Mike making a point...

The show is hosted by Mike Imprevento

  • A former Navy Judge Advocate and Special Assistant United States Attorney, Mike Imprevento has been practicing law in Tidewater for over 20 years. Mike's passion, however, is motorcycles. He logs thousands of miles a year on his Road King and Electra Glide which have been performance modified out of the Screaming Eagle and JIMS catalogs by the technicians at Bayside Harley Davidson in Portsmouth, Virginia. Mike has taken his passion for two-wheeled performance to the air with Motorcycle Mania.

  • Mike says "The motorcycle industry in general is booming and the number of riders is increasing every year. I want to create a forum where people in this industry and sport can have a voice and answer questions from listeners. Many owners do not get the best advice involving effective enhancements to increase the performance and reliability of their motorcycles. I also want to provide a forum for enthusiasts, and all who desire to promote the spirit of riding and all of its benefits. I know the show is going to be a great success because such a focused show is long overdue."

  • Mike has also been voted "Tidewater's Funniest Lawyer" so the show promises to be a combination of humor, talk, and just plain two-wheeled fun.

Mike's co-host is Phil Floria.
