Ever wonder who has pony magic? The answer is simple ... my Pony Pals! There are two types of people in this world ... those who "get it" and those who don't. Pony Pals get it because they know what's up. Check 'em out ...
Here is my Pony Pal Steve Rapp. No, he doesn't perform with the all-male review "Thunder From Down Under". Rather, he rocks the racetrack and took the Sunshine State by storm in 2007 by winning the Daytona 200. Try a two-up ride with the Rapper sometime ... you'll feel the pony magic.

This is my Pony Pal Jake Zemke (#98) with his replica pony in hand. If you don't know Jake, he is Team Honda's superstar who won the 2006 AMA Formula Xtreme Championship. He is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet AND a cool dad! He's full of pony magic.
|
This is my pony pal Jimmy Wood. Not only is he totally adorable, Jimmy is a Flat Track Champion AND he rocks on the roadrace track. You can also find Jimmy at Jason Pridmore's STAR School, where he instructs students on track while off-track he and Pony Pony work on their dance grooves.

Here you see pony pal Steve Rapp. No, Steve doesn't perform with the all-male review, "Thunder From Down Under". Rather, he rocks the racetrack and took the Sunshine State by storm in '07 by winning the Daytona 200. If you're lucky enough to get a two-up ride from the Rapper you'll feel the pony magicHe These are my pony pals Robertino Pietri and Jason Pridmore. Super sassy Venezuelan Robertino races AMA Supersport for the Roadracing World team and loves ponies. Jason, who needs no introduction won't admit to loving ponies but will secretly kiss his when no one is looking.
|
This is my pony pal James Lickwar (or "Lick" as we like to call him). Lick splits his time teaching at the STAR School and being Robertino Pietri's Crew Chief. Lick can also throw the meanest underhanded pitch I have ever seen and plays wiffle ball like a pro. When I talk about "pony magic" I always think of Lick.
|
Here you see Chad Lewin kissing the Jordan team pony. Chadster (as I like to call him) knows all about pony magic and won't deny it. He races AMA supersport and makes some guest appearances at select club races where he usually wins ... the races and all the chicks. He's a babe magnet ... mainly due to his ponyrificness. |
This is my pony pal Hawk Mazzotta who races AMA Supersport. Hawk and I both have Osage Indian in our blood so we formed an endurance team appropriately named, "The Osage Nation". Hawk has pony magic running through his veins and knows how to freak it on the dancefloor. |
This is my pony pal Cory West. Cory rocks AMA Supersport on his R6 and does some guest appearances at club races where he kicks my ass. I don't mind though because he's a total doll and isn't too much of a snob to play nerf with me after the big race!
|
This is my pony pal Chuck Giacchetto. Chuck is Cory West's previous mechanic and has the gift of making me laugh everytime I see him. Chuck is down with the ponies and is overflowing with pony magic!

