On this week's episode of the Bru Time Podcast, I’m sitting down in person with Mark From Leeds. After spending 25 years as a plastic fabricator, Mark made a massive career change 18 months ago - and honestly, trying to describe the places this conversation goes almost feels unfair to Mark's brain.
We cover everything from obscure plastic fabrication tales and out-of-body experiences to remote viewing, invisible clowns, and plenty of laughs along the way. Grab a brew and settle in for this one!

Doctor, lawyer or engineer? Ryan O’Sullivan chose a different path - one that led from 50cc bikes to Next Level Wheelie School and motorcycle work on film sets.
Ryan joins Bruce for an honest chat about learning to wheelie, overcoming fear and building a life around something you love. Can a confident road rider still struggle when the front wheel lifts? How much does attitude matter? And what does running a “dream business” actually involve?
We explore Ryan’s introduction to stunt riding, his friendship and business partnership with Paul, and the hard work behind establishing the school. There are also stories from The Kitchen, Gassed Up and Bollywood productions, surfing in Sri Lanka, and getting a police bike onto its back wheel.
Along the way, we discuss ego, powerful motorcycles, personal responsibility and why being experienced in one riding discipline doesn’t mean you’ve mastered another.
A conversation about bikes, finding your confidence and being willing to become a beginner again.

Nomad Mossy: an experiment in living off a motorbike at 67. What happens when you stop putting off the adventure you’ve always wanted?
Motorcycle journalist Chris “Mossy” Moss returns to Bru Time to share the story of Nomad Mossy: putting his belongings into storage, getting on a bike and travelling around the UK with no fixed end date, staying with fellow motorcyclists along the way.
At 67, he’s discovering that the people can matter even more than the roads. We talk about the personal loss that helped prompt his decision, the generosity of his hosts, travelling alone and why you don’t need to cross the world to find an adventure.
There’s plenty of bike talk too: honest motorcycle reviews, Chinese manufacturers, the appeal of middleweight adventure bikes, crashes, recovery and how our attitude to risk changes with experience.
Add your questions, stories from Mossy’s journalism career, my own travel experiences and some gloriously daft tangents, and you’ve got nearly seven hours of laughter, reflection and motorcycle chat.
An episode about bikes, friendship and making time for the life you want to live.
Contains strong language and adult conversation.

Ever wondered what it takes to build a custom motorcycle designed to smash a 400 mph land speed record?
In Episode 206 of Bru Time, Bruce sits down with Adam Fawsitt (founder) and Mark Taylor (technical director) from the Greyhound Land Speed Record Project. We dive deep into the engineering hurdles of beating a 70-year standing record, why Britain remains a powerhouse of innovation, and the sheer obsession required to take on an endeavour dominated by the US for nearly 90 years.
From computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and bespoke components to fighting for traction on dry lake beds and signing up TT legend Peter Hickman to pilot the beast, this is a masterclass in pushing boundaries and choosing more out of life.

In Episode 203 of Bru Time, Bruce is joined by Pete Hastelow (known across Instagram as @R1Soul) for a brutally honest, deeply moving, and hilarious 3-hour chinwag.
Pete shares his incredible journey through major health battles - from multiple open-heart surgeries to surviving a stroke and hitting absolute rock bottom with post-op depression. He recounts the unforgettable moment on a Snowdonia mountain pass that changed his perspective on life forever, why men need to speak up more about what’s going on inside, and how fitness and yoga transformed his physical and mental health.
We also dive into:
• Why Pete is campaigning to "put the social back into social media"
• The legendary story behind the "Sparkle Riders" and the Biker's Picnic concept
• Adventure motorcycle festivals: The Overland Event vs. ABR vs. Armchair Adventure
• Motorbike love: Why his Yamaha R1 and Super Ténéré 1200 aren't going anywhere
• Listener Q&A: Big diggers, alien conspiracies, UK road laws, and whether peanut butter belongs on a burger!

