    Absolutely loved these mate, there's nothing like the stories from someone who's been there, done that, bought the T shirt, and used it as an oily rag. Well done again on some brilliant questions and a great rapport as always, which brings the absolute best out of your guests.

    I'm the same "vintage" as Mick and from the same-ish county.. Yorkshire.. So naturally I watched and cheered Mick on at the TT in the 70's and during the brilliant Grant-Sheene "tussles" at Olivers Mount etc.. Amazing times.. and you "had to be there" to appreciate them.. Well done Mick and co for saving Olivers Mount..

    Brilliant stuff with the legend that is Mick. Being of an age (63) I can remember seeing the man in action many times. Proper racer. Nice one again Dave and team.

    It’s our pleasure, Raymond - we’ve more to come as we get to Springtime and we’ll have Granty, Rog and Reg together for a full show when their diaries allow plus we still need Reg on his own!

    I remember watching the racing at Oliver’s Mount and the battles between Mick and Barry in the mid 70’s as a kid…these were great memories of my childhood and early teens…thanks for those great memories…also remember getting Mick’s autograph at Silloth many years ago 👍🏁

    Mick Grant what a legend. The podcasts were brilliant. I have great memories of club racing when Mick was in the same races one day l was pitched up next to him at Caldwell after the race which Mike won I came in after the race and Mick was having a laugh with Ivan Hackman who was on a brand new Sealey G50 Mick was on his old Velocet 500 and Mick was saying to him you need to trade the Sealey in for a Velocet. I was on a Norton with an AJS engine not very competitive but great fun.

    No question, Mark. It’s already the Ducati Cup with the occasional KTM cameo, losing another manufacturer would be disastrous for the show.
