<description>&lt;p&gt;Film-maker Indy Saini joins us to tell us all about her film Women In The Front Seat, which is about a diverse group of women motorcyclists.  They're all different, their bikes are different, their styles of riding are different- but they share the common bond of going places on two wheels.

It's raining men in Misty's world!  Sometimes a Moon Pie is just a Moon Pie.  Do you need a pit-crew to answer Tim's trivia question?

We learn about funding, filming and finding people to be in a documentary, as well as what traits the subjects of this film have in common. Our guest explains why her motorcycle is right for her and Misty's long history on motorized two wheel transport. Ben explains what the best riding position is and how it can help Mickey's back issues if he ever learns to ride, while Tim discloses his history of riding poorly. The gang discusses some of the best riding roads in Europe and the southeast US, as well as what to avoid on your journey.
