This Special Edition of Indian Rider Radio was a pleasure to produce and I'm truly honored to share it with you.

First, meet Jon "Flying" Koester. He's Indian Motorcycle's newest factory rider and a 10 time AMA Pro Hill Climb Champion.  From Hornell, NY, John is one of the new breed of racer who grew up in the sport in a part of the country where grass-roots racing and some of motorcycling's "forgotten" disciplines are still going strong.

Then, we welcome back Brandon Kreeger - the host of "Nitro & Mud", Brandon grew up in AMA Hill Climb and shares his thoughts on Indian joining the sport and the resurgence of grass roots, local racing in the Northeast.

There wouldn't be a resurgence if there hadn't been a start. In the 1960's and 1970's NY, PA, OH and NJ were the hotbed of American motorcycle racing and guys like "Stormin'"Norman Robinson were there. An expert Flat Tracker and 1978 US Open Speedway Champion, Norm talks about the birth of motorcycle racing, it's return to the mainstream and its future.

And finally, you'll meet a NY race track promotor who grew up at Speedway, Enduro and Motocross tracks all across the Northeast. Jason Bonsignore now owns three tracks and shares from his unique perspective on growing up in the sport and the challenges he faces while keeping racing alive
