Plans for the 2025 season

Mason Leuck - May 7th, 2025

I will finally be graduating college this coming week, which will hopefully result in more time for me to ride bikes. For the past four years I have been balancing doing well in school, jobs, and trying to work within my race program and I am so glad that I will be able to focus in in a less hectic way. This past semester, I finished with 18 credit hours and 20 hour work weeks outside of studies, which meant my posting on media really slowed. I see this as a net positive, I got to take a look at my program and my socials and think about my goals, what I want to pursue in the future, and what type of media I would like to make.

I have begun taking my fitness more seriously, this has paid off on the motorcycle, I do not get fatigued as easily which results in more consistent improvement. I commute anywhere I can by bicycle, and I run often. I am down 15lb from last season, for free. I can’t think of a spot on my bike that I can lose that much weight affordably! Moving around on the bicycle is huge and I feel like it can help with motorcycling.

This season, I will be riding an Aprilia RS660 that has been built by BobbleHeadMoto. I am so fortunate to have this bike, and I have already set a PB laptime at NCCar on it. The bike feels fantastic, has all of the goodies I would like, and offers tons of room for growth. I am excited to be racing in the ASRA lightweight superstock class and endurance classes. I am hoping to participate in a season of close racing and to improve my racecraft. My ultimate goal for the season is to participate in the races at Daytona this October.

Taking a look at my socials, I have pursued Instagram and TikTok for the past couple years, but the type of content I want to make does not align well with the platforms. I will continue to post on these accounts as I really enjoy the platform, but I will be putting more of my video efforts towards Youtube, which is more conducive to the type of content I enjoy creating. Additionally, my previous content has done relatively well on Youtube and I enjoy making thoughtful long format content. I am excited to see how some of my new videos perform, I have a couple fun ideas.

Overall, I am very excited for what this season will bring. Cheers!
