<p>Pipe Dreams Podcast is back for Episode 27 with Peter Hickman, one of the fastest road racers in the world and a dominant force in the Isle of Man TT. Growing up around motorcycles with a father who was a racer himself, Hickman’s journey into professional racing seemed almost inevitable. He made his British Superbike Championship debut in 2004 and quickly became known for his speed, skill, and adaptability across various disciplines of racing.</p><p>Hickman cemented his name in road racing history with his record-breaking performances at the Isle of Man TT, where he holds the fastest lap ever recorded at an average speed of 136.358 mph. With multiple TT wins, standout performances at the North West 200 and Macau Grand Prix, and success in the British Superbike Championship, he has proven himself as one of the most versatile and fearless riders on the grid. Beyond racing, Hickman has taken on new challenges, including owning his own team and putting together a competitive program with Triumph ahead of the Daytona 200.</p><p>In this conversation, Hickman shares his thoughts on what it takes to push the limits on some of the most dangerous tracks in the world, the mindset required for road racing, and the challenges of balancing BSB with real-road competition. He also discusses the growth of his PHR Performance shop back home, where he helps develop and tune high-performance motorcycles in addition to the foundation of his own 8-Ten Racing team in partnership with fellow BSB / Road-Racer, Davey Todd.</p><p>Follow @pipedreams_pod on social media!</p><p>____________________________________________________________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p>Please support our partners: Law Tigers Motorcycle Attorney's: If you ever find yourself in an incident that may or may not require legal representation please call 1-800-Law-Tigers.</p><p>- No recovery, no fee for personal injury claims, and no expenses unless there is a recovery.</p><p>- Fees calculated as a percentage of the gross recovery.- FREE representation for motorcycle property damage claims</p><p>- FREE advice on all motorcycle matters </p><p>For more info visit https://lawtigers.com</p><p>____________________________________________________________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p>Yuasa Battery: Setting the standard for powersports batteries since 1979.
