What a great guy and legend, thanks Jack Valentine.

I love the fact you guys still talk about Craig, top bloke, and a great family.

Thanks Paul, he’ll always be remembered 😊 and yeah, the Jones family are great people 🙏🏼

What a top bloke Jack is and what a great life he has had.

These are my favourites, so much great stuff in Jack's head, I think you've only scratched the surface 😅

Fantastic podcast Dave. Thank you. Jack V is a legend - we bought him a beer after a WorldSBK round at Miller Motorsports, Utah one year. Good times. Sentiments discussing Craig Jones were class and quite touching. Thank you.

Thanks Richard, so glad you enjoyed it ✊🏼

Thank you - it was so good to listen to Jack's take on the Petronas team and his involvement, I would love to hear more from him about that. It was also great to hear more about Craig and his achievements in his sadly all to short career. I am lucky enough to own a FP1 road bike here in the UK, and i am proud to have it painted in the race livery and wears Craigs numbers and decals with pride. #18

That’s incredibly cool and thanks so much for sharing that with us 😍 we get the earlier story to Foggy Petronas with Boz in a couple of weeks 🙌🏼

Thank you guys all the way from 🇬🇧 ❤

Excellent, what a lovely guy Jack is.

Now there's someone you need to get on for a future pod - Dave Leach. Another one of those riders who never seem to spring to most minds when people are thinking about great racers but Dave's results at the TT and the other road races speak for themself. Was a regular top competitor at Scarborough, when Scarborough mattered. Would love it if you could get him on.

Hi Talking about the Britain motorcycle it would be good if you could interview someone who was involved with it on the IOM TT when it raced there what a bike and a story

Some great stuff again, especially about Foggy Petronas. You need to ask Jack about his prostock drag racing, he was a european champion multiple times.

That was absolutely brilliant, what an interesting and fun life Jack has lived. Top top bloke. 👍

Awesome stories as always from Jack 😂😂.

Nice one, Jack. So many storstill to be told. All the best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

100% agree with your summary of the demise of TT radio commentary. It's like there's only 6 riders involved now where we used to hear about the top 15 plus. Also we now do not get to hear the bikes going through Glen Helen and accelerating out of Ramsey hairpin up towards Waterworks. The other thing I don't like is the emphasis about the lap record. The best way yo win is at the slowest possible pace, even at short circuits, but more so at the TT. Sorry just had to get that off my chest. 😂🏍🏁

Jock, I agree completely with all your points. No question radio and tv comms were absolutely obsessed with lap records last year to the point it was annoying. I don't care about lap records, if they need to be broken to win then fine but as you rightly say, any motorcycle race is about winning in the slowest possible time, minimising risk and coming home safe. Plus to the naked eye there's barely any difference in a 133 lap or a 136 lap.

Well done mate great pod 👏👏
