Back in October, I got the chance to spend two weeks on Super 73's R-Brooklyn electric bicycle. For motorcycle folks, an e-bike may not sound like your cup of tea, but I promise, it will sneak up on you. I go through the R-Brooklyns specs, my riding experience with it, who I think the target audience is, and how these bikes are breaking ground for future opportunities.

From December 31st until January 15th, competitors on motorcycles, quads, side-by-sides, cars, and trucks will be racing in what is said to be the most difficult off-road event in the world, the Dakar Rally.

In today's show, I explain what the Dakar Rally is, a brief history of the rally, define rally racing, highlight some of the motorcycle competitors, along with other commentary about the race.

Winter here in the midwest is a miserable time as a motorcyclists, so the Dakar Rally is a ray of light during the dark evening hours of winter.

Download Red Bullt TV on your phone or smart TV. Recap coverage is typically 7PM each night during the rally.

NBC Sports is apparently covering the race 6:30PM during the rally, but it's on Peacock, which may require a $5 subsciption

Per my comments on previous shows, it's been difficult to keep up with the podcast during the racing season. I want to apologize for the gap in the shows, but there's some new stuff on the horizon.

Let me know how the new audio sounds. Looking forward to an exciting new "season" of shows.

Show corrections: While I obviously don't recall, it is very possible Conrad Stodgell is more responsible for the mini-bike racing idea then I thought.

Heather Wilson is a motorsports media and marketing specialist. After many years at the American Motorcyclists Association (AMA), Heather now offers exclusive services directly to clients in the motorsports industry. Heather and I discuss the challenges and development of her recent ventures, stories, and advice from a motorcycle safety course instructor.

We chat about some changes in her stable, helmet communicators and more.
