S4 Ep7: UsernameKate: There are pros and cons being a woman in this industry!

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! His grandad was a road racer who was still riding at speed well into his 80s and his dad was similarly versed in all things bike! 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!

Live from his home in Australia, Ross Noble talks sharks, tours, tanks and of course his passion for collecting motorbikes and keeping them away from his wife! Where better to hide a book than in a library? As Ross illustrates with garage full of automotive toys! Ross also discusses the bike training he got from the legendary Dougie Lampkin and how we should try and get him on the podcast, so the challenge has been officially set and producer Dave has now got his work cut out!

He started vlogging on YouTube more than a decade ago when automotive content creation was still in its infancy, and now Chris Eades aka Baron Von Grumble has more than 278,000 subscribers to his channel! It's allowed Chris devote his whole life to his love of two wheels, with his own channel and also '44 Teeth' which is a huge online motorcycling magazine and Youtube community of which he's one of the founders! As if that wasn't enough, Chris has recently set up Pitboxx Motorcycle Storage, his latest venture which allows those who don't want to pay sky high insurance for keeping their bikes at home in the city, the opportunity to have them stored and properly cared for by Chris and his team at their brand new facility in rural Hampshire. So, when it comes to turning your hobby or pastime into a full time career, Chris has got it nailed, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts who have already booked in a trip to Hampshire for coffee and cakes, and a nosey around his impressive collection of bikes!

They don’t come much bigger than this in the world of motorcycling royalty, so who better to kick off series 4 of ‘Full Chat’ than Mr Carl Fogarty! The podcast was recorded on the 7thAugust 2025 at the Wray Bike Night in Lancashire, which is a monthly event that attracts up to a thousand bikers from all across the north of England. Iwan, Prutts and the visiting crowd were in their element listening to Foggy’s tales of superbike glory and being crowned king of the jungle, so with the sun shining on the particularly pretty village of Wray and its Bridge House Farm Tearooms, it was a lovely evening that created the perfect backdrop for the first live episode of the podcast!

It's the final episode of this series of Full Chat, and Iwan and Prutts are welcoming in a gentleman they've wanted to get on the show for a while now. Henry Cole is a TV presenter, a film director, a motorcycling adventurer and a man with pure mischief in his eyes! He's a man who's certainly lived life to the full and shows no sign of slowing down, and provides us with the perfect guest to close a fantastic run of shows.

When you think of bike racing legends, especially with the TT in mind, they don't come much bigger, better and more experienced than John McGuinness! In a 30 year plus career he's made 108 starts, accrued 23 wins and will forever be regarded as one of the greatest ever! He'll be 53 by the time he arrives on the Island again at the end of May and has no intentions of stopping just yet, as he explains to Prutts and Iwan in this brilliant episode!

On this week's edition of Full Chat, Iwan and Prutts talk to one of their favourite two wheeling YouTubers, who up until recently was completely anonymous! His real name is Harvey King, his YouTube handle is 'Harvey Rides Bikes' and here he is on the other side of the world in Australia, talking about the big decision to reveal his identity, and how he's turned his hobby into a business, reviewing bikes for a living!
