Creative Riding Episode 94 “The Gentleman and the Wizard”
Motorcycle rides, races, flat track, interviews… we’ve got it all.
Welcome to episode 94.
In this episode we talk to a couple riders. One on the street, one on the track.
The Gentleman is none other than legendary mile-gobbler Paul “Bri Viffer”. He recounts his experience on the 2017. Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. If you’ve never done the DGR before, it’s a ride that was started by Mark Hawwa of Australia in 2012. Initially it was just a ride to show the general public that hipsters on vintage bikes aren’t the wankers that sport bike squids and Harley Outlaw Bikers are. After the success of the first year’s ride, however, Hawwa quickly decided that the ride could be used to support a worthy cause.
In 2013 the DGR partnered with the Movember foundation to raise awareness for prostate cancer, and later would include mens mental health awareness. The ride has grown from 2,500 riders in 2012 to 56,000 riders worldwide in 2016. I can’t wait to see what the 2017 numbers yield. For more information on the DGR you can follow these links:

The second interview on this week’s show is with another mile-gobbler, but this one’s a little different. He gobbles dirt miles, along with TTs, and smaller ovals. Co-Host Chris Wiggins took over interview duties at Perris Raceway this week, and had a sit-down with AFT privateer Jeffrey Carver Jr. – The Wizard!!
Turns out Wiggins has some great interviewing chops, and Carver is a dude with a thousand stories, all of them good.
Both Chris and Jeffery will be out at Perris Auto Speedway (not Raceway) ripping in the RSD National Hooligan Flat Track Series, and the AFT National Flat Track series respectively. It ought to be a radical night of sideways action, and hopefully both riders can put in podium finishes. Good luck to both of you, I know you’ve worked hard to get where you are. And Jeffrey, remember the words of another powerful wizard when you’re out there tomorrow night – “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!” ~ Gandalf.
