QUITE A RIDE with Reg Pridmore

Reg Pridmore was the first AMA Superbike Champion, winning the series for the first three years of its existence: 1976, 1977, and 1978. He helped put BMW motorcycles on the map racing the F750 and R90S. Reg tells his fascinating story from beginnings in the UK of his birth, to his later successes in the USA. All new footage of his BMW F750 hitting the track for the first time after a painstaking restoration reminds us of the skill and daring that Reg brought to early Superbike racing.

This man saved my life! I met my mate Reg back in 2010 when i first went to his CLASS school. In the subsequent visits (10-12 years) i truly learned what was needed to pilot a motorcycle both on track and street. We have have spoken on the phone, and in person about all sorts of topics within motorcycling, and he is the one i have learned the most from. In the MOST panic-stricken situations, it's Reg's voice that comes thru to help guide me through. I hold him in the highest regards as both a teacher, a leader in the industry, a mentor, and a 'mate'. We miss him coming back to Vir Int'l Raceway and I miss his jokes, his stories, and his friendship. I hope he and his wonderful wife Gigi are happy, healthy, and enjoying the slowed down pace of their lives. Yes Sir-Yes Maam (my own inside joke to them...)

Despite the grief he has flicked me over the past 35 years, I love this guy, one of the greatest and loyal friends a person could have. The best of the best and a gift to street riders for over 40 years. A gentleman, an honor to say I was able to stand next too.
