Episode notes
Professor Charles Falco is an expert on the magnetic and optical properties of thin film materials. He owns probably more than 15 bikes and at one point was part of the curating team for the Guggenheim Museum's exhibition of art and science of motorcycles. When he was eight years old, somebody gave a ride across Des Moines, Iowa on the back of a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle. The reason why I know that is that Triumph Thunderbird was actually the motorcycle that Marlon Brando had in the wild one.
