It's not often that we have two guests on one show, but in this case it makes sense as it's the duo of Colin Barton and Dominic Doyle. Doyle tells us about his new ride for 2023 as he prepares to get the season rolling in the REV'IT! Twins Cup Championship on a Team Iso Yamaha YZF-R7 at Daytona International Speedway. Barton, meanwhile, is taking a "sabbatical" for a year so he can keep up with his busy construction business in New York City. Listen in to this week'...
Mar 03, 2023•35 min•Ep 224•Transcript available on Metacast A lot of people say they're living the dream, but defending MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Champion Tyler O'Hara truly is. A journeyman racer early in his career, O'Hara heads to Daytona International Speedway in a few short weeks with two number-one plates on his factory Indian motorcycles - one in the Baggers class, the other earned by taking the Mission Super Hooligans National Championship. O'Hara is a fighter and he's spent the winter getting ready to defen...
Feb 24, 2023•46 min•Ep 223•Transcript available on Metacast If we were handing out an award for the smartest guest in the history of the Off Track With Carruthers And Bice podcast, Jason Kehl would likely win. With a resume that includes everything from designing dialysis machines to being the lead engineer on a team that delivered the world's most advanced cruise missile, to his current role as team principle of Harley-Davidson's factory team in the MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Championship, Kehl's history is impressive. But hi...
Feb 15, 2023•55 min•Ep 222•Transcript available on Metacast Ben Gloddy didn't have his best season in 2022 as he attacked the REV'IT! Twins Cup Championship with his Robem Engineering Aprilia RS 660, but it ended on a high with two podium finishes in the final two races of the season in New Jersey and in the finale at the Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. Gloddy and the Robem team will be back at it in the 2023 MotoAmerica Championship with an undisclosed teammate and a big push for the REV'IT! Twins Cup title. We caught up with Gloddy f...
Feb 10, 2023•41 min•Ep 221•Transcript available on Metacast Other than getting engaged to his now-fiancee Kaitlyn, Michael Gilbert had a pretty awful 2022. It started with a broken ankle in the MotoAmerica round at Road America and ended with the broken femur he suffered at Ridge Motorsports Park. The ankle should have ended his season and the femur most definitely did. But Gilbert is back, the femur is healed and recent surgery on his ankle has fixed all that ailed him. The Californian recently announced his 2023 program and it involves him moving back ...

Jan 27, 2023•37 min•Ep 219•Transcript available on Metacast There is smart and then there is SMART. Chloe Lerin is the latter. A data engineer who can be found under many a team awning during MotoAmerica race weekends, Lerin comes to the paddock armed with a Masters Degree in internal combustion engines. In addition to her weekend duties, Lerin is also the test engineer for Harley-Davidson's King Of The Baggers big V-twin program. Let's just say she's well versed on all things tech while also having a passion for motorcycle racing (despite...
Jan 19, 2023•49 min•Ep 218•Transcript available on Metacast James Rispoli has been around the racing block. He started in dirt track, went road racing (and won two AMA Supersport titles), went to England to road race in BSB in both Supersport and Superbike, came back to race more dirt track, won the 2020 AFT Production Twins title, dabbled a bit more in road racing and, lo and behold, discovered the MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Championship. Love at first sight? It seems so as Rispoli earned two podium finishes last year en route to sixth in t...

Gerloff fills us in on a bit of everything, from that first test on the BMW, to working hard in the gym, ...
Jan 06, 2023•52 min•Ep 216•Transcript available on Metacast Just when most of us thought that Josh Herrin was going to defend his MotoAmerica Supersport Championship in 2023, everything changed in just a few short weeks. Ducati brought Xavi Fores into the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC team and announced that the Spaniard was going to race the Panigale V2 in the Supersport class. Herrin, meanwhile, was getting bumped up to the premier MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike Championship. Merry Christmas, Mr. Herrin. We caught up with Herrin this week to chat abo...
Dec 19, 2022•54 min•Ep 215•Transcript available on Metacast Kyle Wyman finished third in the 2022 MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Championship - just 12 points from taking the title despite a non-finish and a non-start in the seven races. Although he didn't earn the championship, he did win more races than any other racer in the series with his three victories. Wyman also moonlighted in the Medallia Superbike class six times with the highlight of those wild-card rides a third-place finish in race two at Road Atlanta on the Tytlers Cycle BMW....
Dec 08, 2022•54 min•Ep 214•Transcript available on Metacast Cory Ventura finished sixth in the MotoAmerica REV'IT! Twins Cup Championship in 2022 with three podiums - all of them victories - in what was an up-and-down year for the 20-year-old. Ventura also raced six times in the MotoAmerica Supersport series as a fill-in rider for the injured Sam Lochoff and it was enough to turn some heads. In his first race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Ventura ran near the front and finished eighth and fifth in the two races. It earned him four more races o...

