Torq Moto returns! Tom Fuller joins DocWob and ‘Jeffro' Perrett for the first episode of 2025 for more ‘pub bar style' chat as the three discuss Tom's love for motocross and how it's steered him on a path to becoming one of the best and most respected helmet sprayers in the business.In this first episode, the trio discuss Tom's early years, from how he got into the sport following in his dad's footsteps to watching three-time World 500cc champion Dave Thorpe regularly getting training motos in just a stone's throw away from his home near the Old Dean in Camberley, and how it inspired him and drew him further into the sport. Tom talks with great affection about getting his first motorcycle along with his brother Toby and getting going in the sport and how that led him on to racing the British four-stroke championship in the late 90s and 00s and setting up his own team with his good friend Stacey Harman.More reminiscing continues when the subject turns to Moto Magazine, where all three of them played their part in shaking up the establishment and bringing the magazine to life. Tom discusses his photographic heroes, and of course, there are some tales from back in the day, notably the parties that quickly became legendary at the Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh.

Torq Moto is back! After a Christmas and ‘off-season' winter break, Torq Moto returns this Thursday with the first of two episodes with guest Tom Fuller.Tom joins Doc Wobs and ‘Jeffro' Perrett for the first episode of 2025 for more ‘pub bar style' chat as the three discuss Tom's love for motocross and how it's steered him on a path to becoming one of the best and most respected helmet sprayers in the business. In this first episode, the trio discuss Tom's early years from how he got into the sport following in his dad's footsteps to watching three-time World 500cc champion Dave Thorpe regularly getting training motos in just a stone's throw away from his home near the Old Dean in Camberley and how it inspired him and drew him further into the sport. Tom talks with great affection about getting his first motorcycle along with his brother Toby and getting going in the sport and how that led him on to racing the British four-stroke championship in the late 90's and noughties and setting up his own team with his good friend Stacey Harman. More reminiscing continues in full flow when they get on to the subject of Moto Magazine from back in the day where all three of them played their part in shaking up the establishment and bringing the magazine to life, with Tom as a contributing photographer and writer and Wobs and Jeffro as editors. Tom discusses his photographic heroes and of course, there's some tales of the Moto Mag days, notably the parties that quickly became legendary at the Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh. In episode two to follow, Tom goes into more detail on the process of spraying and designing helmets, what his 'Image Design Custom' company deliver and there's the inevitable discussion about MX fashion and kit design where opinions vary. 

‘Put to the Sword'  The Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon welcomes former multiple British champion and GP winner Stephen Sword to the sofa for a catch up this week. ‘Swordy' was one of the UK's top pro racers throughout the mid to late 90's and most of the noughties and was one of the most popular riders in the British paddock with a smooth style and quiet demeanour but an obvious grit and determination when the helmet went on. In this first of two episodes hosts ‘Jeffro' Perrett and ‘Doc Wobs' put questions to Swordy about the earlier part of his career and how it all started from his dad's love of the sport and putting in the miles from their home in Lockerbie, Scotland. Steven soon found himself winning all over the country and picked up a ride with Team Green and from there quickly established himself as one of the U.K's hot prospects and at a young age he left his family home and his parent behind to move south to Marshfield, South Gloucester to race for the Holt JCB Kawasaki team. Swordy talks with great affection about his time living with and riding for the Church family and how they not only helped him become a better rider with a clear focus but taught him important life lessons. Getting into the thick of it with the best years of his career the trio discuss the teams and his significant and most memorable races from his time riding for Dave Thorpe's CAT Finning Honda team through to the best years of his GP career with Factory Kawasaki and of course they had to discuss his rivalry with fellow Scot Billy Mackenzie and their relationship down the years! For someone who didn't really say too much in his racing days, Swordy certainly has plenty to say in this podcast and it's a good insight into the career of one of Britain's best. 

