Have to say that I loved this interview, and really surprised I'm the first to comment. Troy is an amazing talent and to have him ride a factory Indian bagger is really exciting. In fact, bagger racing in the States reminds me of the '70s and '80s superbike racing in the US and Oz: huge engines in a fairly stock frame...made for truly exciting racing. OK, so the bagger category is a lot different, but the concept is the same...huge engines in a machine everyone wants to ride, albeit with a lot of mods to make them handle. But boy is this category exciting to watch...and with Aussie Troy at the helm of the factory Indian effort, I can't wait for the next race. Nearly forgot to mention, that he's riding in the Super Hooligan class too. I think his performance at Daytona shocked a lot of people, as it was not only his first time at the track but his first outing on the 180hp, 600Ib beast. Well done Troy and all the best for the season ahead. BTW...well done on the interview Mick: nice, laid-back style, and your interaction with Troy was top-notch!
Thanks for listening and the feedback is spot on about the Superbike era of 70's and 80's in the USA. Hopefully we are getting a modern insight into that now :)
Really Cool customer 17 💪
