Freddie Dobbs is undoubtedly a very stylish gentleman, and his YouTube videos are a work of art!

Elspeth is a remarkable lady! 40 years ago, without the reliance on smart phones, sat navs and all of the other global technology we seemingly need today, Elspeth set off around the world on her trusted 1974 BMW R60/6. She didn't really know where she was going or where she'd be sleeping on a nightly basis, but as long as she continued to head west, she'd be travelling in the right direction eventually! It was a life changing experience as Elspeth explains to Prutts and Iwan, who have a sizeable list of questions about her incredible 35,000 mile, two wheeled adventure!

It's just over 6 months since Peter Hickman woke up in hospital after a big crash during practice week for the Isle of Man TT. He was battered and bruised and further scans revealed that he'd actually damaged himself more than he'd originally thought, but it takes a lot to stop the fastest road racer in the world, and after numerous surgical procedures, some extensive rehabilitation and a stubborn determination to win, Hicky ended the year on the podium at Macau, second only to team mate Davey Todd!

The lads were both excited about this one, and it's fair to say it's everything they hoped it would be and more!

It's been 10 years since Dutch and Vikki Van Someren first opened Bike Shed in Shoreditch in London, and what a 10 years it's been! What they've done together is create the ultimate destination for lovers of bike culture, and establish something unique in the market in this country and beyond. There's now a Bike Shed in Los Angeles and soon to be one opening up in Dubai, and I wouldn't bet against another half a dozen world wide in the next few years! Beyond the business side, Dutch is fuelled by a passion for owning and riding beautiful two wheeled machines, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts in this brilliant episode!

Jenny Tinmouth is an exceptionally talented British bike racer, and as the current holder of the female lap record at the Isle of Man TT averaging 120mph over the 37 mile course, to say that she's rapid is an understatement! She's also the first woman to have competed in the British Superbike Championship, so the records keep getting broken! These days she'll either be filming stunt sequences with Tom Cruise on the Mission Impossible films, or fixing bikes in her garage in Ellesmere Port, both of which she's equally excited about!

They don't make them like Dougie Lampkin any more, so what a way to wrap the current series!

There’s not many ladies in the world of motorcycle reviews and top two wheeled content, which means that Usernamekate has had to work harder than most to get where she is today and it’s certainly been worth it. Self taught to know all there is to know about the latest bikes on the market, Kate is constantly off on product launches and road tests around the world, doing what she loves and now making a living out of it. She’s also a proud ambassador of Bikesure, so Iwan and Prutts thought they’d keep it in the family, and find out what it’s really like to be living the dream on a daily basis!

Motorsport is expensive at every level, and when you don't come from an affluent background like Davey Todd, it's a long and tough journey to get the top. Davey has done it the hard way, sleeping in his van, working and riding for nothing and owing so much to his parents who worked multiple jobs to keep the dream alive and support the family. Now that Davey is sitting at the top of his game in international road racing and BSB, It makes the sacrifice and pain that they all went through, that much sweeter!

Steve Keys has the sort of family background that was always going to see him on two wheels!

Steve has raced himself and rubbed shoulders with the big boys, he's been a respected motorcycle dealer, he's done charity rides on a pink R1 in pink leathers with the likes of Danny John Jules from Red Dwarf, but his proudest achievement must surely be the family's FAB Academy, which has helped develop the careers of some of the biggest names in British motorcycle racing and continues to do so! This is a cracking episode!

Behind her mild mannered exterior, Maria Costello MBE is one of the world's fastest and most successful bike racers, and has achieved all there is to achieve in a sport that she still loves and is fiercely passionate about. From TT success on two wheels, Maria's now turning her hand to 3 wheels and the sidecars, where she's equally rapid and shows no sign of slowing down! Refreshingly humble throughout, despite the glittering Costello trophy cabinet, this is a brilliant episode and hopefully stories like this will help inspire more young women to follow their dreams and take up a career in motorsport!

Where better to hide a book than in a library? As Ross illustrates with garage full of automotive toys!

He started vlogging on YouTube more than a decade ago when automotive content creation was still in its infancy, and now Chris Eades aka Baron Von Grumble has more than 278,000 subscribers to his channel!

The podcast was recorded on the 7thAugust 2025 at the Wray Bike Night in Lancashire, which is a monthly event that attracts up to a thousand bikers from all across the north of England. Iwan, Prutts and the visiting crowd were in their element listening to Foggy’s tales of superbike glory and being crowned king of the jungle, so with the sun shining on the particularly pretty village of Wray and its Bridge House Farm Tearooms, it was a lovely evening that created the perfect backdrop for the first live episode of the podcast!

When you think of bike racing legends, especially with the TT in mind, they don't come much bigger, better and more experienced than John McGuinness!

A qualified teacher, TV presenter and full time biker, Grace Webb is a lady with many strings to her bow. Brought up in a family obsessed with being on two wheels, Grace knows her subject matter as much as anyone, which is why you'll have seen her every year presenting from the Isle of Man TT for ITV, as well as being one of the familiar faces on Fifth Gear Recharged and much much more. Is it essential for our motorcycle racing presenters to be bikers themselves? No not necessarily, but it certainly helps...... as demonstrated here, with Grace and charm!

On this week's edition of Full Chat, Prutts and Iwan are joined by a bike racing legend in the form of James Whitham.

What a life Titch Cormack has led! From his Royal Marine days in the special forces that certainly forged the man he is today, to the life of a TV star on 'The Speedshop' and everything in between!

He takes some well earned time out for a brew and a blather with Iwan and Prutts, from his beautiful and characterful bikers cafe down in Dorset, where the 3 of them indulge in their favourite subject, which also rather handily happens to be your favourite subject as well!

Another week, and another all star guest for Iwan and Prutts to talk bikes with! James Toseland is a 2 times world superbike champion and sits at the top table of British racers, but a career ending injury and 9 subsequent operations on his wrist have been tough to endure, and have also had a profound effect on the other great love of his life, playing the piano. However, this year his latest operation and lengthy rehabilitation have given him back the movement needed to hit the road with his band, so with a UK tour kicking off in just a couple of weeks, this is an uplifting and emotional journey and James's story from childhood to present day, is a truly remarkable one!

Fresh from running the London marathon the day before this episode was recorded, James Cracknell is Prutts' and Iwan's special guest this week, to discuss his tempestuous relationship with life on two wheels. A well publicised brain injury sustained when he was knocked off his pushbike by a fuel truck in the states in 2010, had a life changing effect on him, but hasn't lessened his passion for motorcycling.
