I used to love the "Fast Bike" videos in the late 90's. Inspirational and good memories of attempting to re-create! I bought a 916 off the back of "Fast Bikes". Shakey and the lads hooning in the South of France was brilliant.

Ahh this is incredible! I met Shakey at a mutual friends wedding a few years back, absolute gent! Was devastated when he had his career changing accident, but glad he has his amazing family unit around him. Cheers for another brilliant video! #legend

I had the privilege of meeting Shakey at Kyalami in 2009. The only guy in the pits who would make the time to talk to fans. An absolute legend.

Never a truer word spoken as to clearing your head when riding. Having just got back from my first ride of the year and hearing this. Concentration and observation with no distractions. This is from someone in their seventies, I feel good.🙂

Shakey is a total legend. I still have a bunch of videos from his early days with Fast Bikes. Good times!

Mint. Lovely to see some bikes on the channel! I've been a bit out of the loop with bike racing(Chris Walker/Neil Hodgson BSB scraps were my era) so listening to Shakey spin a good yarn is a real pleasure.

Nothing beats the tranquility,thrill and focus of a motorbike ride. A Saturday morning on the country roads really does clear the mind

What a nice chap Shane is, strong will but so nice and down to earth. Johnny thank you, these are Gold.

The day Shakey did the double against WSB teams at Brands Hatch as a wild card was also the highest attendance at a sporting event in the UK ever, I remember it well, great memories especially for the 250,000 spectators

Shane Byrne, what a total class act. Superb interview, tanks for sharing it with us Jonny.

Not being into bikes I'd never heard of him, but that's one of the best interviews you've done, what a top bloke

You played a blinder with this one Jonny. Long time fan of Shakey and miss him massively. I owe him a fortune for all the years of enjoyment watching BSB. Part Deux, let's have at it!

Loved the question about bikes and mental health, bikes for me are the best way to go forget about life problems.

Nearly pressed the like button through the screen! More bikes please. More Shakey please. Just more of this! 🔥

Great interview, Shakeys a legend! Didn't realise how bad his crash was and I am even more in awe!

Loved this Idol Chat, always amazes me the trust these guys put in their machines! Would be great to see an Idol Chat with John McGuiness at some point! Or even another legend Steve Parrish. Orrrr a double Idol Chat with both of them 🙏 This channel is always such a great watch no matter the content. ❤️

Michael Dunlop would be another 👌🏻👍🏻

I was racing at the weekend after this accident happened. We turned up to the circuit on the Thursday to hear that the accident had happened and that it was Shakey. Was pretty shocked to hear it to be honest. I ended up having couple of crashes that weekend but thankfully walking away from both 👍🏻

Brlliant chat. Long time fan of Shakey and enjoyed every sec of this Late Brake Show. Shane puts the lie to the comment about never meeting ones heroes. His description of his injuries and his recovery, mental strength and enduring attitude are inspirational. Thank you Jonny.

Great interview Jonny with an absolute star. I followed his entire career, he was brilliant. I broke my back racing at Spa, was operated on, spent six months in a spinal unit and I've learned to walk again but still need a stick, he is so lucky given his injuries and I'm so pleased for him.

Another fantastic interview that could have been 5 hours long and I'd would have been all ears anyway now going to listen to it again

Really glad to have found this series. Thanks

Thanks Johnny that was great. Be nice to see some of his bikes and here their stories 👍

Coming up...

In the same way that Sir Nick Faldo made me become a golf fan Shakey did exactly the same for me in BSB. When he had his testing accident l did watch for while but it just wasn't the same so l no longer watch golf or BSB . And what a thoroughly nice guy ! You must have really enjoyed interviewing Shakey Jonny . One of your best and l accidently watched Part Deux first ! ....Terrific ! Thanks Jonny .

Such a great idea to interview Shane Byrne on the Late Brake Show. Thanks, Jonny, it was a delightful surprise. More please.

What a Legend. Followed Shakey for years. Respect is Due..

Great to see a biking legend on your show and to see a biking theme in general. Really enjoyed watching. Still hard to believe what Shakey went through from the accident, and to see him now is extraordinary, and wanting to get back to racing.

I really enjoyed this interview. He's a legend. Time for part2 when I know I have the time to enjoy it at leisure, I am loving it. I'm really happy to get some more bike variety on the channel, cheers!

