Sam Moses worked for Sports Illustrated for 18 years, the majority of which as its motorsports writer, covering events like the Indy 500, the Daytona 500 and the Long Beach Grand Prix back when it was a round of the Formula One World Championship. But his first love was motorcycles, and motorcycle racing, so Moses pitched those stories to Sports Illustrated and, with the help of his SI editor Bob Brown, he was able to write stories that no one else was writing. Those stories included his first motorcycle racing feature on a young, dirt-tracking Kenny Roberts in 1974. But he didn't stop there. He kept pitching those stories, bringing motorcycle racing to a new audience with more feature stories, including Roberts during his World Championship years, and the three-time 500cc World Champion's challenger, a young Freddie Spencer. We got the chance to chat with Moses from his island home of Lombok in Indonesia to chat about all that and more.

From fighting alcoholism as a young man who actually did hit rock bottom, to building a start-up trucking company into a $360 million success story with 3000 employees, Tim Estenson has most definitely lived. Having sold Estenson Logistics in 2017, Estenson is now "retired," and focusing his efforts on Estenson Racing, which encompasses the highly successful American Flat Track (AFT) team of Dallas Daniels and Tom Drane, and the upstart MotoAmerica Talent Cup team featuring Sam Drane. Estenson also has an impressive collection of motorcycles that hovers around 300. The story of Estenson's life has been written in his biography, On Rails, and you can hear a shortened version on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice as we welcome Estenson as our guest.

Motorcycle companies aren’t normally owned by engineers, but maybe they should be. Joe Karvonen is the owner of Krämer Motorcycles U.S.A. and he’s an engineer who learned his trade at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. He’s also a club racer and a track-day rider. A perfect fit for a company that manufactures track-day and race bikes, including the purpose-built Krämer APX-350 MA that is being raced in MotoAmerica’s new Parts Unlimited By Motul Talent Cup. We caught up with Karvonen at the recent Road America round to talk about Krämer, the Talent Cup, and much more on this week’s episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

It's hard to argue against Road America being one of the best racing facilities in the world. The track itself is long, it's fast, and it always produces close races. As for the rest of it... well, you'd have to look long and hard to find even a blade of grass that's out of place. A favorite of MotoAmerica's racers, teams and fans, the series is excited to be heading to the picturesque circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, May 30-June 1. For a bit more background on Road America, we caught up with the track's Communications Director John Ewert to learn even more about the racetrack and the local community on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

It would be difficult to find a more suited MotoAmerica Chief Medical Officer than Dr. Carl Price. Who better to assist an injured motorcycle racer than a doctor who has been riding and racing motorcycles since his childhood? We got the chance to chat with the personable Dr. Price on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to talk about the serious side of our sport - injuries and how to treat them. This week's podcast focuses specifically on the new groundbreaking Abbott technology that allows Dr. Price to use a blood test to help assess riders with suspected concussions on-site at all MotoAmerica events.

Laid-back South African Dominic Doyle, who now calls Columbus, Indiana, home, is a bonafide championship contender in the 2025 MotoAmerica SC-Project Twins Cup Championship. With two rounds and four races in the bank, Doyle is third in the championship with three podiums out of the four races. Unfortunately, mechanical issues kept him from scoring points in race one at Barber Motorsports Park or he'd be even closer to the front. In addition to racing his Giaccmoto Yamaha Racing YZF-R7 in the SC-Project Twins Cup series, Doyle also races a Yamaha MT-09 SP in the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship, and that's what he will be racing in the next round of the MotoAmerica Championship at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, May 4-6.  We caught up with Doyle in the days leading up to the Road Atlanta round to talk about his racing and much more on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.
