S5 Ep3: Dutch Van Someren: We set up ‘Bike Shed’ as a destination for all who love bike culture.
It's been 10 years since Dutch and Vikki Van Someren first opened Bike Shed in Shoreditch in London, and what a 10 years it's been! What they've done together is create the ultimate destination for lovers of bike culture, and establish something unique in the market in this country and beyond. There's now a Bike Shed in Los Angeles and soon to be one opening up in Dubai, and I wouldn't bet against another half a dozen world wide in the next few years! Beyond the business side, Dutch is fuelled by a passion for owning and riding beautiful two wheeled machines, as he explains to Iwan and Prutts in this brilliant episode!

S5 Ep2: Jenny Tinmouth: Doing bike stunts with Tom Cruise on 'Mission Impossible' was incredible!
Jenny Tinmouth is an exceptionally talented British bike racer, and as the current holder of the female lap record at the Isle of Man TT averaging 120mph over the 37 mile course, to say that she's rapid is an understatement! She's also the first woman to have competed in the British Superbike Championship, so the records keep getting broken! These days she'll either be filming stunt sequences with Tom Cruise on the Mission Impossible films, or fixing bikes in her garage in Ellesmere Port, both of which she's equally excited about! This is a brilliant episode and Prutts and Iwan are blown away by the stories of Jenny travelling on Tom Cruise's private jet!

S4 Ep7: UsernameKate: There are pros and cons being a woman in this industry!
There’s not many ladies in the world of motorcycle reviews and top two wheeled content, which means that Usernamekate has had to work harder than most to get where she is today and it’s certainly been worth it. Self taught to know all there is to know about the latest bikes on the market, Kate is constantly off on product launches and road tests around the world, doing what she loves and now making a living out of it.

Motorsport is expensive at every level, and when you don't come from an affluent background like Davey Todd, it's a long and tough journey to get the top. Davey has done it the hard way, sleeping in his van, working and riding for nothing and owing so much to his parents who worked multiple jobs to keep the dream alive and support the family. Now that Davey is sitting at the top of his game in international road racing and BSB, It makes the sacrifice and pain that they all went through, that much sweeter!

Steve has raced himself and rubbed shoulders with the big boys, he's been a respected motorcycle dealer, he's done charity rides on a pink R1 in pink leathers with the likes of Danny John Jules from Red Dwarf, but his proudest achievement must surely be the family's FAB Academy, which has helped develop the careers of some of the biggest names in British motorcycle racing and continues to do so!
