Segments

"5 minute motorcycle" is the most popular segment on the show and features a short (average of 7 minutes) video or series of pictures of one custom built motorcycle per segment. The pictures or video often chronicle the entire build of a bike from frame to first ride and the two hosts comment on the bike. The hosts claim that this is their favorite segment because they "love looking at all the cool stuff people are doing out there".

"Kwipmund Shed" is a video segment hosted only by Scooter Trash that is a how to guide to various repairs or preventative maintenance often filmed in the garage of long time friend of Trash's, Lil Jon.

Kwipmund shed is the most popular segment with the viewing audience.

"Magstapiece Theater" features an opening segment that is a parody of the opening credits to "Masterpiece Theater" and is a critique by the two hosts of biker magazine articles and writers, or sometimes products advertised in magazines or other publications.

"Spring Tune-up" is a short segment about preventative maintenance, and preparing the motorcycle after it sat for a long time without running. This segment was seen more often in the spring, but remains a fan favorite.
