Race season is right around the corner for me and you have no idea how excited I am at the thought of being able to get on my motorcycle and start turning some laps. My exercise routine (P90X) is being kicked into high gear as I prepare to hang on and push my 370 pound/ 152 horsepower beast to the limit.
I am often asked do you really have to be in shape to ride a motorcycle. Well, no, unless you want to ride it well. Below I have posted some on board video footage of AMA champion Mat Mladin as he turns a couple of hot laps at Road Atlanta. From this camera view you can get a sense of just how much racing motorcycles can beat up on your body.
