2024 Track season for JKMoto is essentially over and as we prepare for next season and what the future will bring, we also often look back and reflect on what we've done!! To make that a little easier we decided to bring on a guest that joined us for many of the motorcycle adventures of 2025!! If there were such thing as a track son, Kelly would fit that bill for the JKMoto Team, but he also has an interesting back story that led him to eventually riding motorcycles and doing track days. From a Toyota Corolla, to 2 different sport bikes and 6 different race tracks under his belt, Kelly has quite the track record already and has a very interesting learning curve due to being a brand new rider that hit the track so early on! Stay tuned for the rest of an amazing story and quick recap of some of the adventures of the year!!!

With the holiday season upon us many are out Christmas shopping and spending their money on cheer!! Don't forget that the 2025 race season is right around the corner, we don't know about you but for us just send tires was our letter to Santa this year! While most of the world is enjoying left over turkey and beginning the decorating for the season, KTM is inching dangerously close to a bankruptcy that could leave them out of MotoGP next year. While that's happening inside the Austrian company, CFMoto a relatively new Chinese motorcycle manufacturer surprises us with a new design for a liter bike!! Beyond the bike financial world news, remember that many clubs across the nation are posting their schedules up for the new year, so don't forget to pull some of that Christmas money aside and purchase a race license!!

It was about time we finally made a trip to the campus to visit Josh, the man behind the weekly riding tips!! From private coaching, to flat tracking, mini motos, and just an all around fun filled weekend on two wheels, this trip truly had it all! We decided it would be best to bring on Josh himself to help tell the stories about the trip down to Motor Speedway Resort Houston!! As track day junkies we have made some pretty insane trips to see race tracks all over the US, but this trip will definitely go down in the record books. Easton got his first actual taste of dirt, and the JKMoto crew proved the effectiveness of Josh's training camp by brining a brand new rider along for the trip! Tune in and enjoy as we unpack this eventful weekend!!!

BMW saw all of the concepts of the 2025 M1000RR with much larger wings, and well, they made them true. Not only did the M1000RR get bigger wings and more HP but the S1000RR also got a few upgrades, that also include bigger wings and more HP. But besides BMW and their new bike upgrades for the coming year, MotoGP continues to give us amazing battles and an almost never ending title fight. Martin and Bagnaia gave us some of the best battling MotoGP has seen in a long time, although only for the first 5 laps it was definitely amazing to watch. The other news we have is the official change of the last round due to natural disaster events in Valencia, we will end the season in Barcelona. Who will win? Martin could be the first satellite championship winner ever, Bagnaia could retain his 2 year running title, or lose it moving into the 2025 season. Much excitement awaits and we're here to tell about it all!!

This week's MotoGP "daredevils" took on one of the top favorite tracks of motorsport enthusiasts world wide, and delivered an epic battle for victory at Phillip Island!

Jorge Martin did not disappoint either, with a lap fast enough to put him on pole, he fought hard to keep ahead of the reigning world champion and score some much needed points before moving forward to the final 3 rounds of the season.

While we'll always still cover MotoGP, this week Japan had some "normal" racing that didn't bring too much excitement. Marc Marquez did not set a lap record so we'll definitely touch on that, but besides that and both he and Martin moving toward the front from way back there wasn't a ton going on. In other news and in a different part of the world World SuperBike remains "superior" racing with excitement for the full length, all the way up to a .003 second win!! To wrap things up this week, Yamaha announced a new motorcycle the R9, and we've got some things to say about it.

Questions that remain to be answered but are great to ponder on! So sit back and relax as we unwrap another great episode of your favorite weekly motorcycle podcast!!
