Popp Over America – Episode 1 – Preparing for the Tour
So, I am finally getting going on the episodes after about 6 months of being back from the Popp Over America tour. I think I needed the time to collect my thoughts. I am going to try and keep the episodes around 8 to 9 minutes long.
In this episode I talk about leaving New York City and arriving in Florida via airplane to pick up my Honda VFR800.
Popp Over America – Pilot Episode – New Jersey
The pilot episode of Popp Over America has been completed! I am now seeking producers, sponsors, gigs, and places to sleep. If you can help out on any way please let me know.
