I've been working with Wedrick for a few years now and finally managed to get him to come onto Monki Moto Pod to talk about his experiences that led him to found a motorsports media company - not an easy industry to be successful in since it is a niche within a niche.

Wedrick talks about some of the challenges he faced as a business owner and some unique challenges that his media company faces. His skill piloting the FPV drone is second to none and he provides top-tier track-side coverage for clients around SoCal.

CVMA expert racer 93, Evan Lutz, is back on the podcast - this time, telling us how he went from cars to motorcycle racing. Turns out, he does more than just power sports in an unconventional way. His business First Team IT came about due to his interest in computer technology as well as seeing ways to make systems run more efficiently with the customer in mind.

We talk about the mindset of an entrepreneur and a racer—always seeking efficiency and bigger challenges, and how racing the Rainbow Road of life leads to many rewards.

What would happen if a philosopher trades his bookshelf for a bike? In this episode, we sit down with the mind behind Corridors of Knowledge on YouTube—Wendel, a deep thinker ready to go full throttle into the world of motorcycles. As a new rider, he comes with a curiosity that opens doors to some interesting conversation and some things I hadn't considered. Plus, we play the motorcycle term guessing game! Tune in!

On this episode, art imitates life imitating art imitating life! ....or something like that... It is really cool to be sharing stories on Monki Moto Pod.

Motorcycle journalism captures the spirit of street riding, racing, building, and everything in between—across print, digital, film, and photography. On this episode of the Monki Moto Pod, I’m joined by Michael Gougis: investigative journalist, professor, and seasoned motorsports writer. We explore the challenges and rewards of his career, both within and beyond the motorcycle world. Michael shares insights from his journey, including the story behind Biker Boyz, the 2003 film inspired by his article for the New Times. This episode is packed with life lessons, personal stories, and it closes with a powerful reflection—a physical reminder of the incredible journey motorcycles have taken him on.

Mark and I answer the age old question:  Does size really matter?, while addressing what constitutes an “upgrade”. 

Between R3s, scraping walls, and falling over when stopping, small girlies get the short end of the motorcycle stick - unless they decide to take better advice. The argument, “get a bigger bike to upgrade” is dated. Bikes are now more than ever, purpose made, and better technology is being added to small to large bikes. 

What do you think of the engine size debate?

Monki Moto Pod is sending one lucky winner to SoCal Supermoto School day! WIN by supporting the show on Patreon or commenting on any Monki Moto Pod episode after June 3rd. The winner will be announced the second week of July!

Her life was saved for a reason. Michelle Corotan has always amazed me with her mental strength after surviving a brain aneurysm. What could have been her last day in this world changed her for the better of herself, and positively impacted others. She filmed Down to the Wire with Scott Murphy, an independent film maker, about her experience going through the surgery and recovery. 

She hopes to spread awareness for persons who suffer brain aneurysms and give light to people affected by losing or almost losing a loved one. Watch her short film documentary here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFYLUrIkuoc

She has a GoFundMe for her ongoing medical expenses, which we talk about in the episode. An Epi-Pen is roughly $700!? ...and that's not all...
