Twisted ASBK Interviews | Jed Metcher

Twisted ASBK Interviews

With the current break in racing activity, which hopefully will be over soon! We thought it a good idea to roll out this series that I dubbed ‘Twisted ASBK Interviews’. 

This is a somewhat comedic departure from the norm that hopes to shed some light into the personalities of ASBK Superbike riders.

Some of these were conducted in person at the track earlier this year, while others were conducted over the phone. 

A few of them certainly got me laughing out loud and I hope you view them through the prism of good fun they were taken in. This time around it is Jed Metcher’s turn to answer the curly questions.
