PHIL COSTELLO is the CEO of the NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM OF TASMANIA (NAMT) which is located in Tasmania’s north eastern city of Launceston.

The museum was originally established by Geoff and Sylvia Smedley in 1987 and run by them until 1915. A not-for-profit foundation was formed to re-establish the museum in 1996.

A new chapter began in September 2019 when the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania moves and re-opened at a new and modern premises in Lindsay Street, Invermay.

The museum has established itself as one of Australia’s finest automotive museums with displays of both classic motorcycles and cars.

In this podcast we spoke to Phil about the museum operation including the changing display themes, the hall of muscle which celebrates the Australian Muscle Car, vintage motorcycles, pre-modern motorcycles including some bikes that we all wish we had kept in our garages, and generally how the museum operates.

AARON ROGERS is a professional ride coach with the Australian branch of the California Superbike School. In this episode we explored his background, motivation and pathway into the famous riding school.

He and his wife own the 'Island Thai’ restaurant at Cowes on Phillip Island so he lives close to one of the best race tracks in the world - the Phillip Island GP Circuit. We have a strong suspicion that this has been to his riding advantage.

He is also now running an annual motorcycle tour called Mountains to MotoGP Thailand. Held in conjunction with the Thailand round of MotoGP races, it’s a perfect way to enjoy a super interesting tour of Thailand on a motorcycle, as well as take in the spectacle of MotoGP.

You can follow and get more information about Aaron and his Mountains to MotoGP Thailand tour from his social media accounts:

MIKE JONES (aka Mad Mike) is a professional motorcycle racer with a long history of success both here in Australia and in Europe.

At the time of recording he had won three ASBK championships and is working hard to win that elusive fourth. He has achieved what few have in riding multiple times as a wild card entry in the MotoGP championship. He has raced exrtensively in Europe and in spite of his level of achievement, remains one of the nicest people you will ever meet on track.

His story is a fantastic example of dedication and commitment to becoming great at some endeavour from which we can all learn.
