For those who watched our next guest’s ascent to motocross and supercross greatness, the acronym by which this hall of famer is often and deservingly referred is apropos. Credited with 15 national titles—10 in motocross, including two perfect seasons, and five in supercross—Ricky Carmichael is indeed the GOAT, or the Greatest Of All Time.
Following a four–year NASCAR career, the 44-year-old Floridian now splits his energy and time between his family and television broadcasting duties, as well as working with amateur riders in various self-branded camps and events. In addition, Carmichael has partnered with Triumph Motorcycles to help develop an all-new line of off-road competition machines.
As part of his relationship with the British marque, Carmichael has discovered a new two-wheel outlet: adventure riding. Unofficially christened the “RC Summer Adventure Ride,” the annual outing has become defined by a small group of close friends traveling off the beaten path and exploring some of the best roads imaginable—paved or otherwise—in the conterminous U.S.
