TORQ MOTO - Rob Herring Part 2 - Motocross left a bitter taste...
‘‘The Fish’ is back on the Hook!
Following on from the first episode of the Rob Herring interview on the Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon, ’the Fish’ is back and continues the chat with hosts ‘Jeffro’ Perrett and DocWob on his awesome motocross career.
In this episode, the trio discusses the later part of Rob’s hugely successful MX racing life, how it all came to an end for him, and how he’s kept his eye on riding motorcycles for his day job. It’s all interesting stuff, yet again Herring talks calmly and openly through it all with genuine affection, not only on his racing years but also on the names he reminisces and his love for the sport.
There’s also the announcement of his plans to return to racing this year at the VMXDN Foxhill and, what bike he’s considering riding and how he’ll prepare. Even to the point of what race kit he has in mind for the much-anticipated race on August Bank holiday weekend, where he took a race victory at the very first GP there as discussed in episode one. He has well and truly got the racing bug again and will also be riding at Farleigh Castle Vets MX in September.

Love this insight to the 'FISH' and his new found passion. I absolutely loved watching Rob ride, he was pure adrenalin and raw fast riding talent. Totally sending it week after week, brilliant rider. Jeff you weren't so bad yourself mate, I commentated on a lot of SW centre meets, yourself, Andy Gilbert, Daniel Smith (and his mum) Wheeler bros (of course) were all stand out stars. Keep up the great work!!
Brilliant!!!!

Bud Ekins did the famous jump in the great escape but my old man told me (he met Steve McQueen a few times during Husky days) that Steve actually did the jump off camera. Rob should have done the wall jump to tick the box....
OMG electric that's the end Motocross

Who are you interviewing. Is it you and Dr Wob, or Rob Herring ? Let him speak for Christ sake. You don’t stop interrupting particularly Dr Wob. I want to hear what Herring thinks and has to say.
