Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.
In this episode of 'The Motoring Historian' with Jon Summers, he is joined by returning guest John Garcia, delving into the niche world of Irish road racing. The show begins by recounting personal motorcycle anecdotes and transitions to a discussion about the unique culture of road racing in Ireland, contrasting it with more mainstream events like the Isle of Man TT. John Garcia shares his recent experiences riding in Ireland, highlighting the grassroots nature of the sport and his participation in a local motorcycle rally. The narrative also addresses the challenges facing this form of motorsport, including safety and insurance issues. Additionally, there are side stories of memorable motorcycle rides, encounters with local characters, and personal reflections on the changing landscape of San Francisco's motorcycling community.
