This episode is a dolly mixture assortment, a smorgasbord of things, that we've been up to and what we've been looking at since last time. An e-bike crash, the Dundee demo day, the state of the roads in Scotland, the rise and fall of different types of motorcycle, Liberty's acquisition of Dorna, the Pecco/Marquez crash at Portimao, various bits of DMG news and the time Mike lost his GoPro.

In this episode Andrew & Mike discuss their experience of exhibiting and attending the MCN Scottish Motorcycle Show on 16 & 17 March 2024. They talk about the background to the show, how and why the Ducati Glasgow & Dundee dealerships were exhibiting, and how all the racing legends came together on the stand. Later on they explore the full universe of motorcycling that the show's 3 halls represent and ask the question, 'what will happen to all the classic bikes when the current owners leave the planet?'.

We are back with Episode 2. Sometimes in life, you have to be reactive. If you see a new family member walking by, you have to grab him and have a chat. Unexpectedly, we got the chance to talk to motorcycle racer Glenn Irwin about him joining the DMG family as an ambassador, his recent trip with us and some of our customers to Bologna, his off season training regime, as well as his motivations and aspirations for the North West 200 and the British Superbike Championship in 2024
