    Journey to a Dream - Craig Neve

    In today’s episode, we’re joined by Craig Neve, an electrician by trade and a force to be reckoned with on two wheels. Craig has carved out an incredible career racing at BSB level in Supersport and Superstock, with other highlights including two four-Hour endurance wins at Jurby and breaking into the coveted 130 mph club at the TT. But Craig’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. From an early injury that ended his promising football career to an intense comeback after a massive crash at the NW200, Craig’s resilience is nothing short of inspiring. Whether it’s his Mountain Course debut in 2014, his top-10 finishes at the TT, or racing alongside legends with the Bathams Racing Team, Craig has consistently proven himself as a rider to watch. With years of experience, a family legacy in the sport, and an unrelenting drive, Craig’s story is one of passion, determination, and triumph. You can follow Craig's progress here.

    Journey to a Dream - The Crowe Brothers!

    In this episode we're joined by an unstoppable sibling duo making waves at the Isle of Man TT: Ryan and Callum Crowe. Sons of TT legend Nick Crowe, these brothers are carving their own path in the sport, and this year, they clinched an incredible double victory in the sidecar races. But for Ryan and Callum, it’s not just about crossing the finish line first. Here they share insights into the deep friendships formed in the paddock, the camaraderie that defines the TT, and why, despite their double success, they’re already chasing more. Ultimately though, they’re still your local Jurby boys from the Isle of Man.

    Journey to a Dream - Paul 'Moz' Owen

    Welcome to Journey to a Dream, brought to you by Kawasaki Insurance. In this episode, we’re thrilled to introduce Paul “Moz” Owen— and we uncover the story behind that nickname! With nearly three decades of racing under his belt, Paul has a wealth of stories to share. Motorbike racing runs deep in Paul’s family, a passion passed down from his father. The photo says it all: three generations of Owens united by their love for the sport—Paul on the right, his son Thomas in the centre, and his dad Gareth on the left. While we don't talk much about Paul’s impressive racing career and numerous podium finishes, he gives us an honest look at the highs and lows of dedicating your life to a sport that while exhilarating, can sometimes be pretty brutal.
