Welcome to another episode of High Side Low Side. It's hard to believe that this is episode

6 already, which means we're halfway through season 5. I am, Spurgeon. I've got Mr.

Zach Quartz sitting here with me. Zach, how are you doing halfway through the season?

Where does the time go, my friend? Where does it go?

by the time you're listening to this episode, MotoGP in America, down at Austin, Texas is only a
