WILLIE AMARADIO
LIGHTSPEED DESIGN ENGINEER
STARTING POINT: “In college my passion was racing, so I actively pursued a career in the motorcycle industry.
My first big job was in the Yamaha public relations department. When I
started LightSpeed, I had the opportunity to keep working with Team
Yamaha on the development of lightweight carbon fiber parts.”
THE JOB
: “My official title is president, but I’m really a design
engineer, because developing the parts is what I love to do. The
lifeblood of the job for me is working with the factory teams, like
Yamaha, Pro Circuit and Geico Honda. It’s motivation and inspiration and
what keeps us on the cutting edge. New bikes are introduced all the
time, and there is always a new challenge working on the next generation
and developing things that have never been seen before. That’s what
keeps the job fresh and exciting.”
