Elspeth Beard has become a household name in the motorcycle world, but it hasn’t always been that way. Back in 1982 she headed off on her around the world motorcycle journey, returning home years later and resuming her life in England as an architect and then a mother. It wasn’t until 2017, when her book came out, that the world would come to know Elspeth for her motorcycle journey. We were…

Dipping into the archives for another one of our favorites, and this is a big one. Back in 2018 we got to sit down with the legendary Wayne Rainey. Wayne is a legend in motorcycling (no really, the AMA awarded him that title) with 3 world championships under his belt. He also happens to be the president of the MotoAmerica racing series, despite the fact that he had a career ending crash in 93 that…

Last years winner, Alan Smith, reached 180…

Time to dip into the archives for another favorite past episode. Yuri Barrigan made his mark on the racing world when he set off to the Isle of Man Manx race with his two 400cc supermotos. Known as the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, you need balls of steel to even attempt it. And to do it on a supermoto? Titanium. And thanks to Yuri, supermotos are now banned at the Isle of Man. Yuri…
