Episode 30: The Masterclass of Speed: Nick Ienatsch on The Pace, 2-Strokes, & ChampSchool

Motorcycle racing legend, iconic journalist, and Yamaha Champions Riding School founder Nick Ienatsch joins us for Episode 30 of the Bore & Stoke podcast! In this episode, we sit down with one of the most influential figures in American motorcycle coaching. From the frantic grids of AMA 250 GP racing to the peak "golden era" of print magazine testing at Motorcyclist and Sport Rider, Nick Ienatsch has seen, ridden, and written it all. We dive deep into the origin story behind his legendary riding philosophy essay, "The Pace," how raw two-stroke race bikes shaped his view of motorcycle riding and testing, and why the old street-riding myth of "doing all your braking in a straight line" is so incredibly dangerous. Whether you are a street rider looking to survive traffic, a track-day enthusiast looking to improve, or just want to hear some good stories about riding and racing, our conversation with Nick will have you laughing and taking notes at the same time. 00:00 Intro 01:30 Shoutout to past episodes 02:20 Introducing our guest! 08:00 What Nick rides the most 16:00 Where did the motorcycling bug come from? 18:44 Nick’s first roadrace — with no idea what he was doing 21:00 How Nick really got the racing bug 25:56 Are you racing other people or yourself? 28:00 Who’s got the dirty truck? 34:55 How do you know a crash is coming? 39:38 Minibike racing is the best 43:00 Mistakes happen — can you adjust? 52:11 Why racing benefits the moto-journalist 55:40 When Nick knew pro racing wasn’t for him 01:03:41 The secret behind riding Lawson’s 500 that nobody knew 01:12:10 The start of Sport Rider magazine 01:22:20 The Pace and The Pace 2.0 01:29:53 Comparing two-strokes vs four-strokes 01:39:00 Nick’s idea to bring bikes back to Pike’s Peak 01:42:55 Where do you stand on electronic rider aids? 01:50:30 This is what today’s bikes REALLY need 01:53:00 Biggest misconception riders at all levels have 01:57:15 Best practices 01:59:05 MSF new rider school has it all wrong 02:09:00 Where to find Nick and Champ School 02:10:03 Wrap up/Rate us

Episode 29: The Moto-Marketing Roast: Buzzwords, Bias, & Behind-the-Scenes Secrets

How much of what you read and watch about new motorcycles is actually true, and how much is just corporate marketing hype? On this episode of the Bore and Stoke podcast, we tear down the curtain separating motorcycle media from the giant OEM marketing machines. We dive into the corporate side of the landscape, breaking down some of the tactics of how brands try to engineer "hype" before a wheel even turns. Meanwhile, Troy and Ryan share their first-hand, boots-on-the-ground experiences from global press launches. What happens when a manufacturer flies you halfway across the world, puts you up in a luxury hotel, and hands you the keys to a bike on a perfectly curated racetrack? How do you strip away the glamour to figure out if a motorcycle is actually good for the average rider? From the evolution of motorcycle journalism to the rise of influencer culture, the guys debate whether modern bike reviews can still be trusted—and share a few hilarious behind-the-scenes stories along the way. Drop a comment below: Has a manufacturer's marketing ever had any influence on the bike you bought? 00:00 intro 00:27 Honda mention 00:34 pre-roll 01:13 Check out past pods! 02:26 The News! 03:03 Harley moving production back to US 07:53 Honda e-compressor is going into everything 11:47 Yamaha’s taking over Moto3 20:39 Norton Atlas and Atlas GT 28:52 mid-roll 29:35 The landscape of motorcycle marketing 1:07:45 Are you aware of the marketing? 1:09:20 Leave us a rating! 1:10:10 Check out the Bore and Stoke Breakout 1:10:42 Honda mention 1:11:35 End-roll
