Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maher Maso: Balancing Civic Duty with Riding Time
Q: What drew you to motorcycle riding despite a demanding political career?
He describes riding as a rare reset and a way to stay grounded, with powerful counterpoints to the pressures of leadership, while also highlighting how it fits into a life of public service.
A-U-T-O-matic: Rick Kallmayer
Q: How do you balance safety and the new tech on busy urban roads?
The automatic clutch frees attention for surroundings, but you still practice slow-speed and situational awareness, using manual overrides when you want sportier control.
A-U-T-O-matic: Rick Kallmayer
Q: Why did you decide to go with a DCT motorcycle, given your long history with clutch-based bikes?
I was curious about the technology and also dealing with a bad left hand; the DCT offers clutchless operation that reduces hand strain while still allowing manual control if desired.
Elizabeth Waltman: Racing at 70
Q: What keeps you going after injuries?
She describes a deep passion for riding, coaching younger riders, and the ongoing learning that keeps her engaged, along with the support and community around track riding.
Elizabeth Waltman: Racing at 70
Q: How did you start racing at 66?
Elizabeth explains that a track course was suggested by her husband, she fell in love with the track experience, and the numbers on bikes she saw made her realize racing was achievable with training and coaching.
