Soupkast Episode 194.43: Hogspoli

American James Rispoli is a former AMA Supersport front-runner who left these shores for British Superbike. He lived in and raced in England for a number of years where he enjoyed a strong UK fan base and backing from top sponsors like the late musician ​Keith Flint.

He’s back in America now and racing the AFT Production Twins competition class and winning, on a Harley-Davidson. The Milwaukee brethren have adopted him and bestowed him with the nickname “Hogspoli”.

East-coast native Rispoli is a charismatic man with a great many good stories, including how the cut-throat world of BSB racing prepared him to race … dirt track?  Also, on how being broke and out of a ride is a great motivator.
