Welcome everybody to the race tech privateer island life number 23. Thanks for listen. Appreciate it.

A couple weeks ago, I touched base with a buddy of mine and Jason Vernet. We traveled the nationals for a few years.

And so we'll do mostly current privateers on this race tech privateer island life pod.

But I do want to go back in the time machine and talk to some older guys and find out what they

like, what they had to go through, what life was like as a privateer back on the day, and much more,

and have some laughs along the way. Thank you for listening. Racetech suspension. Pulp MX-17 is the code

to save it race tech. Discover why more top privateers trust race tech and mention the code

to get a discount on high performance suspension needs. Of course, they started in 1984. They got the

gold valves. Michael Lessie just used race tech suspension to win a Canadian national this year.

And plenty of top privateers over the years that have used race tech. And we thank you guys for

supporting them. And they got a whole motor department

too as well so please check that out i guess it's engines not motors i don't know anyways uh please

thanks thanks for those guys check them out uh with me on the line a buddy of mine from up in canada

we met in manitoba all those years ago uh he had a nice career on the bike, and we'll talk to a little bit more to him

about, you know, if he could have took it further and more seriously, if he could have done well.

I tell people all the time, one of the best riding styles I think I've seen on a motorcycle,

America or Canada. It's my buddy, Darrell Martins. What's up? Daryl. How are you? Hey, I'm doing pretty good, Steve. Not too bad. How about you?

I'm good, man. Thank you for doing us. Appreciate a little trip down memory lane for us.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Where's your Manitoba plaques?

I just, that is a good question. You know, you were talking about the Manitoba champions in an article a while ago,

and I'm thinking, yeah, I think I want a bunch of those.
