Top man Dave, grown as a host over the last number of years and knows seemingly everyone in the BSB paddock

It takes a long time to get to know that people but it’s worth the hours and hours of chat, listening and learning 😊 cheers, Owain 🙏🏼

Well done Jen you were mega 👏👏x

I remember Dave when he was at Paddock Chatter as I was starting out a small business in BSB. What a legend of a guy, so helpful and friendly. Dave even had the time to lend an ear and listen to the problems I was having with the business and someone I consider to be a genuine, true friend. Hope to meet up with you at the TT this year, buddy. 😉

Absolutely priceless, loved every second, Jen was fantastic, and Dave was so open, honest and his usual humble self. Hopefully people can see the years and years of dedication, determination, and resilience that has resulted in Off Track.

A great, long awaited chat and Q&A session with the PodFather himself. Excellent work Jen and great getting the questions covered but without just reading them one by one, top work. Knew most of the story and answers but some were enlightening and glad to hear a few names and events from the past that I recall from a fan, listener, reader and now good mate's point of view. Still remember first seeing you in 125 paddock as I'd taken my son, who's called Jordan, to Brands so we supported Jordan Weaving simply via the same first name so walking around the paddock found his team tent (with you in it). Then hearing you on MotoPod for all those years and first meeting you in the pitman of a cold windy Donington when Jordan was doing his first test with Russo Racing and you'd said on MotoPod to find you and get your free stickers....Everyone loves a sticker, eh mate...!!! And many years later at the NEC Show last year we did it again with you dishing out the stickers... but this time stickers of your OWN podcast brand. Super proud of all you've done and glad to be a little tiny supporter and part of the journey. Long may it continue pal.... Definitely need a follow up at the end of the season.

I did wonder about your backstory Dave so that was really interesting. Really respect your belief in setting up Off Track when, as you said yourself, CTR was already up and running as an established and popular pod. I admire your vision to see something you could add to what was already available, not to mention actually going ahead and doing it. It will be interesting to see where you take it going forward but please don't stop doing some interviews with the riders from the past as I've really enjoyed those and for me that's an area you've absolutely nailed. Good luck with it and thanks for the content.

Loved watching this with both you and Jen. So many memories with the names from twitter you mentioned. Me and our Jo had the pleasure of meeting you at the Carol Nash or the other major insurance company (my memory isn’t the best these days) event 2012 Oulton Park. Good old twitter seen us invited, which later brought the opportunity for our Jo to go pillion with JT. I left twitter around 2015 as it was moving in a different direction to what we bike fans were enjoying. Since then, I’ve followed your story through being friends with both you and Jen through FB. Keep up the great work Dave. You deserve all the success you’ve had and continue to have. Much love to you both and when’s the wedding? 😋 Debs_17

I remember that day well! It was the launch of Bennetts Bike Social. That was a really good day and the Bike Social thing is going from strength to strength still. Twitter definitely isn’t what it was, that’s a fact. There are still good people on there but not the same conversations anymore - when we were all on there it was like us all in a really big room wandering around chatting, now it’s more like a thousand people in a phone box all with an opinion on something. Life’s changed for us all in that time, the kids are grown up, life events happen but we’re still here happy in our own little worlds and I love that 😁 Thanks for your message Debs, it’s really made my day 😊

This was terrific! Touching on growing things I would like to hear from a couple of riders from Moto America. Last season was good and free to view and this season has started really well. Josh Herrin is a big personality and multiple Daytona winner. Whatever direction you take the podcast it's going to be good!
