The DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio…The #1 Motorcycle Show in the US

Supercross 2019 schedule is out and there are 3 new stops!
Tom Sykes where is he going at the end of the year.

THIS is hard to believe! Phil wants to punch his man-crush, JD Beach, in the face! Phil is upset that Jiggy Dog did not race in the Oakland Supercross. Which he would have totally won had he entered!
There is going to be a World Superbike Race in Ireland for 2019. Does that mean that they are going to drop another race or just add another stop?
Supercross finally gives us what the DawgHouse has called for, an early start to a west coast race. It was so early that Warren missed the early heats! Big P, Aaron Plessinger and Jason Anderson take care of business while Eli Tomac still struggled

The DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio…The #1 Motorcycle Show in the US
This week another interesting motorcycle podcast/show.
Dateline Kenya: What do you do if your motorcycle is stolen in Kenya? Call the local witch doctor! In this case the guys discuss a recent event where the witch doctor actually comes though and finds the stolen bike…. Or does he?
Dateline Electric Bikes (kind of): It seems we are talking about a new electric vehicle every third show or so, this time Morgan Motors is the latest to offer an electric motorcycle. Well motorcycle or trike or autocycle, the Morgan 1909 falls in that weird category that that the T-Rex or SlingShot also fills. One thing for sure is that the Ken and Phil have no love for the appearance of the electric version of the classic motorcycle.
Dateline The Space Age: Graphene is one of the newest “space-age” materials. Strong, light, heat resistant and able to leap tall building in a single bound, graphene has made it to the world of motorcycles. The guys talk about MOMO’s attempt to integrate graphene into helmets that are reasonably priced.
Dateline Stupid Rules: In the racing segment Phil brings up the topic of the new rules for World SuperBike motorcycle racing. It seems that the “participation trophy” generation has come to WBSK. No one on the show how the lack of achievement will now be rewarded.
In fact we think that there could be fight between the 3rd 4th and 5th place riders to finish 4th….don’t understand? Listen to the show.

This week Ken completes his list of the top 11 motorcycle makers (by sheer number produced). I was surprised that Royal Enfield was not one of those eleven!
Next we discuss the maybe, possible resurrection of Birmingham Small Arms, better known as BSA. BSA started in the 1860s making guns and then added bicycles, then motorcycles and at one time made cars, buses, tools among a long list of things.
The BSA brand was bought by the Indian company Mahindra and it is our hope that we might see BSA motorcycles on the road sometime in the not to distance future.
Next up is a review of the results of World Superbike, Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP racing.
You can listen to the show HERE!
OK… the boys at Dawghouse Radio have made me a fan of motorcycle racing.
A while back I wrote a post regarding how I was not a fan motorcycle racing and why I did not care for it. That post got me an interview on the DawgHouse which led to a hosting spot. My view on road racing began to change the more I began to pay attention to the racing in order to be better prepared for the podcast.
It really started during the MOTOGP and World Superbike 2015 racing seasons. There was a lot excitement all season long. Mark Marquez and Valentino Rossi feuding, Jorge Lorenzo working hard to be the champ was engrossing. Combine that with World Superbikes Johnathan Rea’s utter domination of that series and the motorcycle racing world just pulled me in.
Motorcycle racing also pulled my wife in as well. The bug did not bite her for road 
racing but for Supercross and to a lesser extent Motocross. She and I have sat on the couch and watched the 2016 Champ Ryan Dungey and the rest give it their all every weekend. This year Debbie and I have watched all of the Supercross events and have even discussed going to one next year.
I still hold to some of my original thoughts about motorcycle racing in the US. One of the reasons, I think, that Supercross is so popular is that all the spectators can see all (or almost all) the track at one time something you can’t do at motocross and road racing events.
I also think a racing series limited to V-twins running on some of the NASCAR short track would take off in short amount of time. This would be a little reminiscent of the old board track days. Harley, Indians, Victory, Star and all the others going at it on a short oval would be a lot of fun to watch.
In addition to the MotoGP and World Superbike I have also been viewing MotoAmerica. Even though I have only been watching for the last year, I can tell that a high level American series is really needed to help propel American racers to the world stage. The racing on the American circuit has been fun to watch and I hope they will be able to expand their reach soon.
So, twist the throttle, I am now a motorcycle racing fan
