This week, Prutts and Iwan welcome along a gentleman who is synonymous with great design and amazing spaces. George Clarke can see the beauty in most things, and when it comes to motorcycles, that is certainly true, judging by his stunning and bespoke customised Triumph, which is his pride and joy. George has been obsessed with bikes since he was little, and together the 3 of them laugh their way through the entire episode, fondly recalling tales of why they're all at the happiest, when they're out on two wheels!
He's been on our screens for 4 decades now, making Nick Knowles one of the most recognisable TV presenters in the country. Most famous for DIY SOS which has been going for a staggering 25 years, Nick is a hands on household name, but his first TV job actually involved his other great passion in life, motorbikes! Nick is a brilliant storyteller, and his two wheeled adventures over the years, make him one of Prutts' and Iwan's favourite guests to date, without a shadow of a doubt!
On this week's Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts welcome Canadian YouTube sensation Ryan Kluftinger (aka Ryan F9) onto the pod, to talk about living the 2 wheeled dream on the other side of the pond. Ryan works for Fortnine who sell just about everything a Canadian biker could ever need, but he's also become a huge household name for his insightful and honest bike reviews, which have endeared him to some manufacturers and put him on the back list with others!
Just in case the Isle of Man TT and Northwest 200 aren't gruelling enough for James Hillier, he's about to swap 200 mph road racing for the punishing and unrelenting sand dunes of the Dakar Rally! James should know better as he's done it before in 2023 and hasn't quite recovered from that ordeal, but Iwan and Prutts catch up with him at home in Dorset, as he prepares himself and his bike for his next adventure, in the ultimate off road test of man and machine!
What a life Titch Cormack has led! From his Royal Marine days in the special forces that certainly forged the man he is today, to the life of a TV star on 'The Speedshop' and everything in between! The one thing that links everything together though, is a pure and unadulterated obsession with motorcycles that has been a constant throughout all of Titch's adult life. He takes some well earned time out for a brew and a blather with Iwan and Prutts, from his beautiful and characterful bikers cafe down in Dorset, where the 3 of them indulge in their favourite subject, which also rather handily happens to be your favourite subject as well!
Another week, and another all star guest for Iwan and Prutts to talk bikes with! James Toseland is a 2 times world superbike champion and sits at the top table of British racers, but a career ending injury and 9 subsequent operations on his wrist have been tough to endure, and have also had a profound effect on the other great love of his life, playing the piano. However, this year his latest operation and lengthy rehabilitation have given him back the movement needed to hit the road with his band, so with a UK tour kicking off in just a couple of weeks, this is an uplifting and emotional journey and James's story from childhood to present day, is a truly remarkable one!
Iwan and Prutts are back with a brand new series of Full Chat, and who better to kick of round 2 than the queen of Moto GP herself, Suzi Perry! Suzi talks about where her love of motorcycling first came from, and how she loves nothing better than being on two wheels, when she's not globetrotting around the world with the biggest names in the sport!
With the Isle of Man TT races finishing just over 72 hours ago, it's the perfect opportunity to get a full round up of the last two weeks at the greatest motorcycle road racing festival in the world, from motorsports presenter and pit lane reporter Hailey Coxon. Hailey is from the Isle of Man and has bike racing and bike culture running through her veins, so who better to talk Iwan and Prutts through the last fortnight of incredible action and record breaking achievements, to not only cap this year's TT 2024, but also this first series of 'Full Chat', brought to you by Bikesure!
On this week's episode of Full Chat, Prutts and Iwan welcome aboard a man they regarded as Mr Motorbikes in the 90s! He was the man on Top Gear that reviewed all the motorcycles and spoke for a generation of would be bikers, and his name is Steve Berry! His passion for all things two wheeled hasn't diminished one jot over the years, so throw in his current obsessions, mixed with a few nostalgic tales from yesteryear, and you've got yourself an absolute belter of an episode!
On this week's edition of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts are sitting down with Rock n Roll royalty, in the shape of The Stranglers' bass player and founder member JJ Burnel. JJ lives in France these days, where he can indulge his passion for Triumph motorcycles on the wide open roads of Provence, and on some of his more substantial road trips, he's been known to write a song or 6!
On this week's edition of Full Chat, Prutts and Iwan meet a man who might just have the best job in the world! He rides around the world on two wheels as a real life motorcycle adventurer and tour guide, business associate of Charley Boorman and a self professed opportunist! Billy Ward is his name and travelling the globe is his game, and to say he's got one or two tales from his travels, would be an underestimate on a global scale!
Fresh from running the London marathon the day before this episode was recorded, James Cracknell is Prutts' and Iwan's special guest this week, to discuss his tempestuous relationship with life on two wheels. A well publicised brain injury sustained when he was knocked off his pushbike by a fuel truck in the states in 2010, had a life changing effect on him, but hasn't lessened his passion for motorcycling. From his early days on his trusty Yamaha, to a history on different machines, James is keen to talk about the joys and freedom of life on the road, and how he'll always choose his bike over the car, given the opportunity!
This week's episode of Full Chat is a bit special and a bit different, as Iwan and David have got some time with an absolute hero of theirs! As two men who are both a little obsessed by the Isle of Man TT which is only a couple of weeks away, the chance to spend 40 mins or so with Peter Hickman was a dream come true, and he certainly didn't disappoint! Hicky is quite simply the fastest road racer in the world, and holds the current TT lap record with an average speed of 136.3 miles per hour over the 37.73 mile course, which is absolutely phenomenal! On top of that though, he's a brilliant talker who gives a fascinating insight into his career to date and the way he approaches all that he does, so for anybody that's truly into bikes and the TT in general, this a rare and very special treat!
On this week's episode, Iwan and Prutts welcome along one of the most positive and inspirational men on the planet, in the form of Great British Olympian Kriss Akabusi! Not only is he great fun to be around, but Kriss loves nothing more than escaping on his beloved bikes, so saddle up for some motivational motorcycling with the man they call Busi!
It's the first episode of a brand new podcast series hosted by Iwan Thomas and David Prutton, all about the love of motorcycles and life on two wheels. The boys' first special guest is celebrity chef Paul Ainsworth, who likes nothing more than swapping his chef's whites for his black leathers, and exploring the picturesque roads along the north coast of Cornwall!
If you're into motorbikes in any way, shape or form, this is the podcast for you. Join Iwan Thomas and David Prutton for Full Chat. Powered by Bikesure.
