Podcast 363: Talking Superbikes with Champion Racer Wes Cooley

Published: April 13, 2020, 4:49 a.m.

b"This week on our motorcycle podcast we talk with AMA Hall of Fame racer Wes Cooley. Wes got an early start in racing, and was there for the early days of the AMA Superbike racing series. He raced for Pops Yoshimura, first on a Kawasaki, but then moving to the Suzuki GS1000S that won him the championship in '79 and '80. He had a 15 year career, racing against legends like Freddie Spencer, Kevin Lawson, Reg Pridmore and more. But it was a crash in '85 that ultimately ended his career. He shares stories from his illustrious career, and kept us mesmerized the whole time. He is a legend himself, and possibly the nicest person we've ever interviewed. \\nWith Liza, Bagel, Nak, Naked Jim and Miss Emma.\\nhttp://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.aspx?RacerID=315\\nGo to www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com to find the links to our Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Patreon and more.
