Over the years, America has had the fortune of importing some of Australia’s best—from Steve Irwin to Paul Hogan, Nicole Kidman to Heath Ledger. But on this day over a decade ago, we welcomed one of Australia’s fastest men on two wheels: Rennie Scaysbrook.

I’ve not only had the pleasure of documenting this legend as he raced and tested an endless bevy of bikes around the world, but I also get to call him a dear friend. This year, at AIMExpo, I had the fortune of stepping out from behind the camera to sit and talk with my favorite underground Australian DJ and children's book author on camera about some of our adventures and what’s in store for this wide-open Aussie as he continues to proudly earn his new title of 'Merican.

To learn more about this record setting, Pike’s peak winning, Isle of Man TT psycho, give the episode a listen. And for all his latest news and reviews be sure to check him out over at Cycle News.

Hey guys, to start I wanted to first apologize to my recent guests for the delay in the release of their episodes. My attention has been directed to the work that currently pays the bills, and I haven't had the time to produce and share our interviews. Second, I want to apologize to YOU. It's my intent to create high quality material that entertains, informs, and shares some insight into my world. But my schedule as of late has me running wide open and I can't keep up with the output of my show. I know the expectation is something of my own creation, but anything worth doing is worth doing well, and thus my frustration and further request for your patience. The content of this episode directly addresses my frustrations and hopefully relays my intent to find support to appropriately scale and meet the demands of my show and in concert, my brand.It's a quick one I recorded on my drive up 75, but l wanted to get it out, and equally out of my own way. So check out my check in and thanks in advance for your continued support as I navigate the wild world of media creation and brand development.Have a great day y'all!!!
