The Nod

The good folks at Triumph invited the boys along to Silverstone for the MOTOGP weekend and whilst there they sat down with Moto2 superstar and all round good guy, Jake Dixon. It's a really great chat with a young man that has lived a lot in his young years. Whilst there, Ben also was lucky to ride the Moto2 edition Street Triple around the track. Big thanks to Triumph for that bit of fun! And that's your lot for Season 2. We'll be back after a summer break!

The penultimate show of Season Two and our first live podcast show if you will. The guys at the Malle Mile asked us to chat in the Lost Club so we thought why not record it and let you all hear what goes on. Hosted by the wonderful Sam Barham, the boys talk about their pasts, why do the podcast and how it's going. Don't worry there is also some chat about the Dakar rally from Charley and some therapy for Ant...

The boys are at the Malle Mile and meet up with Niels who is over from Germany. A former World Cup mountain bike racer, Niels moved into free riding then motorcycles. He's also got his own computer game! Ant and Ben catch up with him at the end of the weekend when all the racing and commentating is done. So apologies for some husky voices!

What does it feel like to sit in front of tens of thousands of people who are there to listen to you play? Skunk Anansie and Feeder Drummer, Mark Richardson, joins the boys this week to chat about the highs and lows of life as a rock star. A long term biker and keen enduro rider, Mark shares how bikes helped him through some of his darkest days and how much he loves his Ducati Desert X.... Mark is an inspiring and talented guy with a big heart who has done a huge amount to support the mental health of the music industry. Meanwhile, Charley has been over at the Isle of Man TT. It's another cracker folks.

This week we are joined by former UK Special Forces Operator and star of BBC2's Speed Shop, Titch Cormack back out on the Norton's and having a chat. As you can imagine, Titch has had a rather remarkable life to date and brings a fascinating insight into life in the military and how his most challenging mission was not in combat but simply being a father and business owner. Listen on now for a fantastic chat with one of the good ones. Don't forget to rate the show and leave a review!

Former Olympic 400m runner Iwan Thomas joins the boys this week for a special treat and exclusive 'First Ride'. Norton Motorcycles have kindly dropped off a couple of the brand new V4CR's for them all to have a go on. The first people outside of Norton to be allowed on the bikes! After the ride they sit down to chat about running, riding and some previously untold stories. We are big fan's of Iwan and how he goes about his life. Listen in the hear more.

Star of hit show Vikings and one careful owner of a Triumph Bonnevile, George pops into the studio to chat with the boys about the film industry, his bike history and more.

It's back to school for Ben, Charley and Ant this week as they are joined by Grace Webb. A former primary school teacher, Grace has officially the best job in the world as host of hit CBBC show Grace's Amazing Machines. Having grown up at Donnington Park (Her grandfather created the modern circuit), ridden bikes since she was 17 and presented the Thundersport GB race series, it was a natural progression to presenting. Grace is an inspiring women trailblazing a path within the male dominated motorsport world and inspiring young girls and women along the way. The boys are all proud to stand as allies to Grace and all the other women who ride.
