Customer Reviews
For the love of motorcycles
A true pleasure to listen to. The insightful, well thought out and eloquently explained information on the latest motorcycles and motorcycle manufacturers is a must to listen to. Rob and Tim understand world of bikes and how to entertainingly deliver the news from around the world of biking. The passion that Rob and Tim have for motorcycles really is felt in every podcast. Keep up the good work boys!
Keep trying
These guys are nice to listen to, but really don’t have the knowledge or experience of real moto journalists. Their knowledge gaps are cringingly obvious and their sad discussions about how to manipulate their videos to get the most views on YouTube really ruin this one.
Yes!
Been a fan of MotoBob’s YouTube channel for a while now and it’s awesome that he’s got a podcast now! My go to for motorcycle news and reviews even from across the pond. Keep it up, my guys!
