Full Chat

On this week's edition of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts are sitting down with Rock n Roll royalty, in the shape of The Stranglers' bass player and founder member JJ Burnel. JJ lives in France these days, where he can indulge his passion for Triumph motorcycles on the wide open roads of Provence, and on some of his more substantial road trips, he's been known to write a song or 6!

On this week's edition of Full Chat, Prutts and Iwan meet a man who might just have the best job in the world! He rides around the world on two wheels as a real life motorcycle adventurer and tour guide, business associate of Charley Boorman and a self professed opportunist! Billy Ward is his name and travelling the globe is his game, and to say he's got one or two tales from his travels, would be an underestimate on a global scale!

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. From his early days on his trusty Yamaha, to a history on different machines, James is keen to talk about the joys and freedom of life on the road, and how he'll always choose his bike over the car, given the opportunity!

This week's episode of Full Chat is a bit special and a bit different, as Iwan and David have got some time with an absolute hero of theirs! As two men who are both a little obsessed by the Isle of Man TT which is only a couple of weeks away, the chance to spend 40 mins or so with Peter Hickman was a dream come true, and he certainly didn't disappoint! Hicky is quite simply the fastest road racer in the world, and holds the current TT lap record with an average speed of 136.3 miles per hour over the 37.73 mile course, which is absolutely phenomenal! On top of that though, he's a brilliant talker who gives a fascinating insight into his career to date and the way he approaches all that he does, so for anybody that's truly into bikes and the TT in general, this a rare and very special treat!

On this week's episode, Iwan and Prutts welcome along one of the most positive and inspirational men on the planet, in the form of Great British Olympian Kriss Akabusi! Not only is he great fun to be around, but Kriss loves nothing more than escaping on his beloved bikes, so saddle up for some motivational motorcycling with the man they call Busi!

It's the first episode of a brand new podcast series hosted by Iwan Thomas and David Prutton, all about the love of motorcycles and life on two wheels. The boys' first special guest is celebrity chef Paul Ainsworth, who likes nothing more than swapping his chef's whites for his black leathers, and exploring the picturesque roads along the north coast of Cornwall!
