Freddie Spencer recently made a dream of mine come true: my dream of riding with a Grand Prix legend. That's right, I spent two days riding the back roads of Alabama with the man himself aboard a Honda CB1000F. Between rides, Spencer told me what he'd been up to lately and dropped that he'd been coaching Bill Burr, and since then, I have been waiting for this video to drop.
It wasn't just that I wanted more moto content to watch; I wanted to see how these two opposing characters would get on together. Spencer, or 'Fast Freddie' as he's known, is an AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame rider with three Grand Prix world championship titles to his name. I also think he'd have been a successful guided meditation leader, as he has one of the warmest, gentlest, and most calming ways of being and speaking that I've ever experienced. Then, there's Bill Burr.
