Neil has done it all: bought old Ducatis, fixed them, raced them, fixed them again, and turned those experiences into some of the most honest storytelling in motorcycling. We dig into riding, racing, wrenching, and making documentaries that have nothing to do with motorcycles. Along the way we dive into random tangents like his cats and how he kicked my butt so bad on a bicycle ride that I’ve been a gym rat ever since. We also talk about Neil’s Long Hard Road series on Motorcycle.com — a deeply personal look at the highs and lows of riding — and where he thinks the world of moto journalism is headed in the age of YouTube, podcasts, and AI. If you like irreverent banter between two friends about motorcycles, life, and general randomness, this one’s for you. 00:00 Introducing Neil Graham 03:06 Introducing Neil’s cat! 04:35 What’s the deal with podcasts? 09:40 Saddlebags on a GSX-R750 11:30 Neil’s start in the biz 13:45 Neil’s start on two wheels 20:00 Racing…and burn out 28:17 How did you get involved with Ducatis? 36:00 Getting into this business at the wrong time 37:15 The Brough Superior Moto2 42:00 The BMW S1000RR and funny front ends 44:54 Neil and VW Busses 50:00 Racing, Risk, and Pride 53:00 Am I dead?