I'm absolutely loving this 2 wheeled content! This is what a show should be. No more bikes or cars. Everything with wheels!!! Keep up the great content. Much love

I share Shakey's desire for new shiny fast bikes and cars. Whenever I got a new one, in my mind im thinking 🤔 what's next. Im really enjoying these interviews with Shane Shakey Byrne 👏👏👏👍

Does the thing, talks about it passionately but realistically, recognising the role of luck but not diminishing hard work, and doesn't talk to the police. Top bloke.

Fantastic! I have followed Shane since his Fast Bikes days and he always comes across as a real decent guy. Absolutely spot on about riding bikes being good for mental health, when I take mine for a blatt around Mid Wales any stresses/strains just melt away. The Late Brake Show just get's better and better, thanks for providing such fantastic content.

Pleasure.

I had no intention to sit through all this. Yet the time flied. Thanks Shakey, best wishes for the future. Indeed, I definitely think the bike is an excellent timeout, mindfulness time. Through recent depression, a ride I had a moment of allowing my mind to drift for 2 seconds, then again, I immediately turned around and went home. Hopefully get my head right this year.

Great vid. Shakey and the Fastbikes crew back in the day is the reason I ride sportsbikes. 👍🏻

Nice one Jonny, been following Shakey since 2002ish, top lad, regards to him and Petra, and the kids

I love your interviews. The only reason you can achieve the fantastic outcomes is because you have real knowledge combined with a genuine love of the topics being discussed. There's no fakery involved. The plain honesty of the notebook in hand with the (small number of) facts or questions that can't be kept in mind just shows this is not done through smoke and mirrors. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Many thanks!

Such a great bloke, knowing that he wants to race again has made my day. I can't wait.

A great interview with a British and World motorcycling legend. Shakey is number 1.

Great chat as always! Shakey is a lovely guy. Many moons ago, I worked at a BMW dealer, and my boss being a bike fan managed to persuade Shane to buy an M3 CSL. Now at the time, if you had a race license, you could order it with the limiter removed. However, at the time, BMW didn't recognize a Bike race license as valid! After many emails and an ECU returned to Germany, we made it happen. Apparently he didn't keep it long and replaced it with a Noble as it wasn't 'raw enough'! Keep it up Jonny

That was really good, loved it. Bikes are my thing really so was really good to hear Shakey tell his story. Watched him race many a time and that guy can really ride. Thanks Jonny 👍

Shakey is a legend! When I was 8 I wanted his autograph at Knockhill but had no pen. He took time out his day to find a pen to sign my book. He was a privateer, Never forget that! Also fast bike videos back in the day 👌🏼😂

Excellent stuff Jonny. I met Shakey a few times as nearly did some work with him, absolute top fella, great to see him back in top form.

A true Legend. Great idea to get Shakey on the show. Thanks to you both.

Top couple of videos with Shakey. Great content as always Johnny👌

Loved it Johnny. What a interesting chat and a really cool guy. Hope you get back racing soon Shane 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant, such an inspiration on many levels 👌

What a champion! Cheers for this Jonny, big follower of Shakey here ;-)

I really enjoyed this 'Idol Chat' I'm not even a motorsport or motorcycle fan, but it was a very relaxed interview and excellent presentation.

Brilliant. Loved this one. What a talented bloke...!!!

Awesome as always!. More bikes stuff please!. Cheers from Spain

When TV is gone, this is where all the people will come for Top entertainment, another great interview. Watched Shane when he was on his privateer bike at Brands, think it was silver, and you knew this guy was going places. Nice to read so much Love in the comments for Shane and Jonny.

I love the way bike racers are so passionate about what they do and accept that danger is part of the equation. Great interview and hopefully the first of many. These guys are the real petrolheads!!

Loved it. Great work 👍👍👍

Brilliant. As much as I love cars and I do, my heart is with bikes but racing bikes. I love MotoGP, BSBK and WSBK and I’ll be at endless meetings this year. Great see Shakey talking and when he smiles he really reminds me of my all time hero Barry Sheene.

Another cracking video 👌. Shane is a true gentleman, and such an interesting person to listen to. Thanks for sharing 👍

Great show. Shaky is a legend 👍

Absolutely awesome, yes I know mr. Shakey is not everybody’s favourite. But I have always thought he is a super talented racer. Great interview.

