#071 Marc Wilson - Track Days, Full Factory Experience

MARC WILSON is the operations manager for MEGA which runs ride days at Sydney Motorsport Park and Phillip Island GP Circuit. He is also a senior coach with the California Superbike School and one very knowledgeable bloke when it comes to motorcycle riding on track. In this episode, Marc and Jorge discussed Marc's recent experiences at The Bend racetrack, where Marc had ridden the full 35 corner circuit and found it impressive with a good balance of technical sections and fast flowing areas. They explored the growing presence of women in motorsport, with Marc noting increased participation in Mega's events and the success of their women's only ride day. The conversation covered Mega's expansion to offer both BMW and Ducati hire bikes, including the development of a premium "full factory experience" package with dedicated support and personalised setup for riders seeking that level of experience. Marc shared details about his ongoing project building and testing a BMW S1000RR with various modifications, including data logging equipment, to help riders understand optimal setup parameters. They also discussed tyre management strategies and the importance of proper traction control settings for different riding conditions.

#069 Andrew Smart - Race and Road, Ricondi

ANDREW SMART is brains behind the Ricondi leathers brand here in Australia, and the Race and Road motorcycle gear business. In this episode Andrew and Jorge chatted about all things associated with leathers and various aspects of motorcycle safety as it applies mainly to both track and street riders. They covered topics including leather versus textile, air bags, impact protection, helmets, and even Jorge’s tin foil hat conspiracy thought that Yamaha might be running an 850 already in MotoGP. Would be interesting to find out that was actually true.

#066 Mike Jones and Steve Brouggy - The Pro-Rider Coach Relationship

MIKE JONES and STEVE BROUGGY: These two champions have been working together in a coach / pro-rider relationship for a long time now. It began way back when Mike was learning his craft through the California Superbike School under the tutelage of Steve, evolved into a formal relationship where Steve supported Mike personally and also with the aid of Pro-level Coach Adam Raffe, and has progressed now to where we have Mike riding in ASBK right up at the pointy end of the field and Steve providing coaching support in tweaking the well refined riding of a talented champion. Enjoy this discussion, I’m sure there’s something interesting in it for everyone who seeks to improve their riding and even their coaching. ————— STEVE BROUGGY https://www.facebook.com/steve.brouggy1 MIKE JONES https://mikejonesracing.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mikejonesracingfanpage https://www.instagram.com/mikejonesracing ASBK CHAMPIONSHIP For more information visit - https://www.asbk.com.au/ ————— EPISODE SPONSORS The Bike Stig YouTube Channel: - https://www.youtube.com/thebikestig Ride Days Phillip Island - https://www.phillipislandridedays.com.au/ Ride Days SMSP - https://www.smsprd.com/ ————— PODCAST VIDEO To view this podcast and snippets on video, visit our YouTube channel podcast playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBikeStig/podcasts ————— PRODUCTS WE USE AND SUPPORT SC Project Exhausts - https://sc-project.com.au Kustom Cockpits - https://kustomcockpits.com/ Metzeler Tyres - https://www.metzeler.com/en-au/home Pirelli Tyres - https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-au/motorcycle/homepage Ricondi Leathers - https://www.raceandroad.com.au Ride Dynamics - https://ridedynamics.com.au CSS Australia - https://www.superbikeschool.com.au Ilmberger Carbon - https://ilmberger-carbon.de/Start.aspx Jetprime - https://jetprime.com.au S1K Racing - https://s1000kracing.com.au Bitubo Race Suspension - https://www.bitubo.com.au/ SA1NT Clothing - https://www.saint.cc ————— AUDIO The music on this podcast is used under license from Artlist - License Number 248442 ————— TAGS #trackdays #ridecoach #motoedition #podcast #riderseries #trackcoach #ASBK #MM46 #mikejonesracing #stevebrouggy #ridedays
