Seriously the best podcast in the known universe, and probably beyond.
Every bike podcasts tries to sell themselves as "a couple of friends chatting about bikes" and most feel forced, boring, chaotic, or try hard. This one legitimately reminds me of the conversations me and my riding buddies have. Good stuff and a fun listen.
I’ve been listening to these feckers for years and never miss a new episode. Simon’s stint(s) on PB were epic back in the day (I was an avid reader of the rag in the ‘90s) and Martin is a perfect co-host. The boys always have an engaging conversation about the latest motorcycling news and their opinions and banter are a fun listen. Five stars!
Been listening for years, great mix of sense and nonsense from ancient and modern motorcycle journalists. (😂 sorry Simon)
I’ve been listening to Martin and Simon for years now.. simply my favourite biking podcast 👏thanks gentlemen 👍