In Episode 199 of BRU TIME, Bruce chats with Stan Hulme ('The Inspired Rider') about his extraordinary 6,121-mile solo expedition from Leicester to Nordkapp in northern Norway, raising funds for Alex's Wish.
Stan’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. Before leaving, he survived a severe bout of Delta COVID-19, a mini-stroke (TIA), and a total final-drive failure on his 17-year-old BMW GS. On the road, he faced closed international borders, an exposed tooth abscess, charging moose, washed-out bridges, and a brutal Arctic storm that left him stage-one hypothermic at -10°C.
Key Points:
• The origin of 'The Inspired Rider' & supporting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Alex's Wish)
• Overcoming major health setbacks & returning to fitness
• Real-world lessons on solo packing, wild camping, and navigation in Scandinavia
• Highs and lows of riding Norway’s national routes (FV13, Lysebotn, Trollstigen)
• Navigating emergencies with the help of community, gas stations, and Bunker Bikers
• Community Q&A: Ideal adventure bikes (Tuareg 660 vs GS), advanced riding myths, and fitness for motorcyclists.

Custom motorcycle builder Jonathan Hull from Jonathan Hull & Son Bespoke Motorcycles joins me for episode 198 of the Bru Time Podcast to discuss his limited-run Northman project.
In this honest, unpolished conversation, we dive into the true graft behind the custom motorcycle scene. Jonathan shares the dark financial realities of running an independent workshop, the pressure of legacy craftsmanship, and why he completely reset his business approach.
We detail his recent engineering battle with the Honda GB 350 S factory warranty, dropping 15kg from a machine to master the power-to-weight ratio, and mastering high-temperature 3D printing in-house. We also answer listener questions regarding nightmare customer expectations, family history, personal creative focus, and what our ultimate motorcycle setups look like for the apocalypse.

Can you really ditch a 1200cc adventure bike for a 125cc mini bike and have MORE fun?
In this episode of Bru Time, Bruce sits down with Dean Lambert from "Monkey Dix Adventures" to explore the growing world of small-CC motorcycle touring. Dean shares his journey from moving heavy cruisers and adventure touring rigs to completing a grueling 4,000-mile solo endurance loop of the UK coastline on a tiny Honda.
We also explore Dean’s recent clockwise trek around the entire coast of Ireland in a utilitarian Tuk Tuk, complete with wild, unexpected roadside encounters, Irish hospitality, and a late-night accordion session in a hand-built yurt.
Beyond the machinery, this is an incredibly honest conversation about mental health. Dean opens up about his personal experience with a sudden anxiety breakdown, the psychological tools that helped him take back control, and his ongoing work as a facilitator for the UK-wide charity Andy’s Man Club. We also discuss his role as an ambassador for Boot Out Breast Cancer and how community support can carry you through the toughest miles.
Whether you ride a massive touring rig or a small scooter, this episode will challenge everything you think you need for a proper adventure.

From redundancy to building a business in the "back arse of nowhere"—Adam Wight returns to Bru Time!
In episode 195, Bruce sits down with return guest Adam Wight, the mastermind behind the newly launched PathfinderMoto.com (and the face of Bikes for Brains). Adam shares his story of getting made redundant and why it was the best thing to happen to his mental health in a decade.
The guys dive deep into why modern society is getting soft, the profound mental health benefits of getting stuck in a ditch with a group of strangers, and why motorbiking inherently forces you to be vulnerable. Plus, they answer plenty of community questions covering:
- Top tips for shifting your perspective from local bike nights to major adventure tours.
- Fixing the slightly "wanky" throttle response below 3,000 revs on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
- A brutal, honest assessment of Kove Moto (Kove 450 Rally and 800) and whether Chinese manufacturing is finally beating the big brands on chassis feel.
- And an essential debate on the deliciousness and crumbly texture of Spanish Manchego cheese.

