Spring is finally here and riders are getting out on the roads, trails and tracks. But, while two wheels set us free, the gears continue to turn in the minds of many motorcyclists. Thoughts of reviving an old tired bike back to its glorious self creep into our thoughts. But, before you head off to Craigslist in search of the ultimate project bike, you really should take a moment to listen to the pros and cons of such an undertaking.

Join Chris, Daniel and Will as we discuss the benefits of owning a project bike and the pitfalls you will face during the course of the build, as well as the current -- and often overlooked -- availability of parts for some bikes.

Of course, we will also be discussing the third round of MotoGP, held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
