Introduction

I originally started my trek in 2017 at the age of 54, to complete a dream of riding a motorcycle on a big track. When asked, I always said I loved to watch racing, but I was NOT interested in doing it myself... thinking the reason folks raced was to win trophies. As much as I would enjoy a racing trophy, I am a realist and know that my robust frame has always carried too much weight to have the speed necessary to get on a podium. So what was the turning point, that made me decide to race? Bucket list was my first answer, but it expanded to hanging out with the racing community... being able to enjoy racing from the other side of the wall. As with many of my video pursuits, I thought the racing experience would enable me to better understand the racers I was interviewing.
