    MotoGP Special - Jake Dixon

    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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Live at the Malle Mile

    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... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
