Scotty Drake Returns for Motorcycle Safety Month and 8 Years Later

Every May, Eagle 98.1’s Michelle Southern catches up with the man who held down afternoons before her, Baton Rouge radio legend Scotty Drake. This year’s conversation marked a pretty wild milestone: Michelle celebrating 8 years in afternoon drive on Eagle 98.1, while Scotty celebrates 8 years of retirement. The two talk motorcycles, road safety, the continued mission of the Motorcycle Awareness Campaign, and how you can grab one of MAC’s bright yellow “Please Watch for Motorcycles” yard signs during Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. They also discuss encouraging new statistics showing motorcycle fatalities in Louisiana dropped 25% in 2024 compared to the previous year. A Baton Rouge radio reunion with laughs, memories, and an important reminder for drivers across Louisiana: watch for motorcycles.