Welcome back to Bru Time! In Episode 194, Bruce sits down for a whisky-fueled marathon chat with motorcycle YouTuber Sam Vincent (@samvbikes).
Sam & Bruce open up about the crushing reality of YouTube backlog burnout, trying out editors who threw in the towel, and why shifting content strategy may be the way ahead.
But it’s not all serious - the lads dive deep into the ultimate bike debates: Is the BMW GS actually better than a KTM Super Duke? Why does Ducati ownership feel like a toxic relationship? And are modern adventure bikes losing their charm to smaller CC machines?
Plus, we answer your brilliant Patreon and Instagram questions covering everything from future classic bikes, the truth about Elvis, custom butt plugs, and the infamous "Joe Overtaking" style on a 9-horsepower monkey bike. Grab a brew (or a glass of Monkey Shoulder) and enjoy the ramble!

In Episode 193 of the Bru Time podcast, Bruce sits down with former European Tour professional golfer Warren "Trev" Bennett for an exceptionally grounded look at the brutal highs and lows of elite sports and life after the spotlight fades.
Trev openly shares his memories of playing against and beating an amateur Tiger Woods, the intense financial strain of chasing success on the tour circuit, and the profound mental health impact of an anxiety-induced nervous breakdown at the 2004 Open Championship. He discusses the reality of going from international success to having zero pounds in his bank account, his ten-year technical obsession to repair his swing, and the liberating perspective of choosing a simpler, more meaningful life.
The lads also dig into their shared love of motorcycling - discussing the current state of the global bike market, Trev’s history with the BMW R18, and Bruce's recent grueling 66-hour UK tour on a 125cc scooter. Finally, Trev highlights the lifesaving Type 1 diabetes awareness work being done by the Adam Bell Foundation.

This week on the Bru Time Podcast, I sit down with Dave Ashpole (@d_ash999), an operational UK Fire & Rescue worker, lifelong motocross enthusiast, and former British Army sniper.
Dave shares his journey from leaving school with no qualifications to joining the infantry, serving on tense combat tours in Northern Ireland, and training the Afghan National Army in 2003. He opens up about the perverse sense of pride that comes with delivering tough news in uniform, the modern "corporate" shift within the emergency services, and why he chooses to view psychological resilience as "mental fitness" rather than mental health.
We also get heavily into the bike talk - discussing the best forgiving off-road bikes for beginners, his ongoing battle with a severe ACL injury at 45, and plenty of lighthearted banter comparing the complete package of the BMW GS to the raw adrenaline of a KTM.
In this episode we cover:
• Dave's background and the childhood spark that started a 2-wheel obsession.
• The realities of transition: Going from the "Mob" to driving lorries to entering the Fire Service.
• Inside the modern Fire Service: Why modern recruitment is struggling and why veterans miss the old watch culture.
• Listener Q&A: Beginner green laning tips, favorite UK tarmac routes (Scotland vs. Wales), and the absolute best/worst bikes currently sitting in his garage.
• Mental Fitness: How first responders pack away trauma and the warning signs of hitting a wall.Links Mentioned in the Show:

Welcome back to Bru Time! In Episode 191, we catch up with the YouTuber known as "The Gorilla Biker", to see what life has really been like since he packed up everything and moved from Ireland to the US back in 2022.
We dive deep into the raw, honest truth about emigration - the initial year of absolute paperwork chaos, managing the stability of a US visa, and what happens when you leave your lifelong support network behind. Michael shares his love for the vast American landscape, from riding the Appalachian Mountains to exploring Canyonlands, and how the biking culture differs across the pond.
We also tackle listener questions covering:
- The reality of buying vs. renting a house in Ireland and the UK compared to the US.
- Behind the scenes of running a motorcycle YouTube channel.
- Michael's dream of starting a community garage to make bike maintenance accessible.
- The ultimate burger build and a legendary hot sauce challenge story.
Grab a brew, settle in, and listen to an honest conversation about what it means to choose more, take risks, and adapt when "sh*t happens."

