We talk to Ed Abdo about his long career in the motorcycle industry.   We go through his entire journey, from a start on a Rupp Goat minibike.  His story starts with sweeping floors in a shop, and goes all the way to working for American Honda.  

In part one he tells us about the early days and goes into a road racing injury story that had us cringing but is triumphant.  We finish up talking about his time with Honda.
