We&#8217;re excited to see new and returning faces on this year&#8217;s IMS tour under Jordan&#8217;s new management.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Jordan Mastagni<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;is a seasoned 20-year veteran in the motorcycle industry as a moto-journalist and most recently the head of sales and marketing at ARCH Motorcycle Company,&nbsp;co-founded by Gard Hollinger and Keanu Reeves.
