On this week’s show… Ken is here for today only! Phil wants to you to know about new Department of Transportation rules regarding towing trailers.  If you pull a motorcycle or car to the racetrack you might be subject to the new rules.  If you have sponsor stickers on your race bike and your trailer is 10,000 pounds you are a commercial tow and subject to the same rules as commercial haulers. If you get pulled over you might be stuck on the side of the rode until you can hire a commercial driver. Ken is gloating about how right he was on the return of Ken Roczen to Supercross.  Phil and Warren are still not sure he will make it to race day.  

Phil’s head is too big to fit though the studio door! JD Beach wins, AS WE PREDICTED the 2017 Suerprestigio!!!! He may have had a shaky start but he dominates the final race! Another American Briar Bauman 14 takes second place in this international, invitational event. Looks like American Flat Track is putting the world on notice. We also talk about “Should “Jiggy Dogg” Beach move to Flat Track full time????   www.IJUSTWANT2RIDE.COM

Yamaha is doing a stock sell… what do they need the money for?  Maybe to buy out Rossi?  LOL

Ben Spies is going to race on the Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro series! WE thought he might have been going to MotoAmerica.  Oh well. MotoAmerica’s Josh Hayes is no longer racing….and it was not his choice according to Phil.  He is being backfilled by Garrett Gerloff on factory Yamaha.  Josh is going to be the Yamaha brand ambassador. How many passengers can ride on a 500cc Royal Enfiled?  There is a new world record for the number of passengers!  

The 2017 MotoGP series ends with Pedrosa, Zarco and Marquez going 1,2,3 and Marquez winning the championship! Oh and about Marquez… just what in the hell was he thinking?!?!? Team orders? Jorge does not need team orders at Ducati? Rossi and Vinales go to the 2016 chassis but it did not really help. Zarco and the Tech 3 team really out performed the factory team which means factory Yamaha will be going back to the drawing board. In the commercial world Yamaha goes crazy at the Tokyo Motor Show!  

World Superbike 2017 season is done.  All hail KING REA!  Oh… and he broke a 15 year record in doing so!

J Rea is really putting his stamp on this year’s World SuperBike Championsip with another double.  Racing at Jerez Rea dominated the field while Melandri and van der Mark raced hard to see where they would onto the podium. In MotoGP Warren got to watch Moto3 at a comedy show.  In MOTO2 KTM put on a great race with Miguel Oliveira taking a win and his KTM partner Brad Binder in second.  Points leader Marc VDS’ Franco Morbidelli, finished third.  In other MOTO2 news we talked about SIC Racing Team and rider Hafizh Syahrin getting back into MOTO2. Regarding the premier class race at Philp Isle….. WOW!!!  This was the best racing of the season!  This was as close to the paint trading and physical, elbows and knees, NASCAR racing as you can get without duct tape holding on fenders.  This is a race you must see to believe.  

World Superbike was at Magny Cours (light). We also talk about how Rea affected the racing pool! American FLat Track Finale at Perris.  Some of the MotoAmerica racers rode in this event.  JD Beach even finished on the podium. Ben Spies might be back?!?!  For MotoAmerica?
