Podcast 646: Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are joined by the wonderful and amazing Carolyn Sells. She grew up in a family with a dad who rode and raced motorcycles, in a life that will make most of us envious. She carried on the family tradition and got into racing herself, and taking it all the way to be the first woman to win a race on the Isle of Man’s Mountain Course. She took the honors in the Manx GP Ultra-lightweight class, and is still very much a part of the Manx GP.
