This week on our motorcycle podcast we are talking about cooking food. With our bikes. No, really. Our moto is Live to Ride, Ride to Eat, so what better way to do this than to cook the food while you ride. We've come up with a list of bikes and dishes that we think are good matches. are you willing to try any? Next up we are joined by champion racer Bubba Shobert. He's a three-time A.M.A. Grand National Champion from 1985 to 1987 and was AMA Superbike Champion in 1988 while riding for American Honda. In 1989 Shobert moved up to the Grand Prix world championship riding for Honda. Unfortunately, Shobert's Grand Prix career was cut short at the third race of the season, where he was involved in a terrible crash with Kevin Magee on the cool off lap after the race, wherein Shobert drove into the back of Magee's motorcycle. Magee had stopped his motorcycle in the middle of the track and was performing a rear-wheel "burnout". Eddie Lawson narrowly missed hitting Magee's bike after he and Shobert had just finished congratulating each other moments earlier and were not looking forward. Shobert suffered severe head injuries but was able to make a full recovery after months of rehabilitation. He never raced again, taking instead roles as manager in some teams of AMA Grand National dirt track . With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma and Bagel.

Hello everyone and welcome to Motos and Friends, a weekly Podcast from Ultimate Motorcycling. This week's Podcast is brought to you by Yamaha motorcycles. Filling the gap between the entry-level R3, and the flagship superbike R1, Yamaha's YZF-R7 is a great supersport machine that perfectly balances real performance with rider comfort. Check it out at YamahaMotorsports.com, or of course you can see it for yourself at your local Yamaha dealer. This Podcast is also brought to you by the new, state-of-the-art Schuberth C5. The modular C5 is a flip up design that blends safety with amazing quietness within its compact, light weight design. Visit Schuberth.com for more information. This week, Senior Editor Nic de Sena talks to us about the uber-cool new Yamaha XSR 900. This gorgeous, retro-styled machine is another take on the awesome MT-09. There are some differences other than styling though, so it's interesting to hear Nic's thoughts on how this version of the three-cylinder 900 from Yamaha fits within the model range. In the second segment, Editor-at-Large Neale Bayly talks with a true racing icon, Mr Daytona himself—Scott Russell. Hailing from Georgia in the deep South, the former World Superbike and AMA Superbike Champion won the Daytona 200 a record five times, and also the Suzuka 8 Hours in 1993. Scott is the all-time leader in 750 cc AMA Supersport wins, and in 2005 he was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. This is Part 1 of 2, where Scott takes us from his humble beginnings on the back roads of Georgia and the start of his racing career, through to the massive crash at Daytona that ended that chapter of his life. A notorious bad-boy off track as well as shockingly naturally talented on track, Scott's raw telling in his signature southern drawl of how things unfolded for him, is an absolute must listen. From all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!

This man was the first AMA Superbike Champion, and the second, and the third. He also raced sidecars in the Isle of Man, started the preeminent motorcycle riding school in the USA, which at age 82 he continues to teach, and I'm told, he continues to be very, very fast! Reg Pridmore is one very rounded motorcycle competitor and an inductee into the AMA Hall of Fame.
A Three-time Grand National Flat track Champion with 25 mile wins in a six year career, the Stroh Miles Championship, Pro Athlete of the year twice, AMA Superbike Champion, and inspired so much confidence in Honda that they offered him a Grand Prix ride in 1989, with the expectations that he had what it would take to become a world Champion. Unfortunately, following this third race, there was a horrendous accident at Laguna Seca, on the cool down lap that almost cost him his life. We'd like to thank Bubba for his honesty and allowing us to publish this episode in full.
Now on the MotoStarr video podcast, a great insight into America's Three-time AMA Superbike Champion (2006-7-8), and the 2009 World Superbike Champion, which he won in his rookie year with 11 out of 14 pole positions and winning 14 out of 28 of the Championship races. This is Ben Spies. There is much to learn about this Texan, and he has, as he did throughout racing career, has much to offer. As you'll hear in the episode, we'll soon be launching a second podcast show to this feed - the window on the world of motorcycling, where we interview guests from all corners of the globe and aspects of motorcycling. Click subscribe and the first episode of that will be in your podcast feeds very soon! Thank you
Scott Russell, perhaps equally known as “Mr. Daytona", is the quintessential American Racer. His successes are legend. World Superbike Champion, Suzuka 8 hour winner, AMA Superbike Champion, and AMA Supersport Champion, where he won every one of his races in his winning year and a record 23 victories in that class, and likely what he will forever be remembered for, 5 Daytona 200 victories, hence his moniker. Of course, he may also be remembered for his amazing helmet design. Enjoy!
A three-time AMA 750 Supersport Champion, 1992 AMA Superbike Champion, 1993 World Superbike Champion, a two-time 500cc Grand Prix podium finisher, Suzuka 8 Hour winner... oh and five-time Daytona 200 winner, Scott Russell had a hell of a career. Now a competitive cyclist, we caught up with Mr. Daytona for this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to talk about the past, the present and the future.

Josh Hayes is a busy man at the MotoAmerica races with the four-time AMA Superbike Champion watching over several riders, including Bobby Fong and Cameron Petersen, in their quest for stardom as their rider coach. If you watch him during the race weekends, he spends his time trackside and bouncing back and forth between his riders as he imparts his words of wisdom. In this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers and Bice, we were able to delve into some of that wisdom in our conversation with the not-quite-retired former champion.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshhayes4/Twitter: https://twitter.com/hayes131Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/josh.hayes.378Support the show (http://motoamerica.com)

The life and times of Nicky Hayden. We go behind the scenes with an AMA Pro Flat Track winner, AMA Superbike Champion, 2006 MotoGP World Champion and now set to compete in the 2016 FIM World Superbike Championship! Perhaps this is the best possible time to sit down with Nicky to discuss his life and career. The 2015 Inductee in the MotoGP Hall of Fame as a Legend will reflect on his 12 year run in MotoGP. During that ime he was teamed with Dani Pedrosa, Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi twice. 200 GP's, 28 Podiums, 3 wins and the World Championships only tell part of the story. We hope to get the rest of them in this edition of Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone powered by Crosley Brands! If he wins the World Superbike title, Nicky would become the first rider in history to win both WSBK and MotoGP World Championships. Can he pull it off? We get his thoughts. Nicky Hayden is now 34 years old but the competitive fires are still burning. Nicky Hayden photos courtesy of Cycle World
