Niccoló Canepa is a two-time World Endurance Champion, a test rider for Yamaha, and a riding coach for Yamaha's World Superbike team. This week, Canepa has his race face on as he prepares to battle, along with his two World Endurance YART Yamaha teammates, in Daytona 200 for the first time. We caught up with Canepa this week at Daytona International Speedway for the newest Off Track With Carruthers And Bice podcast to talk about his three different careers in racing and more.

When Hank Snow took “I’ve Been Everywhere” to number one on the country-music charts, Dennis Noyes was writing for a daily newspaper in Venezuela. South America is a long way from central Illinois, where Noyes was born and raised. His father wrote for the “Stars And Stripes” and his mother was a linguistics professor at Purdue University, so words have always been and remain integral to Dennis’ existence.

Noyes ultimately landed in Spain, where he became a motorcycle road tester for Solo Moto and Motociclismo magazines, as well as a national championship-winning racer. For years, Dennis traveled the world reporting on the biggest names in Grand Prix road racing. Noyes’ youngest son, Kenny, followed in his father’s wheel tracks, making his world championship debut in 2010 and winning the Spanish national title in 2014.

Today, Noyes is retired and living with his wife, Heidi, in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert. He still kicks up dust on two wheels, namely a John Bloor-era Triumph Thruxton with a pair of Mikuni round-slide carburetors replacing the modern electronic fuel injection styled to look like traditional mixers. Noyes recently published his first novel, “Yonders, Illinois.”

JD Beach is back as a full-time MotoAmerica Superbike racer for the 2024 season and he couldn't be happier. Armed with a Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR, Beach is confident of being in the fight at the front of the Steel Commander Superbike pack when the series gets rolling at Road Atlanta in April, and he can't wait for the season to get started. We caught up with Beach from his rental house in Florida where he has been training with former flat track teammate Dallas Daniels and others to chat about the coming season, his new bike and much more on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

When Bridget McCutchen set off from her rural midwestern home on a world tour, she had no idea what the next 16 months would bring. Some 451 days later, after covering nearly 50,000 miles and visiting 45 countries, the 22-year-old Wisconsin native had successfully checked off all the requirements to become the youngest person, man or woman, to travel around the world by motorcycle.

McCutchen was new to motorcycling, with relatively few miles under her belt, when she began to map out her journey. No surprise, her trip wasn’t as simple as connecting the dots. In Chile, McCutchen and a friend were robbed. Later, she was hit by a car, resulting in a concussion and other injuries. And then there was the war in Ukraine, which scratched plans to travel through Russia.

“Part of the reason I'm traveling around the world is to show that the motorcycle demographic is changing,” McCutchen wrote partway through the trip on her website, two-wheels-round.com. “I represent the new generation of riders. Young women who enjoy motorcycling are a growing force; they are people who want to be more present, enveloped in the world, not encapsulated in the bubble of a car.”

Rocco Landers can breathe easy for the first time in his short but successful career as he will show up to Daytona International Speedway with a contract to race for one of the best teams in the paddock - Vance & Hines Motorsports. Landers, who at just 19 has 48 MotoAmerica wins (29 in Junior Cup, 15 in Twins Cup and four in Supersport) on his resume, will make his debut in the Mission King Of The Baggers class on a RevZilla/Mission/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson at Daytona while also hoping to continue his previous success in the BellissiMoto Twins Cup Series on a new RevZilla/Mission/Vance & Hines Suzuki GSX-8R. We chatted with Landers on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to chat about all that and more.

Peter Hickman is the all-time Isle of Man TT lap record holder at 136.358 mph. He's also won 13 TTs, putting him ninth all-time. And now he's coming to Daytona International Speedway to race in his first Daytona 200 on his PHR Performance Triumph. We caught up with the Brit during his pre-Daytona visit to Texas and the Colin Edwards Texas Tornado Boot Camp to talk about his Daytona debut. For obvious reasons, we also couldn't resist finding out all we could about the Isle of Man TT  for this week's Off Track With Carruthers And Bice Podcast.

So, who is Troy Herfoss, you ask? The newest member of the Indian Motorcycle/Progressive/Mission Foods team is a three-time Australian Superbike Champion, an AMA Supermoto Champion (during Supermoto’s heyday) and an XGames silver medalist in Supermoto. And now he’s making a change. A big change. With his debut set to come in the Mission King Of The Baggers races at Daytona, Herfoss will embark on a new journey. He will be racing in a new series, in a new country and on a completely different type of motorcycle than he’s ever raced before. We caught up with the Aussie to chat about all that and more as we close in on his debut at Daytona in March.

Would you let a complete stranger ride your prized motorcycle? Austin Rothbard is betting that you will—for a fee, of course. In fact, Rothbard started a business in 2017 based on that very concept. Rothbard is a motorcyclist himself and the founder and CEO of “Twisted Road,” a peer-to-peer, community-based rental service that he fondly refers to as the “Airbnb of motorcycles.”

