Freddie Dobbs is undoubtedly a very stylish gentleman, and his YouTube videos are a work of art! For him, what you wear on a bike and the look of the bike in question is almost as important as how it performs, and it therefore comes as no surprise that he's a big fan of the British classics like Triumph and Norton. He's also got enormous followers on his YouTube channel and instagram page, so his reviews of the latest bikes on the market is now a full time job for Freddie, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts in this final episode of the series.
Elspeth is a remarkable lady! 40 years ago, without the reliance on smart phones, sat navs and all of the other global technology we seemingly need today, Elspeth set off around the world on her trusted 1974 BMW R60/6. She didn't really know where she was going or where she'd be sleeping on a nightly basis, but as long as she continued to head west, she'd be travelling in the right direction eventually! It was a life changing experience as Elspeth explains to Prutts and Iwan, who have a sizeable list of questions about her incredible 35,000 mile, two wheeled adventure!
It's just over 6 months since Peter Hickman woke up in hospital after a big crash during practice week for the Isle of Man TT. He was battered and bruised and further scans revealed that he'd actually damaged himself more than he'd originally thought, but it takes a lot to stop the fastest road racer in the world, and after numerous surgical procedures, some extensive rehabilitation and a stubborn determination to win, Hicky ended the year on the podium at Macau, second only to team mate Davey Todd! This is the story of an extraordinary year in the life of one of the biggest stars in international road racing, all told with Prutts and Iwan in front of a packed audience at Motorcycle Live 2025 at The NEC in Birmingham!
He's become a YouTube sensation in the bike world, and his channel has racked up a staggering 112 million views to date! With numbers like this, Andy Randle aka The Missenden Flyer has unsurprisingly become one of the UK's top bike reviewers, and has turned a passion project into a legitimate full time business. Add to that the fact that he also flies planes whenever he gets a chance, so Andy really is living the dream on a daily basis, as he explains in detail to a very jealous Iwan and Prutts!
Si King is British biking legend, and somebody that Iwan and Prutts have been looking forward to getting on the podcast for a long time! With his brilliant anecdotes of life growing up on two wheels and his 650,000 miles in the saddle with best mate and fellow Hairy Biker Dave Myers, he'll make you laugh, make you cry and possibly even make you some lunch if you go and visit his new 'Propa' food outlet in his native North East! The lads were both excited about this one, and it's fair to say it's everything they hoped it would be and more!
It's been 10 years since Dutch and Vikki Van Someren first opened Bike Shed in Shoreditch in London, and what a 10 years it's been! What they've done together is create the ultimate destination for lovers of bike culture, and establish something unique in the market in this country and beyond. There's now a Bike Shed in Los Angeles and soon to be one opening up in Dubai, and I wouldn't bet against another half a dozen world wide in the next few years! Beyond the business side, Dutch is fuelled by a passion for owning and riding beautiful two wheeled machines, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts in this brilliant episode!
Jenny Tinmouth is an exceptionally talented British bike racer, and as the current holder of the female lap record at the Isle of Man TT averaging 120mph over the 37 mile course, to say that she's rapid is an understatement! She's also the first woman to have competed in the British Superbike Championship, so the records keep getting broken! These days she'll either be filming stunt sequences with Tom Cruise on the Mission Impossible films, or fixing bikes in her garage in Ellesmere Port, both of which she's equally excited about! This is a brilliant episode and Prutts and Iwan are blown away by the stories of Jenny travelling on Tom Cruise's private jet!
We're kicking off series 5 of 'Full Chat' with a gentleman best known for his starring roles in Red Dwarf and Death in Paradise, it is of course the brilliant Danny John-Jules! There's not many people who could carry off riding a bright pink Yamaha R1 in bright pink leathers, but Dan's the man that can! A self confessed bike nut through and through, Danny is a dream guest for Iwan and Prutts and this is the perfect episode to get them back on the road again!
From 'Kickstart' on kids TV back in the 80s to some of the most ridiculous and incredible stunts more recently with Red Bull, Dougie Lampkin is a motorcycling legend and a dream guest for Iwan and Prutts! it was Ross Noble earlier in the series who was talking about riding with Dougie and said that we had to get him on, so that's exactly what we did and here he is. They don't make them like Dougie Lampkin any more, so what a way to wrap the current series!
There’s not many ladies in the world of motorcycle reviews and top two wheeled content, which means that Usernamekate has had to work harder than most to get where she is today and it’s certainly been worth it. Self taught to know all there is to know about the latest bikes on the market, Kate is constantly off on product launches and road tests around the world, doing what she loves and now making a living out of it. She’s also a proud ambassador of Bikesure, so Iwan and Prutts thought they’d keep it in the family, and find out what it’s really like to be living the dream on a daily basis!
