This week, in episode 32 of the Bore and Stoke Podcast we are joined by long-time commentator, television host, and American motorcycling staple, Greg White.
Having called the action from the prime AMA Superbike era to today’s wildly popular MotoAmerica series, Greg gives us an insider’s look at the evolution of American road racing. We dive into his early riding roots, the reality of calling live races, and how classes like King of the Baggers are reshaping the sport.