Not a bad season for a team that was making its Superbike debut in just its second season of MotoAmerica. We chatted with team owner Jesse Hwilka for the newest episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to talk about the 2022 season while also learning about the team's raci...
Nov 23, 2022•54 min•Ep 212•Transcript available on Metacast Let's say you crash at a recent track day and scuff up that new set of leathers. You're crushed because you spent a lot of money for not only the protection leathers provide, but also the fact that they make you look like Jake Gagne. Well, don't panic. This is where Greg Sermabeikian and crew come to the rescue at Anthony's Leatherworks in Southern California. You send your leathers to Anthony's Leatherworks and they come back as good as new. And that's only the sta...
Nov 18, 2022•56 min•Ep 211•Transcript available on Metacast It's not every day that we get to actually speak with someone from the MotoAmerica fan base, but we did this week for the newest episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice. Shannon Utz is a relatively new fan to the MotoAmerica Championship, but she's jumped in with both feet and her enthusiasm for our series is hopefully contagious. Utz completed her first season of fandom in 2022 and we caught up with her to get her thoughts, complaints and suggestions for her new "love."...
Nov 09, 2022•48 min•Ep 210•Transcript available on Metacast As MotoAmerica's COO, one of Chuck Aksland's key responsibilities is to put together a schedule of events that works not only for the championship and the tracks, but also the teams, the riders and the fans. It's an arduous job and one that he knows isn't going to be done to everyone's liking. This week MotoAmerica released its provisional 2023 calendar and we were able to corral Aksland for this episode Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to learn more about the behind-t...
Nov 04, 2022•54 min•Ep 209•Transcript available on Metacast Aaron Yates ranks in the top 10 of all-time AMA race winners across all classes with victories in virtually every category during a career that saw him win his first race in 1994 and his last in 2008. Along the way, Aaron won four AMA Championship, raced factory Suzuki Superbikes with the Yoshimura team, and earned a reputation as hard-working rider with gobs of talent. For today's generation, Aaron is now Ashton Yates' father and that's also a good thing to be. Ashton just comple...
Oct 26, 2022•51 min•Ep 208•Transcript available on Metacast With the recent release of the 2023 MotoAmerica rulebook, we thought it was a perfect time for a little sit-down chat with MotoAmerica's Technical Director Tige Daane for this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice. Daane will be starting his third season on the job when the series kicks off in March and he was accommodating to all our questions, ranging from more details on the new rules package, including when a two-bike rule isn't a two-bike rule, and what the hel...

But it turns out the 15-year-old wasn’t done yet. A few weeks after the lights went out on a MotoAmerica season that saw her just eight points short of winning the championship, Yaakov was on a plane and headed to Portugal where she competed in the Yamaha R3 bLU cRC European SuperFinale at Portimao. Competed actually ...
Oct 14, 2022•48 min•Ep 206•Transcript available on Metacast Max Flinders may be the happiest guy in the MotoAmerica paddock as evidenced by a face that wears a smile each and every day. And why not? After all, he's racing in the MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike Championship with his friendly little Thrashed Bike Racing team and he is quite literally living his best life. Flinders and his all-yellow Yamaha YZF-R1 have quite a following in the MotoAmerica Series and, believe it or not, he just finished his eighth season of racing in the premier road rac...
Oct 06, 2022•45 min•Ep 205•Transcript available on Metacast Gus Rodio scored 285 points in the 2022 MotoAmerica SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup Championship. Unfortunately for him, Cody Wyman also scored 285 points and won the title in a tiebreaker due to the fact that he had more victories. Still, it was a heck of a year for Rodio and his farewell to Junior Cup racing as he will move to the REV'IT! Twins Cup class next year. First things first, however, and Rodio will cross the Atlantic in a few weeks to take part in the British Superbike Series....

Aug 25, 2022•49 min•Ep 199•Transcript available on Metacast Anthony Mazziotto and Jody Barry are separated by just one point in the battle for the MotoAmerica REV’IT! Twins Cup Championship going into this weekend’s round at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. So, in classic “hold my beer and watch this” fashion, Carruthers and Bice came up with the idea of having the two on the same podcast, separated by mere inches and on video. What could be better for podcast downloads than a good old-fashioned brawl between bitter rivals. Well, as it turns out, t...
Aug 18, 2022•35 min•Ep 198•Transcript available on Metacast In 2020, Attack Performance took over the running of Yamaha’s "factory" team in the MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike Championship. The results have been impressive. How’s this? Forty-two wins in 54 races for a 77 percent win ratio as of the recent round at Brainerd International Raceway. The man behind the team, known as Fresh N Lean Progressive Yamaha Racing, is Richard Stanboli. Thus, the team’s success shouldn’t come as a surprise based on his past work. With defending series champion...
Aug 11, 2022•1 hr 7 min•Ep 197•Transcript available on Metacast We sometimes forget that Rocco Landers is just 17 years old. Perhaps that stems from the fact that the "kid" has been winning in the MotoAmerica Championship since he was 14. And he's done quite well, thank you very much. How well? How about 40 total victories: 29 in Junior Cup, nine in Twins Cup and, thanks to his two wins at Brainerd International Raceway last weekend, two in Supersport. Those wins earned him two Junior Cup Championships and a Twins Cup title before he departed ...
