"Wet, sweaty & broken", Marc Marquez is coming & Pusher's "great escape" - WDW2024 (Part 2)

Two old guys reminisce, then with audio challenges discuss the current motorcycle retail environment

we haven't podcasted for a while. we have been focused on the business. dealing with potentially very challenging business issues. but, it's not just us. the UK motorcycle retailing trade is having it tough just now. we chat about that from our point of view. annoyingly, after 30 or so minutes, we experienced terrible audio quality. sorry about that. hopefully it won't happen again. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Mike's off to Spain on his Streetfighter, as long as he can find out what blood group he is. The track days at Angelsey were epic once the toilets had been negotiated, even for 'Rider A'. Investment grade Sport homes are on our shopping list. Was it Pecco's fault or Alex's fault? We discuss. Incoming new Ducati models for 2025 and winter riding for pensioners. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

"Wet, sweaty & broken", Marc Marquez is coming & Pusher's "great escape" - WDW2024 (Part 2)

Andrew recorded Mike's arrival back to the hotel room, from the dinner on the first night of WDW2024. We apologise for the fruity language. We offer a canter around the many attractions of the event, including the Race of Champions, and then marvel at the antics of the travelling group on the route northwards, back towards the ferry home. We do a relatively deep dive on Glenn Irwin's Race of Champions ride. We include Pusher's legendary 'great escape' from the mid-Alpine mountains by rail. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

10 countries in 10 days - tinkles, fags & fuel - WDW2024 (Part 1)

We've been away for a month. Lots of Ducati related things have happened over the last four weeks, and we've also been on holiday. This podcast episode is 'Part 1' of the things that we can remember from the highlight of the last month - our customer tour from Scotland to World Ducati Week 2024, at the San Marino Circuit near Rimini, Italy. We'll be back very soon with 'Part 2' and soon after that with 'Part 3' - 'what happened next.....'. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

There are no tigers in the Serengeti...but Andrew went to Donnington & Mike did 2,002 KM on a Multistrada Rally.

We are gearing up for World Ducati Week 2024. But, not before Andrew spent a weekend at Donnington Race Circuit for the WSBK UK round. Meanwhile, Mike was unexpectedly riding 2.002 KM for a 3 day UK tour on a Multistrada Rally, as part of the Ducati Multistrada Rally 60.000KM European Tour. We also receive listener feedback whicj challenges our knowledge of global flora & fauna. If only we have taken geography more seriously at school....... ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