Motorsport is expensive at every level, and when you don't come from an affluent background like Davey Todd, it's a long and tough journey to get the top. Davey has done it the hard way, sleeping in his van, working and riding for nothing and owing so much to his parents who worked multiple jobs to keep the dream alive and support the family. Now that Davey is sitting at the top of his game in international road racing and BSB, It makes the sacrifice and pain that they all went through, that much sweeter!
Steve Keys has the sort of family background that was always going to see him on two wheels! His grandad was a road racer who was still riding at speed well into his 80s and his dad was similarly versed in all things bike! Steve has raced himself and rubbed shoulders with the big boys, he's been a respected motorcycle dealer, he's done charity rides on a pink R1 in pink leathers with the likes of Danny John Jules from Red Dwarf, but his proudest achievement must surely be the family's FAB Academy, which has helped develop the careers of some of the biggest names in British motorcycle racing and continues to do so! This is a cracking episode!
Behind her mild mannered exterior, Maria Costello MBE is one of the world's fastest and most successful bike racers, and has achieved all there is to achieve in a sport that she still loves and is fiercely passionate about. From TT success on two wheels, Maria's now turning her hand to 3 wheels and the sidecars, where she's equally rapid and shows no sign of slowing down! Refreshingly humble throughout, despite the glittering Costello trophy cabinet, this is a brilliant episode and hopefully stories like this will help inspire more young women to follow their dreams and take up a career in motorsport!
Live from his home in Australia, Ross Noble talks sharks, tours, tanks and of course his passion for collecting motorbikes and keeping them away from his wife! Where better to hide a book than in a library? As Ross illustrates with garage full of automotive toys! Ross also discusses the bike training he got from the legendary Dougie Lampkin and how we should try and get him on the podcast, so the challenge has been officially set and producer Dave has now got his work cut out!
He started vlogging on YouTube more than a decade ago when automotive content creation was still in its infancy, and now Chris Eades aka Baron Von Grumble has more than 278,000 subscribers to his channel! It's allowed Chris devote his whole life to his love of two wheels, with his own channel and also '44 Teeth' which is a huge online motorcycling magazine and Youtube community of which he's one of the founders! As if that wasn't enough, Chris has recently set up Pitboxx Motorcycle Storage, his latest venture which allows those who don't want to pay sky high insurance for keeping their bikes at home in the city, the opportunity to have them stored and properly cared for by Chris and his team at their brand new facility in rural Hampshire. So, when it comes to turning your hobby or pastime into a full time career, Chris has got it nailed, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts who have already booked in a trip to Hampshire for coffee and cakes, and a nosey around his impressive collection of bikes!
They don’t come much bigger than this in the world of motorcycling royalty, so who better to kick off series 4 of ‘Full Chat’ than Mr Carl Fogarty! The podcast was recorded on the 7thAugust 2025 at the Wray Bike Night in Lancashire, which is a monthly event that attracts up to a thousand bikers from all across the north of England. Iwan, Prutts and the visiting crowd were in their element listening to Foggy’s tales of superbike glory and being crowned king of the jungle, so with the sun shining on the particularly pretty village of Wray and its Bridge House Farm Tearooms, it was a lovely evening that created the perfect backdrop for the first live episode of the podcast!
It's the final episode of this series of Full Chat, and Iwan and Prutts are welcoming in a gentleman they've wanted to get on the show for a while now. Henry Cole is a TV presenter, a film director, a motorcycling adventurer and a man with pure mischief in his eyes! He's a man who's certainly lived life to the full and shows no sign of slowing down, and provides us with the perfect guest to close a fantastic run of shows.
When you think of bike racing legends, especially with the TT in mind, they don't come much bigger, better and more experienced than John McGuinness! In a 30 year plus career he's made 108 starts, accrued 23 wins and will forever be regarded as one of the greatest ever! He'll be 53 by the time he arrives on the Island again at the end of May and has no intentions of stopping just yet, as he explains to Prutts and Iwan in this brilliant episode!
On this week's edition of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts talk to one of their favourite two wheeling YouTubers, who up until recently was completely anonymous! His real name is Harvey King, his YouTube handle is 'Harvey Rides Bikes' and here he is on the other side of the world in Australia, talking about the big decision to reveal his identity, and how he's turned his hobby into a business, reviewing bikes for a living!
On this week’s episode of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts sit down for a good old fashioned chinwag with ITV’s bike racing main man, Mr Matt Roberts. They talk Isle of Man TT, Moto GP, Ron Haslam’s racing school and much much more, and it’s quite simply, another cracking episode for you to watch, like and share!
