4.3 out of 5 stars from 56 ratings
  • Gone downhill

    I’m not sure what’s going on but the show has gone completely down hill. Listening to the same two or three guests over and over pontificate about the motorcycle industry has nothing to do with adv riding.

    We aren’t taking a business class here. Interview real riders! About to unsubscribe. This show is actually putting me to sleep.

  • Occasional wrong episodes

    Really enjoy the pod, but *every so often* the title points to the wrong episode. For example, the Gregory Frazier title has the Lang Hindle exhaust audio, which is a repeat of the previous week. The episodes themselves are very insightful, which is the reason for five stars. 👍

  • Becoming a favourite pod.

    Intelligent calm delivery makes this interesting pod a real pleasure but why never thank the guest and conclude/sign off the episode, the abrupt ending is unsatisfying and always sounds like its cut out! Thanks though, enjoyed the Stoic rider very much.

  • A cool laid-back motorcycle podcast

    Have been listening to the lowdown show for a few months now I’ll find the content very fun and enjoyable to listen to. I don’t take themselves too seriously and some good content of it would never normally expect.