What happens when a professional tour guide gets locked down and decides to bring the entire Australian Outback to the world via a GoPro and a drone?
This week, we chat with Sid Hewison of @sids.ventures. Sid shares his journey of selling everything he owned to find his "true calling" in Alice Springs, only to have the world shut down just as he found it. We explore how he transitioned from leading physical tours to educating millions on social media about geology, history, and natural remedies.
We also get into:
- The reality of Australia's dangerous wildlife (Spoiler: It’s a marketing ploy).
- Initiation into different cultures and the importance of oral history.
- Why Sid decided to ride a motorbike around the entire continent with no previous road experience.
- The "Coroner's Rule" for making life-or-death decisions in the bush.

In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with the truly inspirational Nigel Limb, better known as "Blind Bloke Racing."
Nigel’s life changed forever on December 27th, during a speedway race on Mablethorpe Beach. What should have been a standard post-Christmas race ended in a horrific high-speed crash that left Nigel in a coma with a Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)—a brain injury so severe that doctors told his wife, Julie, he would likely not survive, or would remain in a persistent vegetative state.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Crash: The moment Nigel’s speedway bike went straight into a concrete wall at full throttle.
- The "Room of Doom": The devastating prognosis Nigel’s family faced and the decision to keep him on life support.
- A True Miracle: Nigel’s journey from a 0% chance of recovery to sitting up in a hospital bed just 11 days later.
- The Aftermath: The immense mental toll the accident took on his wife, Julie, and how their lives were turned upside down in a matter of days.
Nigel is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the "never give up" attitude of the racing community. Grab a brew and join us for one of the most raw and powerful stories we’ve ever had on the show.

What REALLY goes on behind the scenes in the motorcycle industry?
In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with Luke Brackenbury — a man who’s spent over 20 years deep inside the motorcycle world. From Performance Bikes magazine to KTM UK, Bennetts, BeMoto and beyond… Luke’s seen it all.
But this isn’t just industry chat…
We dive into:
- What motorcycle journalists REALLY think
- The truth about influencers vs the industry
- Why turning your passion into a job can kill the love
- The changing future of motorcycling (and what’s coming next)
- The bikes we’d actually spend our own money on
- And some properly ridiculous stories from the golden era of bike media…
There’s also a brutally honest chat about mental health, purpose, and why doing what you love isn’t always as simple as it sounds.
If you ride… or you’re part of this world in any way… this one will hit home.

Motorcycle theft is becoming a massive problem for riders across the UK and beyond. But what happens when the victim decides to fight back?
In this episode of Bru Time, I’m joined by Matt Neale, founder of British motorcycle security company Fortlox. After suffering multiple bike thefts himself, Matt became determined to design a security system that could genuinely stand up to modern thieves armed with battery grinders and cutting tools.
That determination led to the creation of Fortlox and their flagship security products designed specifically to protect motorcycles in the real world.
We chat about:
- The moment Matt decided enough was enough after his bikes were stolen
- The reality of modern motorcycle theft gangs
- Why many traditional security products simply aren’t enough anymore
- The development of Fortlox Protex and X-Series security systems
- What riders should actually be doing to protect their bikes
- Building a British motorcycle security brand from scratch
If you care about protecting your bike, this is a conversation every rider should hear.

In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with Murt Walsh — better known as The Mad Leprechaun — to talk about life on wheels, the realities of loss within the racing community, and the emotional toll it can take.
After experiencing tragedy firsthand, Murt is taking on a 3000-mile ride in support of mental health charity Mind. We discuss grief, imposter syndrome, purpose, resilience, and why sometimes the only way forward… is to ride.

Dave Neal, host of the hugely popular Off Track Podcast, joins Bru Time for a candid conversation about his unexpected journey from lifelong motorcycle racing fan to respected voice within the British Superbikes paddock.
We dive into podcasting, racing culture, social media, burnout, integrity, the realities of working in motorsport, and the mindset that helped Dave carve his own path in an industry that rarely opens doors easily.
This is a conversation about passion, resilience, and building something meaningful without a master plan.
