    Bru Time #185 - Luke Brackenbury (motorcycle PR)

    2026/03/25 | 2h 58 mins.
    What REALLY goes on behind the scenes in the motorcycle industry?
    In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with Luke Brackenbury — a man who’s spent over 20 years deep inside the motorcycle world. From Performance Bikes magazine to KTM UK, Bennetts, BeMoto and beyond… Luke’s seen it all.
    But this isn’t just industry chat…
    We dive into:
     What motorcycle journalists REALLY think 
     The truth about influencers vs the industry 
     Why turning your passion into a job can kill the love 
     The changing future of motorcycling (and what’s coming next) 
     The bikes we’d actually spend our own money on 
     And some properly ridiculous stories from the golden era of bike media… 
    There’s also a brutally honest chat about mental health, purpose, and why doing what you love isn’t always as simple as it sounds.
    If you ride… or you’re part of this world in any way… this one will hit home.

    Bru Time #184 - From Stolen Bikes to Beating the Thieves | Fortlox Founder Matt Neale

    2026/03/18 | 1h 50 mins.
    Motorcycle theft is becoming a massive problem for riders across the UK and beyond. But what happens when the victim decides to fight back?
    In this episode of Bru Time, I’m joined by Matt Neale, founder of British motorcycle security company Fortlox. After suffering multiple bike thefts himself, Matt became determined to design a security system that could genuinely stand up to modern thieves armed with battery grinders and cutting tools.
    That determination led to the creation of Fortlox and their flagship security products designed specifically to protect motorcycles in the real world.
    We chat about:
    The moment Matt decided enough was enough after his bikes were stolen
    The reality of modern motorcycle theft gangs
    Why many traditional security products simply aren’t enough anymore
    The development of Fortlox Protex and X-Series security systems
    What riders should actually be doing to protect their bikes
    Building a British motorcycle security brand from scratch
    If you care about protecting your bike, this is a conversation every rider should hear.
    You can find Fortlox here:

    Bru Time #183 - From TT Tragedy to 3000 Miles for Mind | The Mad Leprechaun’s Story

    2026/02/25 | 2h 31 mins.
    In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with Murt Walsh — better known as The Mad Leprechaun — to talk about life on wheels, the realities of loss within the racing community, and the emotional toll it can take.
    After experiencing tragedy firsthand, Murt is taking on a 3000-mile ride in support of mental health charity Mind. We discuss grief, imposter syndrome, purpose, resilience, and why sometimes the only way forward… is to ride.

    2026/02/18 | 3h 18 mins.
    Dave Neal, host of the hugely popular Off Track Podcast, joins Bru Time for a candid conversation about his unexpected journey from lifelong motorcycle racing fan to respected voice within the British Superbikes paddock.
    We dive into podcasting, racing culture, social media, burnout, integrity, the realities of working in motorsport, and the mindset that helped Dave carve his own path in an industry that rarely opens doors easily.
    This is a conversation about passion, resilience, and building something meaningful without a master plan.