Twisted Road builds relationships with motorcycle owners who care about their machines. They keep their bikes clean and shiny. Proper maintenance is a priority. They can spout tire pressures—cold or hot?—quicker than their spouses’ birthdates. And they expect the same from customers. One of the rental stipulations, for example, is that every motorcycle is returned with a full tank of gas.

Find a motorcycle, book your days, and enjoy the ride of your life. According to Rothbard, the Twisted Road experience is that easy. Aiming to “unlock the motorcycles of the world so more people can experience life on two wheels,” the New Jersey native who now calls Chicago home truly embodies the entrepreneurial spirit. We are pleased to have Austin as a guest on this episode of the “Driven to Ride” podcast.

Alex Arango may end up being the busiest man in the MotoAmerica paddock during the 2024 season. With a gaggle of as many as eight riders on his TopPro Motorsports team, including former MotoAmerica Supersport Champion Sean Dylan Kelly, Arango will also be joining Kelly on the team's BMW M 1000 RRs in the Steel Commander Superbike Championship. We caught up with Arango from his dealership in Florida to talk about his plans for the team and much more on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

Jake Lewis will be busy doing what he loves most this coming MotoAmerica season... racing motorcycles and living life in the paddock. And he'll definitely be spinning a lot of laps with the Kentuckian set to grid up in three drastically different classes this season - Mission King Of The Baggers, Supersport and Super Hooligan National Championship. To be ready for the challenge his Altus Motorsports (Supersport) and Team Saddlemen teams (Baggers and Hooligan), Lewis has been busy training and to carry less weight on his big frame. We chatted with Lewis to talk about all of that and more on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

How’s this for a company motto? “Hand built. Made to last.” Those aren’t just words, either: Top Fuel Motorcycle drag racer and former world record holder Kory Hogan survived a 246-mph crash in a leather suit designed and manufactured under the unyielding direction of the guest on this episode, the founder and CEO of Vanson Leathers, Mike van der Sleesen.

Founded in 1974 and operating since 1988 from a century-old textiles mill in Fall River, Massachusetts, Vanson has produced competition leather suits for many racing greats, including Giacomo Agostini, Freddie Spencer, and Jay Springsteen. Vanson products also have appeared in countless films and television productions and been worn by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Despite these successes, Van Der Sleesen is as grounded as they come. He has a deep understanding of international business and a wealth of manufacturing experience, yet he is one of the great characters in the motorcycle industry. On this episode, show host Mark Long discusses the Norton Commando 850 ownership experience with van der Sleesen.

It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. There are times when a racer wins a championship and finds himself without a ride for the following year. It happens to the best of them, including Wayne Rainey who won a Superbike title for Kawasaki only to watch as the team disbanded for the following season. Well, Xavi Forés finds himself in the unenviable position of looking for a ride after winning the 2023 MotoAmerica Supersport title. We caught up with the Spaniard to talk about that and more on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

Cameron Petersen had a horrible 2023 season in the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship with a badly injured wrist ruining his year. With surgery and rehab behind him, Petersen is ready for the 2024 Steel Commander Superbike series and his testing program starts next week in Arizona. We caught up with the South African for this week's Off Track With Carruthers And Bice podcast to discuss the injury, the season past and his excitement for getting back to the MotoAmerica paddock and back on his Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike.

Michael Lichter rode a motorcycle to the Black Hills Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, for the first time in 1979—44 years ago. He documented that trip with a camera from the seat of his Harley-Davidson Shovelhead. Little did Lichter know that inaugural visit to  the wildly popular biker party would lead to attending dozens more rallies and hundreds of other similar events and gatherings around the world.

Lichter fell in love with photography when he was a kid. By age 13, he had a working darkroom set up in the basement of his parents’ home. Even on school nights, he would work until the early hours of the morning, when his parents came knocking. Later, he began to focus his lens on the biker culture and the quickly expanding custom side of motorcycling.

In 2000, Lichter produced his first “Motorcycles As Art” exhibition, which morphed into a themed annual event staged initially at the Journey Museum in Rapid City. When the show outgrew that venue, Lichter moved it to Sturgis. From 2009 through 2022, the world-renowned artist curated the exhibit in a 7,000-square-foot gallery built specifically to house the show at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip.

To say that Ben Gloddy had a rough 2023 MotoAmerica season would be an understatement. As one of the favorites to challenge for the Twins Cup Championship, Gloddy's season unraveled before it really got started as a crash in the first race of the season at Daytona left him with severe injuries. It wasn't until the final round of the season at New Jersey Motorsports Park that Gloddy returned to action and his results were impressive with fourth- and fifth-place finishes in the two races. We caught up wtih Gloddy this week to chat about the good and the bad of 2023 on this episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.

Josh Herrin has been around a long time and he's hopeful of being around a lot longer. Using his old teammate Josh Hayes for inspiration, Herrin says he would like to race for another 10 years. in 2023, Herrin finished second in the 2023 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship with two wins and 12 podiums on the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC Panigale V4 R and although he's not completely sure what his plans are for 2024, it's seemingly a lock that he will be on the same team for the coming season. We caught up with Herrin from his Murrieta, California, to talk about the seasons past and the year ahead on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.
