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!

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!

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!

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!
