    I really like listening to this podcast
    It’s great! One of the best and most informed discussions of motorcycling from two experienced journalists

    Great Podcast for new and old, (you’re not fooling anyone with that replica helmet), Motorcyclists.
    I really enjoy these guys. People I remember reading back in the days of slick print magazines I had to wait for each month to show up at my book shop here in the US. I’d buy PB and Bike then read them carefully cover to cover. These podcasts are the same. Crazy, fast moving, fun and funny. Thoughtful even. Great fun. Always make me want to dig the old bike out and go wheelie somewhere. Cheers!

    The best of the best
    If you like motorcycles, listen and listen often.

    Best bike Journo’s in the business
    The absolute best way to kill hours whilst travelling is listening to these two rattle on about bikes like you are in the pub with them. If you are from ‘murica and find Mufga’s New Jersey accent insulting - please write in and complain (so he does it more).

    Love the podcast. You both make it seem easy, which would indicate the preparedness you do behind the scenes. Always enjoy hearing of older bikes, which immediately leads to a internet search. Thanks, keep up the conversations.

    This is the best of all the motorcycle podcast. Simon and Martin have a great sense of humor and a wealth of knowledge on motorcycling and motorcycles.

    Great podcast. Funny. Informative.
  • John from Waltham
    Excellent podcast!
    This show is like having beers in your garage with a bunch of your riding buddies, if your riding buddies knew a metric ton of information on racing, riding and gear. Really well researched and produced. Top notch.

    Informative and Entertaining
    FEC is by far the best motorcycle podcast out there. I discovered the podcast about a year ago and worked my way through the entire back catalog. FEC stands out for a few reasons. Simon and Martin have vast experience with and deep understanding of motorcycles. They are personable and funny. I most appreciate the constant, unexpected left-turns their conversations take. Highly recommended.

    The ne plus ultra of moto podcasts!
    Have been a huge fan of Simon Hargreaves since his early days at PB. I have to admit that magazine was a rare, and expensive, indulgence during my college years. But, it provided a welcome break from the saccharin writing of all US moto-publications of the era. For years, none of us on this side of the pond had a clue what Simon sounded like. Now we know... and we get to hear his ever sharp insights and infectious enthusiasm. New-to-me Martin Fitz-Gibbons offers an excellent, slightly intellectual, “every man” counterpoint to Simon’s hooliganism. Listening is kind of like having an angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other... just like riding a motorcycle. The two of you are doing a fantastic job! Regards, -JFC

    By far the best moto podcast
    Was depressed that so many of the moto podcasts were dull. This is not one of them. Thank god for the folks who pointed me here.
  • Motoridernj
    The only one of its kind
    If your the type of person who can talk about all types of motorcycles for hours this is the podcast for you. These two Gents are both entertaining and informative. They are genuine and transparent almost to a fault and a credible Resource. Thy have recently shifted to less talk about moto racing which is a good thing bc it dominated the first 75 percent of their podcast. If your in your cage wishing you were riding then this podcast will bring you lots of joy on your commute. I hope they get the support and resources to do a weekly podcast at minimum. Well done!
  • Forestboy North
    GREAT GREAT GREAT moto pod!!!
    Can't wait to listen to these guys. Just like a casual conversation between educated friends at a pub. These two know there stuff, and when they don't it is even funnier. Wish they were closer, so that we could ride together.
  • FreezingKold
    Excellent stuff
    Bloody love this podcast. Seriously interesting and engaging. Covers all the stuff that matters.

    motorcycle bliss
    This is the best motorcycle podcast out. Even if your not a motorcycle fan their banter is brilliant. Beware this show is addicting.
  • mikebev73
    Strangely listenable
    Worth a listen

    Great British Humor and Motorbikes
    I love the wit of this pair, great overview of the motorcycling world.
  • Tron from Baltimore
    Motorcycling's Only...and still Best Podcast (in the UK, at least)
    Still going strong, I'm glad Simon and Martin didn't get bored after 10 episodes and quit, because this is absolutely the best podcast for motorcyclists who are into motorcycle racing, real road racing, bike industry news, etc. and both being Bike Magazine alumni certainly gives FEC clout. I'm still trying to become a guest host. I suppose I'd be a perfect third wheel...
  • Jackson160
    A total delight

  • Dutcher Stiles

  • GAP Designs
    Excellent!
    I’m new to this podcast and slowly catching up, but I’ve been reading Simon’s and Martin’s articles for years. This is the best biking podcast I’ve heard, very informative, funny and natural. I like the straight talk no BS attitudes these guys have. Keep ‘em coming! - Greg in Seattle

    Love it!
    Living in the States, it's great to hear the U.K. view of things. Keep up the good work!
  • MySpreeCanPassU
    The best motorcycle podcast in Britan
    I've been a fan of Simon's writing for years and when I found out he was doing a podcast I jumped on it. These two blokes discuss racing and current motorcycle stories. Well done lads, I look forward to purchasing a lot from your advertisers in the future,
  • Dicky360
    Brilliant
    Great podcast: funny, entertaining and filled with interesting motorcycle news. After reading the works of MFG and SiH, it's nice to hear two friends talk about a genuine passion
  • Kerry Lord
    Top of the line
    Now not only entertained by their scribble, but also when traveling in 4 wheel cage, taking away some of its dullness ( that's the cars' not the mags). Thank you guys!