King David returns for more ‘Torq' Following on from the first episode of the Dave Thorpe interview on the Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon, it's now time for part two with Britain's most successful motocross racer. With so much to cover in his amazing MX career and just like his world titles, one simply wasn't enough!  In the second instalment of the interview Dave follows on with hosts ‘Jeffro' Perrett and DocWob from where we parked up the first interview talking about what it was like to win his first 500cc world championship. A further two world championships followed (well, four actually, if you include his world vets championship!) and as Dave explains they were much tougher to come by. He also looks back on the latter years of his career and reflects on when it was to call time on his racing and his life in the sport after all that awesome run as world class athlete in a golden generation. Not only is DT's career incredibly successful, but it's also fascinating. In this episode Dave delves into what it's like being a team manager and the steep learning curve involved with that, like how each rider is different and particular to him. He also talks about his current signing and British champion Conrad Mewse and gives his opinion of where Conrad is at in his career. Of course, all being patriotic Brits we couldn't let the opportunity slip by without taking about his role as Team GB's MXDN team manager and that brilliant win at Roggenburg, Switzerland in 1994 that sent shock waves through World Motocross by putting an end to Team USA's 13-year win streak. With such an amazing career in the sport and being a genuine idol for an entire generation it's an interview you don't want to miss.  Make sure you catch part one before diving into part two!

Kurt's Confessions This week's Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon sees yet another big hitter of 80's and 90's British motocross joining US - DocWob and ‘Jeffro' Perrett. Kurt Nicoll calls into Torq Moto HQ for a candid chat on his brilliant MX career, with this being the first of a two-part interview.  Nicoll's MX racing career has been a fascinating one, and he's still very much involved with the sport. Now residing in California running his ‘Champion MX California Vacations' business to great effect offering dirt bike experiences on some iconic tracks. In this first episode the trio go back to the very beginning and discuss how Nicoll got started in the sport, which was always likely to happen with his dad Dave being a MXGP racer. He talks about how he found himself on a 500cc bike at an early age and never really looked back. Something he doesn't like to do too much, but in this case, we prompted him and it was a bit of an eye opener!  There's several moments like that during the interview that he really opens up on his career and you'll get to see the real Kurt Nicoll and not the one that was 'there for business' back in the day as he puts it. From coming back from a badly broken leg that nearly finished his career before it really had a chance to flourish to discussing those ‘Bridesmaid' moments where he came so close to winning that elusive world title multiple times and his healthy rivalry with Dave Thorpe.

King David ‘Torq's Moto' The Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon welcomes three-time 500cc World and multiple British champion David Thorpe as this week's guest. With so much to talk about with hosts ‘Jeffro' Perrett and Doc Wob on his amazing career and his opinions on the here and now of motocross this will be the first instalment of two for the Dave Thorpe interview. No doubt about it, Thorpe is the ‘King' of UK motocross royalty as Great Britain's most successful rider on the world stage and here in the first episode he talks about the journey to the very top and that first world 500cc crown back in 1985. The trio discuss the early years of his career and how it all started as young kid living in Surrey and the influence of his parents, particularly his father Keith who was his mechanic for virtually all of his racing career. ‘DT' talks about the finer details of his youth and amateur career that feature in his recently released book 'No Regrets…. well almost' and the decision to focus on motocross instead of football that set him on the way as a motocross icon and those epic and glory days of 500cc World championship motocross in the eighties. All the good stuff on his career up to the end of 1985 is here, from his time racing for Honda with dispensation to race the AMCA at 15, through to his first stint with Kawasaki and working with Alex Wright before going back to Honda and signing with HRC and the pressures and expectation that came with that. Dave talks openly about potentially losing his HRC factory ride in the latter part of 1984 before turning it around in style by winning the last six races of the season, starting with a 1-1 victory at the British GP at Hawkstone Park that ultimately secured his ride with Honda and gave him the platform to go on to win his three world titles and repay their faith in him. Episode one of the ‘Dave Thorpe' Interview on the Torq Moto Podcast Show driven by Talon is available on Apple and Spotify and will be aired on the Torq Moto YouTube channel this Thursday at ????. Episode two picks up Dave's career from the beginning of 1986 with the target of that #1 on his back to his thoughts on current-day motocross and his role with Honda which will drop next month.
