Pipe Dreams Podcast - Bradley Smith

Posted on Oct 08, 2025 by George Penny

Sharing the trials & tribulations of motorcycle racers, industry veterans, and more.
Hosted by longtime buddies and current MotoAmerica / American Flat Track racers James Rispoli and Corey Alexander, the latest podcast features Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Bradley Smith.

Few riders have lived more chapters of motorcycle racing than Bradley Smith. From his early days tearing through the 125cc and Moto2 ranks to standing on MotoGP podiums and later becoming one of the sport’s most trusted development riders, Bradley’s story is all about evolution.

He’s one of the rare few to score podiums in 125, Moto2, MotoGP, and MotoE—a career built on adaptability and relentless drive. In this episode, Bradley takes us through it all: the highs and pressures of the Tech3 years, the behind-the-scenes grind of factory testing, and his role in helping BMW develop a championship-winning WorldSBK bike with Toprak.

Now, as he takes on a new challenge in MotoAmerica’s King of the Baggers with Harley-Davidson, Bradley opens up about chasing relevance, purpose, and passion in a sport that never stops evolving.
