Talking Motorcycles with Danny Walker/Bobby Fong/MotoAmerica Rd 2

Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone

The Suzuki ECSTAR Championship at Road Atlanta is the first "Stand Alone" event for MotoAmerica in 2017. Following a successful outing with MotoGP at Circuit of the America's, the tractor trailer rigs have rolled into the rolling hillsides of Road Atlanta! In this episode of Talking Motorcycles we take a look backwards to the Round 1 in Austin and review what happened there. We then begin to look ahead to this weekend in Atlanta and beyond. There are many story lines developing already in 2017 and we will advance two of those in this episode. The Latus Motors Racing Quicksilver Lubricants Team has begun 2017 much as they ended 2016. They are exceeding everyone's expectations, except perhaps their own, as they have the Bazaaz Superstock 1000 points lead and are beating some very good Superbike teams in the process. Bobby Fong appears to have brought his A Game in 2017 and we check in with him in this edition of the show. Danny Walker has embarked on a new adventure in 2017 with a switch to the all new Honda CBR1000RR. Walker reduced expectations pre-season by discussing that this will be a development year for the team with the switch to Honda and the lack of parts availablity in the early season. They have great chemistry with Scott Jensen leading the charge in developing the new Honda big bore and their experienced rider Jake Gagne. COTA may not have produced the results they were hoping for but Walker is a proven winner and one of the most determine team owners in the sport. We look forward to checking in with DW pre-Atlanta!
