  • The real deal.

    I stumbled onto this show and have been binging on episodes since. Adam has a gift for putting his guests at ease, he knows when to speak up, and when to listen. The result is some really engaging stories that hinge around Triumph and motorcycle culture, but the stories branch way further than that. Love your work mate - keep them coming!

  • Hooked from the first episode

    What a great podcast. At the ripe old age of 56, I decided to start riding a motorcycle, and promptly spent the last month binging this show Adam brings on an incredible mix of guests, an auditory gumbo of Motorsports from every corner of the motorcycle world. Now I am sad because I’ve run out of episodes for my commute. Patiently (impatiently) waiting for the next one. Highly recommended.

  • Good podcasts for motorcycle folk

    Admittedly not an avid triumph rider, but enjoy all motorcycles and stories. Podcast host does a nice letting the guest tell their story and gives some general triumph updates. If you enjoy motorcycles and motorcycle people, you’ll enjoy this podcast!
