Pipe Dreams Podcast is back with Episode 32 featuring ex-MotoGP racer, factory BMW test rider, and now Harley-Davidson Factory Racing King of the Baggers star — the englishman Bradley Smith.

Few riders have lived more chapters of motorcycle racing than Bradley. From his early days in England racing MX to tearing through the 125cc and Moto2 ranks to standing on MotoGP podiums and later becoming one of the sport’s most trusted development riders, Bradley’s story is all about evolution.

He’s one of the rare few to score podiums in 125, Moto2, MotoGP, and MotoE—a career built on adaptability and relentless drive. In this episode, Bradley takes us through it all: the pressures of the Tech3 years, to achieving a life-long dream of becoming a factory MotoGP rider fro KTM, and his role in helping BMW develop a championship-winning WorldSBK bike with Toprak.

Now, as he takes on a new challenge in MotoAmerica’s King of the Baggers with Harley-Davidson, Bradley opens up about chasing relevance, purpose, and passion in a sport that never stops evolving – just like him.

Available on all major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, the full episode is out now. Video of the episode can also be viewed on Spotify or YouTube.
