Great podcast, yall asked excellent probing questions. I do find his comments interesting, per their own numbers, this is by far the least viewed year in a long time. Sure the social media is growing in terms of followers but the engagement rations are down as well. Attendance in person is a little lower than last year as well. Think that will change once Ohio is posted but who knows.

MotoAmerica already has a rider who can go to Europe and win world championships. Her name is Kayla. Maybe she has her sights set higher than a women’s world championship, but she has the potential to take a world title if she wants it. A world champ is a world champ, and it would be cool to have her name added to the list of American world champs.
@Mechashiva763 күн бұрын
definitely, but if you recall from her interview on pipe dreams, she has no interest in racing in a women's championship. amongst other things, she said she wants to race where the fastest racers are. I think she does have her sights set on the world platform, but deep down, my hopes are that motoamerica is able to ascend to what it once was and considered its own "world level" championship (Other than phillip island, it probably covers a larger area than WSBK :P ). I'd like to see her be able to do what Ben Spies did in the AMA :) even if she makes it to WSBK, based on Bautista's weight punishment, Kayla would have to carry close to 20lbs to meet the minimum rider/bike weight. That is totally not fair. I understand minimum bike weights, but punishing the rider for their "talent" is stupid. So, unless they change the rules, I really have no desire to see Kayla race in WSBK.

It’s sad that Pitt won’t come back. It’s not a round that I can attend from my locale, but the energy was palpable thru the screen. The track was visually exciting to watch, too. Pitt was a payoff for subscribers, even if the attendance capacity is limited. I think it would be cool to do a middle distance endurance race at COTA, similar to the 200, but with Superbikes. Not in September. During the preseason if it can be done without overshadowing the 200.

I was brainstorming and was wondering if a supermoto class with the 450 motocross bikes would be possible. might bring over more of the supercross fans. tracks like road america would probably need some kinks on the straights, but those 450's would finally have a platform where they need all that power lol. Mid Ohio would be a really good candidate for that because it already has the shortcut that halves the back straight. for superbike/supersport, a fly away round to anywhere in europe would be amazing too. would be great exposure for the talent currently in the series. BSB went to Assen a couple times, but I know it would be really tough for American teams to make that trip :( I do think this season is the best season so far for Moto America :)

@@marcplatek3113In my opinion, Twins is a valuable pice of the puzzle. That class is making superbike teams not just superbike riders. There are plenty of riders and rider centric classes and not enough techs. The growth of the sport and series is more dependent on non-rider talent and investors. Team centric classes attract investment and sponsorship if you want more paid/free seats and competent techs and crew this is a good path. It takes all of us to put on the show and the gratitude is not always there for everyone in that regard.

Hay guys, I am Jamin Mathis the owner of Wrench Motorcycles. I normally enjoy the podcast and listen to it frequently on the long drive from LA to Chuckwalla but not so much this one, Bobby did great and represented the team like a pro should. I am always grateful after seeing Bobby give an interview. However, Cory said something along the lines of Wrench Motorcycles aren't anything or we really don't do anything. I imagine that what Cory said was not intended to be dismissive or hurtful but I do want to correct the record. Wrench motorcycles has made many of the parts in house on the bike that Bobby is riding. This includes many of the carbon fiber bodywork parts, the swingarm, the fuel tank and many many other small parts all over the bike. We are a prototyping shop and we are trying to make a line of parts for sale but racing has become too much of a work load for a 2 person shop to accomplish this goal. Cory also said that he and I know each other. I personally would not say that we know each other, I can not remember us ever exchanging a single word but we certainly know of each other from our common time spent out at Chuckwalla. I'd like to correct that someday and properly introduce myself to Cory and James at a CVMA round in the soon. Please keep up the normally good work and Good luck in Ohio! Oh and if your wondering where the funding comes from for a competitive superbike team....? It comes from the mass production of pornography... The really nasty kind... The kind that makes it hard to look at yourself in the mirror after seeing it and realize the you like it... Nah Just kidding my wife is a badass corporate Lawyer who really enjoys owning a race team and I'm just a Moto-Wrench who is lucky enough to be tolerated by her. Be well Fellas!
@pipedreams_pod11 күн бұрын
Hey Jamin, thanks for all of that insight! You are correct in that all that was meant was that Wrench is not a large motorcycle conglomerate or aftermarket parts company with tons of money being made to spend on going racing. We appreciate you supporting Bobby and motorcycle racing as a whole. Thanks for listening.

@macop110422 күн бұрын
Bobby hit the nail on the head about the younger racers hanging out in Jr Cup and/or Twins Cup instead of getting on a supersport bike. I remember Gerloff and Lewis going at it in the WERA National Challenge series on their 600s, both 15 years old. When they turned 16, they jumped up to AMA supersport. However, you can't compare racing supersport in 2024 to supersport racing 15 years ago. How many paid or free supersport rides are there in 2024? My guess is three maybe four each. Everyone else has to pay. The 120-150k for a supersport ride is out of reach for many so Jr Cup and Twins keeps them in the paddock. Also, Bobby mentioned DiMario. He's only 15 and unable to race supersport. He will be there in 2025.. Reply

Preparation, clear mind, water, and oxygen. Those not having AP don't understand. Been there.
