Episode five of the Bore and Stoke podcast is coming at you, and this week sees the band getting back together to talk about all the happenings in the moto world — and we even get a visit from an old cast member!

A big party and fan fest for Aprilia lovers, Nic tells us what he saw, how the event went, and why you’ll want to make it a destination in the future.
