Ep.62 Steve Olson, Racing Motorcycles Isn’t Easy

Today, we had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Olson, a seasoned motorcycle racing and bike preparation professional. Steve's expertise lies in prepping motorcycles for beginners and competitive riders, and he shares some of the intricate internal work that goes into crafting a track bike. He challenges the notion of 'If it’s OEM, you better have a good reason for throwing it out' and takes us back to the 'good old days' of motorcycle racing when securing sponsors was a more straightforward task. We also delve into the fascinating speed differentials between a liter (1000cc) bike and some of the fastest cars around Gingerman and the unique challenges that motorcycle racing presents.  Steve’s Links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/solson441/ Turn One Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinBurkeRacing Sportbike Tracktime: https://www.sportbiketracktime.com/ This episode is presented by Fuel Lab ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fuelab.com/  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Socials Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/professionalawesomeracing/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/2950472345184860 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professionalawesome.com⁠⁠