I had the absolute pleasure to meet Shakey privately. His humility (despite immense talent) was humbling. I've met a few famous people but he rates one of the most memorable. An absolute legend.

Great interview, I'm looking forward to the other bike racers.

Great chat! I listened to Shakey's audio book which is well worth a listen. Please, more bike chat :)

Great Idol chat Jonny, enjoyed that immensely, I've been watching Shakey progress in his career, since he was a road tester on the original Fast Bikes Magazine in the late 90's, so it's great to see him looking so well after all the pain and discomfort from that big crash. Actually Jonny, there is one question for Shakey, has he ever considered doing the IOM TT

Fantastic video, very enjoyable. Shakey is a legend, it would be fun to see more of these with bike guys in the future!🍻

Shane is a total legend , got to be a contender for the best idol chat you've done Jonny 👌 more content like this , perhaps shane as a car tester with his driving err experience shall we say 😂👌

Totally enjoyed that brilliant

Great interview looking forward to part two!

I ride a bike(s) and enjoy all levels of bike racing - thank you so much for this interview, Shane is a legend I didn’t really appreciate how injured he was - speedy recovery Shane👍.

Brilliant video, my dad was at Snetterton when Shakey had accident. Well done all the brilliant staff at Norfolk and Norwich

Great interview.sharkey what a star.watched him race for so many years.

My god - that RGV 250 is beautiful! Great to see some bike content on the channel, cheers Jonny and team!

Top notch stuff, great to see the PBM Kawasaki again, loved the way Shakey used to ride that thing

Awesome. More of this please . 🏍

Absolutely perfect for me this Jonny. Love bikes and Shakey and love you. Would love to see more bikers, as others have said in the comments. Great work

Not even started it yet but I know this is going to be a good one. I'd love to see as much two-wheeled content in TLBS as you can squeeze in around Chops' 'no bikes on the road' rule. Interviews aren't really his scene, but you'd have a great time talking to Guy Martin if you could get him. Great stories, resolutely grounded bloke still despite being a household name, and as well as the bikes you could bond over his rod-rodded 788hp Volvo.

Best one yet 👍

Shakey = legend. Love the bike content as much as the cars, Jonny 👍

Best interview with Shaky.Comes from car guy.

Fantatsic chat and an insight into a legend! More please!

Love Shakey love this channel,keep up the good work.

Fantastic interview Jonny! Shane’s the man…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚗

So pleased you got Shakey on the channel, he’s an absolute legend and a nice down to earth guy. I actually bought a house from him in 2002 in Sittingbourne.

Johnny and shakey fabulous double act .great interview pleasure to listen to.

Nice to have a Biking legend in. Brilliant content as always 👌

Brilliant video, love the channel, hats off to Shakey, what a career 👍👍.

Awesome stuff, really enjoyed that 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for a great interview. Shane is a great character, and a very good talker. But, just as important, Johnny did a great interview by letting him talk and not talking over him all the time. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this interview. I'm no5 a shake follower but I admire him & what he's achieved, it was a really good insight into his personality & achievements. An extremely talented nice guy

Great interview ,uncanny cos my name is Shane , was adopted at 6 months old ,my mother who brought me up didn’t drive or inspire me , and I was riding Honda 90s , down the field and council wasteland etc as a 13 yr old , was out at 12 midnight the night before my provisional at 16 , had loads of cars bikes , been banned 4 times , yrs ago , then owned most big bikes , zx10 , bus’s a etc etc , been round the tt circuit at 180 in places with the misses on the back , worked at Mallory park , for 4 yrs , and 20 yrs ago met shakey at the bike show N E C , he signed my bike jacket ,,, still own and wear it , in the summer months madness cheers shaneweightman uk 🇬🇧

I totally understand about the ‘struggle to compute’. About 5 years ago I rode a properly fast Benelli and was having a bit of sensory overload. I would seemingly only blip the throttle and BOOM next corner, brake, downshift, throttle out and BOOM, next corner all on public roads. Yikes! Too much for this old man. Great interview!

Followed Shakey’s BSB career from the beginning. Absolutely wonderful to see bikes on your channel Johnny 👍👍🏁🏁❤️❤️🥇🥇🏍🏍
