One of the most fascinating characters in Grand Prix racing history. John Kocinski is another World Champion few have heard from in the decades since he retired from the sport. This is one of the most interesting episodes you'll hear on the American Legends show, so sit back and enjoy.

Today's guest is a multi time World Champion who's aim is to have as much impact on the sport in his post riding career, than his did during his prime riding years. We all know the story of Wayne Rainey's racing career, his accident and many will know a lot about his role in MotoAmerica. This is a man, however, with hours and hours of untold stories to tell. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Many riders can get podiums at GP level, fewer can win, fewer can win World Championships, even fewer can win multiple, then there are a special few who change the game altogether. Kenny Roberts Sr is one of those characters. Not just famous for who he was on the track but off it as well. This is another exclusive sit down interview with a giant of motorcycle racing. We give you, King Kenny Roberts.

The 4-time World Champion who is rarely heard of these days. Eddie Lawson is one of the giants of motorcycle racing, not just in the US but all around the World. A quiet character who did most of his talking on the track, but that takes nothing away from the stories this man has to tell. Hope you enjoy it! As always, if you'd like to support the podcast and the work that goes into the show, please consider buying a book from motostarr.com. It's the easiest way to keep the show on its feet! Thank you.

This is the story of a man who needs little introduction. One half of one of the most iconic rivalries in motorcycle racing history, a World Champion and a hero to a whole generation of racing fans. This is a full one hour of pure inspiration from the one and only, Kevin Schwantz.

Sticking with not just a World Champion on the dirt, but another American great of Speedway. This is the story of double World Champion, Bruce Penhall, who not only was a demon on the race track but off it, was able to turn his hand to something totally different altogether - acting! Hope you enjoy the show.

A second venture onto the dirt for the podcast but switching our attention from Motocross to Speedway. Greg Hancock is a 4 time Speedway World Champion and with over 200 Grands Prix to his name, he's not just the greatest Speedway rider to come out of America, he's up there with the greatest Speedway riders of all time.

A switch from the road to the dirt for this episode of the podcast as Peter is joined by America's first World Champion in Motocross - Brad Lackey. He took on the world at a time when few Americans even really knew what Motocross was and beat the very best! His story is a truly fascinating one. We hope you enjoy it.

'Fast' Freddie Spencer. Where do you even start? Three times a World Champion in Grand Prix racing, two of those titles won in the same YEAR! The word 'legendary' is thrown around flippantly these days, but managing to win a 500cc World Championship and a 250cc World Championship in the same season really is a legendary feat, especially given such an achievement hasn't been replicated since, nor will it ever likely be repeated. What's more, many of Freddie Spencer's achievements beginning with "the youngest rider in history to..." have only JUST in the last decade been beaten, by none other than a certain Marc Marquez. These days, Freddie works as the chairman of the FIM MotoGP Stewards Panel at all the races on the Grand Prix calendar, so in amongst his incredibly busy schedule with that, we're very fortunate he found the time to speak for a full hour on the MotoStarr Podcast to tell stories from his book, "Feel", as well as stories not in the book. If you enjoy the episode, please leave a review on your corresponding podcast platform, it'll really help. Thank you.
