In the second segment this episode, Teejay chats with Kira Knebel. Kira is one of the most modest Championship Winners you’ll ever hear from. But don’t be fooled by this super-sweet lady—she turns into a tiger on the track. Part of the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race crew, in 2025 Kira entered her second year of the program and felt somewhat confident that she could make her mark. And boy, did she ever! The racing was close; she had a spectacular spill at Road America; and yet she wasn’t fazed. It went down to the wire and Kira ended up taking the Championship win at the last round at The Ridge, in Washington state. It was a remarkable testament to her sheer toughness and never-give-up attitude. Here at Motos & Friends we’re proud to be part of her racing journey.
