    CVMA R7 Race Recap 2025-2026 Season [S3 E4]

    Go to Patreon.com/monkimoto for ad free content! The CVMA 2025-2026 season finished with round 7 on April 24, 25, and 26. Many of the racers who have been on the podcast took home trophies and some with championships. Overall, this year was a test for many, with major crashes mid year for a few and bikes not working how they should. Excitement from PRs and close races were captured on YouTube with 951 Live. All the while, comradery and the supportive paddock gathered each month, out in Desert Center, CA. For this round, I interviewed Ian Tam, Anthony Estrada, John Pecson and Mike Hale. I want to thank Ana with the Honu Marshals for having me on her safety team for the rounds I was able to attend. I also want to thank Part Time Racers for their care every weekend I spent in the desert. Thanks for listening! This is the first season I covered each race round and I think it went great.

    Kira Knebel: Honing a Champion’s Mindset in MotoAmerica BTR [S3 E2]

    Kira Knebel joins me to talk about some of the back story behind her 2025 MotoAmerica Championship with the BTR Class. Her simple desire to ride on the street turned into a calculated passion for learning on the racetrack. She eventually made it to MotoAmerica with Royal Enfield: Build Train Race program. In this conversation we talk about what it looks like to race at the American pro level, how the BTR does great things and a bit on how it can improve. We dive into the perception of the female rider and racer, plus talk about how women are changing the narrative within motorsports today.

    SEASON 3 OPENER! Moto Culture: The Promoter Perspective - Reverse Interview [S3 E1]

    Thank you so much for listening to season 2 of Monki Moto Pod! It was more than I could hope for and it persists into year 3! When I was a kid, I idolized Smokey the Bear. A large brown bear with a marketing purpose. The United States Parks service used the image of the brown bear to educate the public on wildfire prevention. Each 4th of July, I'd see Smokey (probably a dude in a suit) walking and waving to kids, accompanied by two wheeled machines, fire engines, and police vehicles. I came from a very small town, so this was exciting to me at the time. Now I find myself at a point in my life where I can walk in my own parade and I choose yet again to continue documenting stories as told by the moto community. I'm telling more of my story today, hoping that those who see and listen will be inspired... or at least entertained! Season 3 will have more of the same stuff - talking story with motorcycle people who do rad s**t!

    Work Hard, Race Harder: First SRA GP Off-Road Race with Mark Jardiolin [S2 E49]

    Mark and I had one hectic week. Between business ownership and day jobs, plus our plumbing needed a major repair we didn't feel ready to race at Golden State Championship. Racing was part of the weekend plan, so I looked elsewhere for the challenge we were hoping for and signed up for SRA GP at Glen Helen Raceway. Big hill surprises, baby bird omelets, and finding our limits were some of the great highlights of the weekend. Tune in and find out how mailboxes on snowy hills can relate. Thank you to Abbie for encouraging me to race the SRA GP. Thank you to Andrew for helping fix my dirt bike exhaust leak. Thank you to Mark for taking pics, supporting my dreams, and being an enthusiastic partner. ........................................................
