In this special Shop Talk episode, Leonard Duncan sits down with his father Danny Duncan for a cross-generational conversation about ATV building through the decades. From self-taught engine work in the 1980s and 1990s to modern fuel-injected race machines, they compare what changed, what improved, and what old-school methods still hold up today.

The two talk about learning without the internet, carburetors vs EFI, the machines they miss most, and the passion for building that never changed. This episode is less about technical specs and more about stories, memories, and the garage culture that helped shape ATV racing.