Here you see my pal Dave Stanton. Dave rocks an R1 at AFM races where he has been #1 for five years in Formula Pacific and Heavyweight Superbike. Winning races since '93, Stanton also lends his expertise instructing at Jason Pridmore's STAR School, where he is also man enough to rock glitter nail polish. |
This is my pal Chris Siglin. He has raced AMA, CCS, WERA, AFM and WSMC winning the majority of his races and holds the 600cc lap records at Thunderhill and Buttonwillow. He's not only one of the nicest guys in the paddock but also the cutest (as seen above). Chris has pony magic!
|
This is pony pal Jimmy Filice, resting up before his big Moto-ST race. Jimmy races on the Pair A Nines team but you may know him from one of his 29 AMA national wins or maybe as a three-time AMA 250 GP champion or maybe as a Motorcycle Hall of Famer. If you don't know him you're a dork. Jimmy is full of pony magic! |
This is my pony pal Justin Filice, son of Jimmy. Justin is the spawn of greatness and rocks the racetrack just like his dad. Jimmy races AMA Supersport and throws a mean nerf spiral. All the ponies have a crush on him too because he's down with the magic AND suuuper cute.
|
This is my pal Greg White. Yes, he has hair now (seen here) which gives him pony approval. You probably know Greg from The SPEED Channel or maybe from some super cool AMA after party. We love Greg because he has the most adorable dimples ever (seen here) as well as "personality plus".
|
This is pony pal Gary Nixon. Gary is the man in charge of the Pair A Nines Moto-ST team but is better known for his 19 AMA National roadracing victories, being a Motorcycle Hall of Famer and for being so popular wit' the ladies. The ponies loooove him and he loves the ponies (as seen above).
|
This is pony pal Jay Springsteen. Jay races on the Moto-ST Pair A Nines team with Jimmy Filice. Jay is also a 30-time AMA Grand National flat-track racer and Motorcycle Hall of Famer. You can imagine how much ass the Pair A Nines team kicks. He's got the magic!
|
This is my pony pal Scott Russell (a.k.a. "Mr. Daytona"). If you don't know, Scott is a 5-time Daytona 200 winner, 1992 AMA Superbike Champion, 1992 AMA Pro Athlete of the Year, 1993 World Superbike Champion, 1993 Suzuka 8-Hours winner and he was inducted in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2005. Need I say more? The guy has pony magic! |
This is my pony pal Jeff Tigert. Jeff races AMA and AFM as well as tests for Honda. He also loves sushi and my ponies. He's totally down with the magic.
|
This is my pony pal Brad Coleman. Brad instructs at the Kevin Schwantz school and rides like the wind. He also has a really cute southern accent and is full of pony magic.
|
These are my pony pals Steve Atlas and Chris Ulrich. Steve is a motojournalist for Cycle News and rides like a bat out of hell. Chris writes for Roadracing World and races AMA. They are both cute and sassy and love the ponies! |
This is my pony pal Chris Hesse. Chris is the drummer for the band Hoobastank and also rocks the WERA races on his R6. He's the most down to earth rocker I have ever met AND loves my home-baked cookies. He's got the pony magic. |
This is my pony pal Geoff Tate. Geoff (pronounced "Jeff") is the lead singer for Drama-Metal-Core band Queensryche and likes to rock motorcycles. He also loves ponies and ponies love him ... especially when he wears black eyeliner! Yowza. |
This is my pony pal Mark Gallardo, head honcho of Jason Pridmore's STAR School. Mark won't admit it but he's the fastest guy around on an SV ... mainly because he's got pony magic. Mark is coaching me to become a fast pony while I SCHOOL him at Scrabble. |
This is my pony pal Kent Kunitsugu (a.k.a. Kent-o), Editor-in-Chief of Sport Rider magazine. Kento is the fastest journalist around AND when we used to work on the same floor, he could always answer my random questions like "How many teeth are on the stock 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 750 countershaft sprocket Kento?". He didn't even have to look it up ... Kent-o just knows. |
This is my pony pal Andrew Trevitt, Senior Editor of Sport Rider magazine, with his replica pony in Qatar. Andrew has so much pony magic it's a joke. He even feeds his pony dark chocolate when no one is around. Andrew also has the gift of knowing the answer to any question you ask him relating to motorcycles. He is a Canadian sensation.
|
This is my pony pal Aaron Frank from Motorcyclist magazine. Aaron rules and he will kiss a pony in front of anyone! He also pulls some mad stand-up wheelies and is a dad to two of the most adorable girls the world has ever seen... totally pony.
|
These are my really good pony pals Monte Lutz and Bonnie Strawser, owners of Sportbike Track Time and Femmoto. Bonnie and Monte are a total hoot so if you have an opportunity to go to one of their track days or Femmoto do it! You won't be disappointed. |
These are my pony pals Mark and Dori Duncan. Mark owns The Track Club/Club Desmo and is sooooo super sweet! He also went to Italy to personally deliver Loris Capirossi his custom pony that I made. They are sooo magical!!
