Here on the Motorcycle Radio Network, we admire guts.  Having the guts to do that triple jump on your new motocross bike?  That’s guts.  Pushing an unknown one-of-a-kind flat track bike to a win in one of its first races?  That will qualify you too.  How about quitting your career, selling all of your stuff and moving to the Isle of Man for a year to realize your childhood dream of competing in the TT?  Most certainly, that takes guts.  Which is exactly what noted motorcycle journalist Mark Gardiner did, and it’s at the heart of why we wanted the author of Riding Man to come on our show.  The events at the Isle of Man TT ended this past weekend, and we felt that we needed an expert to give us a deeper dive into the results and the happenings from this year’s races. As always, Mark didn’t disappoint.  You’ll hear our interview with him as he fills Bill and Todd B in on what it is like to carry triple-digit speeds into blind corners and rises on the TT course, how some riders are riding the course like a circuit course (complete with late apexes off of hedgerows and brick walls), and the TT organizer’s refusal to acknowledge the times where the pursuit of speed on the island has tragic results.  Our podcast with moto-journalist extraordinare Mark Gardiner can be found here.   If you're sick of riding your sportbike on group cruiser rides with your girlfriend draped over you like a backpack, head over to UltimateMotorCycling.com to enter this year’s best contest.  We’re helping Honda give away everything you’ll need to go cruising in style.  Picture yourself on a new 2010 Honda Stateline on Dunlop tires, wearing a new HJC Helmet, Tourmaster jacket and gloves and covered by a Western Services Contracts Extended Warrany.  Somebody is going to win this spectacular prize and YOU have just as good a chance as anyone.  Enter today!
