The 2022 Pro Motocross Championship Series schedule is here, and let’s hope it’s not tentative. It’s a 12-race series, beginning and ending at Fox Raceway in Pala, Calif. In-between, the series runs from coast to coast.Ken Roczen.

Honda’s Ken Roczen and Chase Sexton will be back, along with Jason Anderson and Adam Cianciarulo riding for Kawasaki. Cooper Webb and Aaron Plessinger are set for KTM, Justin Barcia on GasGas, plus the trio of Zach Osborne, Dean Wilson, and Malcolm Stewart riding for Husqvarna. The Suzuki riders have not been settled, but don’t be surprised to see Justin Bogle, Brandon Hartranft, and Adam Enticknap on the RM-Z450.
The series is broken into three four-race chunks, with a two-week break between High Point and Redbud, and a three-week summer siesta between Washougal and Unadilla.

This Podcast is also brought to you by the new modular helmet from Schuberth, the C5. The C5 blends safety with light weight and amazing quietness. Visit Schuberth.com for more information.
This week, in the first segment Editor Don Williams talks to us about the new Kawasaki Versys 650 LT. It’s the middleweight ADV style machine that uses the same 650 parallel twin motor as the Ninja 650, so it’s an excellent performer in a user-friendly, good looking package.
In the second segment, I chat with one of my dearest industry friends—now retired Honda PR executive, Jon Seidel. Jon’s fascinating career spans some 30 years with Big Red, and gave him some great experiences with some incredible machines. I was fortunate enough to be invited on many of the press launches that he organized. His new project is documenting and saving many of the old archives from years gone by—and incidentally, if you have anything that may be of value to the project, please contact us by email at producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com and we’ll pass it all on to Jon.
So on that note, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
