Skip Norfolk
Mike Gosselaar
(yup, I'd like to hear from mechanics... weird eh?)
David Vuilleman (sp? you know... that cobra guy)
John Dowd
Steve Lamson
Michael Pichon

There's plenty more.. but I'll cut my list short.

Thanks for doing these things... I'ts nice to work while listening to them.

Ernie- Spoke to him at Vegas about it, he's on the list
Skip and Goose- Not sure how many people want to hear from mechs...
DV12- Did one, search Itunes for Racer X Canada
Dowd- Good one!
Lammy- Soon, real soon.
Pichon- Not sure
Dobb- Good one, calls to Euro are $ man!

Yeah... Doug Henry too. I thought one was done already, but that might have been on dmxs.


You should know that mechanics have good stories too (you are/were one). They know the behind the scenes stuff at the races. The racers usually focus on the race itself (which is not bad, but I find the things the mechanics, trainers and managers have to say are pretty interesting). Not to mention Gosselaar has worked with Lamson, Lusk, Carmichael, Alessi and Reed. How can he not have good stories?


Anyway... please keep doing them. I'm a huge fan and they make sitting at my desk at work much more tolerable.

There's no way these rider dudes have Skype or know what to do with it. I don't think the quality is there either in the limited times I've used it.

Check Itunes for Bailey and Bradshaw ones, they're under Racer X Canada.
I think my two favorite ones I've done are Bradshaw cause he was so honest and talked for a long time and JMB because no one has gotten much out of him.
Glover was a surprise, he was great. Very detailed and I got a ton of emails, texts, calls about that him.
Reed, Stewie and Brooks are good ones also!

Thanks for the Everts interview, his comment on racing the US Nats for Suzuki was interesting.


Agreed on the mechanics, let's hear from them too.

One of the podcasts mentioned that Keith Bowen has some really nutty stories- let's hear them!

It'd also be good to hear from:
Brad Lackey
Danny LaPorte
Gary Bailey
Rex Staton
Kent Howerton
Mike Bell
Super Hunky (while he's still alive!!!)
Dick Burleson
Chuck Sun
Tony D
Jeff Emig
Malcom Smith
Rick Johnson
Heikki Mikkola
Joel Robert
Marty Smith
Jeff Ward
And more...

For my top pick, I've already e-mailed you this idea, but I'll put it out on the forum for comment:
DeCoster, but in 3 segments.
1) The GP years.
2) The Nationals.
3) Team manager years.
I can't think of anyone who's moto career has spanned a longer period of time, and who has had a greater influence in the sport. Interviews with The Man would be super.


I tend to want to hear from the older crowd that's no longer right in the middle of racing. Since comments from today's riders can affect tomorrow's contract negotiations, it seems that they would be less inclined to really lay it all out there. Old guys usually don't give a damn, they're more comfortable in who they are, and with what they've done.

Chuck Norris doesn't take questions.....he gives the answer and let's you figure it out.

+1 on the mechanics and Dowdy.

Regarding Skype, do you have a cable modem? Skype normally works very well but I do know a few cable modem users (frame relay network) that have had issues.

Regarding technical expertise, if a person can use a PC and can buy a VoIP headset they're golden.

Not sure about Pichon? As a friend and total fan of the guy, i may be a bit biaised but how come a former 125 SX and world champion never afraid to speak his mind wouldn't do a great show? Plus he's such a fan and historian of the sport he knows anything, and can go fast (and win) on any kind of bike and any kind of races. I know he's not in very good terms with the Coombs family, but i still think he'd make a heck of a show!
The guy has been misunderstood in USA and deserve more than what he got. Come on Steve, give the guy a call. I can hook you up with the number if you need.

Maybe Matthes and Pichon have history?

If so, Matthes could always have Mitch host that one. Smile

I think that Marc Dereuver would easy be the best interview. Pichons allways a straight talker too

I said Pichon in my original post because I thought he would be very interesting to hear from. So many stories that guy has. Like diving off a bike on a supercross triple at full height or the whole punching the guy that led team honda to let him go. Or even the world titles. I think he's got a lot to say. He worked with Pro Circuit kawi, Suzuki and Honda when he was here plus he just had/ has great style.

Is Dobb still managing Tommy Searle? Pretty sure he has links with Monster Energy aswell, but whatever, he seems to spend alot of time in the states anyhow. Im sure you could find him at the races. He's probably welcome the offer too.

Roger was on DMXS and it was a great interview! Totally open and candid, way beyond what i expected and was not afraid to comment on anything or anyone. Get ahold of "the man" baby!

I would love to hear from Joe Oehlhof. He was on DMXS a few times after he broke his neck, and now I haven't heard anything on him after he basically retired.

Another vote for Matt Walker too.
