In this first segment Don Williams give us the low down on the new Low Rider S. Harley introduced the new Softails a few months ago, and I have to say, I was really impressed. The Low Rider is styled very similar to the Dyna of old, and in recent years, that has been the bike of choice for go-fast customization in the so-called ‘Club’ style. But, truth is, any tweaked out Dyna won’t hold a candle to the Low Rider S; this new generation of Softail is absolutely not the Softail of old.

We’re in the height of the racing season right now with MotoGP, World Superbike, and Moto America events taking place all over the world. Many of those riders at the pinnacle of the sport choose an Arai helmet to protect them. Why do you think that is? Well, Arai’s mission has always been the protection and comfort of every person who chooses an Arai helmet. Arai’s foundational principles of protection first, exceptional quality, and rider comfort have never been forgotten, in over six decades of helmet design and manufacturing. Arai helmets are comfortable for sure, but first and foremost, protection is the critical reason to wear an Arai. The Snell Standard, said to be the strictest in the world, only has a 17mph drop speed for the shock absorption test. As riders, we ride faster than that on a daily basis. So there’s more to it than just a straight drop test. In the unlikely event of a crash, Arai knows it is vital to slide and avoid those direct impacts as much as possible, to reduce the amount of impact energy that enters the helmet as much as possible. There’s a lot of reasons why you should join the most demanding riders in the world and wear an Arai helmet. To learn more, visit www.AraiAmericas.com

Our guest this episode is Camille Conrad. The daughter of actor Robert Conrad, Camille is a go-getter in every sense of the word; when she sets her mind at something it seems nothing will stop her. She had an unconventional upbringing, and in her teens she was a competitive skier, qualifying for the Junior Olympics. Then she discovered motorcycles. She is now coming to the end of her second year in the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race program and she has done really well. Teejay chats with Camille and tries to find out what really makes her tick.
