Moto PG Ep 086: Happy Merrynium
December 27th, 2022 | 31 mins 46 secs
Last week it was Whitney Houston but the inspiration for this week's episode comes from the late, great English comedian Sean Lock who coined the magnificent term 'Merrynium' to describe the week between Christmas and New Year. You know, that bit between two other bits that nobody's really sure what to do with? So to celebrate the 2022 Merrynium, we bring you Episode 4 of the Moto PG Summer Sessions. Today's guest is Nigel Harvey, a man everybody who loves motorcycles and motorcycling should want to know because Nigel is the Marketing Director of Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Triumph Australia. That means Nigel has access to some of the most beautiful motorcycles on the planet and also explains why Boris loves him so much. Enjoy.

Moto PG Ep 069: 'This Sh!t Writes Itself'
June 8th, 2022 | 1 hr 34 mins
Usually in life we celebrate the high achievers. The ones who do the things we ourselves could not. Think Federer, Woods, Rossi and - yes - even Marquez. But every now and then the Lord gifts us an individual so glorious in their stupidity, so munted in their lack of ability, so genuinely and universally unlikeable that we must stop. And reflect. And then applaud and cheer the staggering lack of talent and self awareness, and revel in their failures. In our midst, in 2022, such a character exists but we shall not speak his name because, as Tug so eloquently points out, there is no need. This sh**t does indeed write itself. (Except the poem. Borrie writes those and what a work of art this week's is). You know what to do next, people. Enjoy.

Moto PG Ep 058: We're Back, Bitches, With Chris Vermeulen
February 3rd, 2022 | 1 hr 3 mins
It's 2022 bitches and the boys are back. But this time, they're organised. According to Boris, the show now has a 'format' and 'segments' and 'music' and 'more sponsors' which all sounds dead boring, truth be told. But the good news is the crew hasn't changed and the magic that happens when Freido, Tug and Boris turn on the mics remains - this time with a dash of the legendary Chris Vermeulen! Episode 1 of 2022 is just a warm up before the real fun starts next week so ease into the season with some inspired analysis and a Boris poem. What better way could there be to do it?

Moto PG Ep 057: Joel Kelso The Ginger Ninja (or Little Orange in Europe)
December 27th, 2021 | 47 mins 21 secs
Joel 'The Ginger Ninja' Kelso joins Boris and Freido in the studio for a special episode of the MotoPG pod. Opportunities like this don't come along too often but when they do you grab them. Unless you're Tug, in which case you find something else to do which is apparently more important. For the rest of us, sit back and enjoy a chat with one of the rising stars of world motorcycle racing.

Moto PG Ep 056: Mark Willis Unplugged
December 6th, 2021 | 58 mins 19 secs
Sure it was a long ride and yes it pelted rain all the way home Sunday but nobody died (as far as we know) and anybody who was at Singleton to hear Mark Willis talk about his Moto GP career and all other things racing will tell you it was worth it. Willis was the star of the show in this fireside chat with Boris, Tug and Freido (and an audience of about 80 diehard motorcycle fans) at the Singleton Ride and Record weekend. It's bike talk at its best and now you get to enjoy it, too (but without the pelting rain and free beer. Or the first seven minutes of the interview which were lost to the gremlins of digital technology).

Moto PG Ep 055: The Year In Review
November 29th, 2021 | 1 hr 24 mins
Sitting around talking about motorcycles is great but it's not a patch on getting out there and actually doing it. If you didn't make it to the end of year Singleton Ride and Record it's probably your own fault but because the Moto PG team are altruists at heart, they will allow you to listen in to the goings on of that evening. This is part one (even though it was recorded as part two but you don't need to worry about that) , a simultaneously comprehensive and incomprehensible wrap of all the action from season 2021. Next week, come back for a brilliant chat with former Moto GP rider Mark Willis.

Moto PG Ep 054: Marquez Is Blind and Pol Is Broke and HRC Is Now A Joke
November 17th, 2021 | 58 mins 17 secs
They say all good things must come to an end and so it is with MotoGP season 2021 and the career of one of the all time greats, Valentino Rossi. It's an episode tinged with sadness at these realisations but that soon passes as the usual ingredients that make this the greatest motorcycling podcast in the world bubble to the surface: profanity, poetry and p*** taking. And just because the racing is finished for the year doesn't mean we are so keep an eye out in the usual places for some truly magnificent end of year content.

Moto PG Ep 053: The Blind Rhino In The Fog
November 10th, 2021 | 1 hr 16 mins
It takes a lot to knock MotoGP off it's poem perch but it's happened this week thanks to South Africa' s pride and joy, the Blind Rhino Darryn Binder. Baby Jesus (Pedro Acosta) was crowned Moto 3 champion in Portimao thanks to Binder and for his efforts in taking out Dennis Foggia and handing Acosta the title Binder will now be forever immortalised in a Boris ode. Praise doesn't come any higher. Come for the poem but stay for the discussion about Rossi's looming last ride, Moto2, plans for the Singleton trip with the crew on November 20 and more.

Moto PG Ep 052 - Fabulous - The Sexy Idiot Savant
October 27th, 2021 | 1 hr 13 mins
There is a new King of Moto GP and so moved was Boris by the crowning of France's first world champion that he penned a poem in honour of Fabulous Fabio. As always, it's a highlight of the show but it's just one nugget of brilliance among many as the boys return to the studio to record face to face for the first time in three months. It's irreverent, disrespectful, anti establishment and everythignelse you've come to expect from these three reprobates and as always, it's outstanding.

Moto PG Ep 051: A Little Ditty About Jack And Joan
October 6th, 2021 | 1 hr 36 mins
Will this be the one that gets us sued? Maybe. What started out as the greatest motorcycling podcast in the world (and still is) has morphed over time and is now also a legitimate literary vehicle. Boris' poems have added a dimension to the Moto PG Podcast that, frankly, we never expected. And what we all thought at first would be a one off bit of fun has now become a 'must listen' segment. Perhaps the only 'must listen' segment, if we're honest. This week's offering is at least as good as any that have come before and perhaps even better. That's a judgement for you to make. So listen. And learn. And grow. As a person and as a motorcyclist. And join our Patreon and make us rich. It is literally the least you could do.
