aspire to. Yeah. And sometimes we don't necessarily fit it, but it does, I think that the important thing, like what it what is it and how does it fit? The how does it fit part of the routine is it allows us to do the things that we for whatever reason, which we can talk about later, enjoy. So let's say it's fly fishing, air, sailing, or motorcycling, or walking, or driving, or race car driving, or writing a novel, or whatever painting a picture, listening to music, whatever it is, these things that we enjoy doing. When you first encounter those things, you have no idea how to even put one foot in front of the other. Yeah, you're so focused on the individual tasks that it's or just the overall confusion that you're in kind of or like living a day in life. Like imagine you're you're a baby and encountering a day in your life. Crazy. Like they have no routine, it's insane. They don't know how, so they're just like completely that's how we would be without routines. Yeah. Everything would be new all the time. And so a routine means that you're able to repeat something the next time you go to it, you go, Oh, this is how I do this. I put this foot first, this foot, and then I do this adding, and then you keep adding on to that. And and then, like, like a parent, you know, you remember we like I don't know if you've done this with your boys yet, where you like give them a task and then they can do it, and they you know, they get good at doing a task. And then you say, Okay, now go to the kitchen, get a glass of water, and remember to close the uh and like that's a really big jump.
SPEAKER_01:We just we just had JR, my my oldest, he's three, he's almost four, takes things to the trash all day. He cleans up after himself during dinner all day. Like one thing. The second that we ask him, hey JR, can you put like can you clean up your dinner? Yep, go put the food that's on your that's left over on your plate, put in the trash, and then put your plate into the sink. It's like all hell breaks loose.
SPEAKER_03:He's like, What do I even do anymore? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's like a the human being encountering a routine. Yeah. And so it just allows us to pursue all these things. And and I think like when it comes to like owning a gun and and like maintaining that, you know, like cleaning it afterwards. That's my favorite part. Unless it's a clock, then you don't have to. Then you don't have to. But like, or or or or or you're like the one I love is like night sharpening things, yes, axes, knives, whatever. Like there's like a way you do it, and there's debates on the best way to do it. Like, there is no one routine for sharpening, right? So you have to really know about it. Right. Fly tying. There's like if you've ever tied a fly, like there's there each one has a very particular recipe, and you have to do it exactly this way, or it doesn't work. And any kind of pursuit like that, invariably there's a routine. And and and in the fact that the the more complex, like if you're a pilot, let's say you have some very complex routines, very strict routines as well. But they also do those routines permit excellence.
SPEAKER_01:And excellence allows you to enter into the flow state.
