• MotoGP - Flickering Lightbulbs

  Who's got six thumbs in total and is back in their own recording booths, with audio that won't melt your ears off? That's right, it's the Oxley Bom MotoGP Podcast! Now, if your are a rider and are currently enjoying some well-deserved R&R, you might want to turn off this podcast. Because they might be off the bike, but that doesn't mean they're off the hook.This week, we're taking a page from the book of Jeremy Burgess when he said: "Really, riders are like light bulbs: if they start to flicker you screw one out, and put another one in." It's a ruthless and mean thing to say, but MotoGP can be a really ruthless and mean sport. And nobody is more ruthless and mean than your hosts Mat and Peter, right?So come join us in our first part of a two-episode rider review. We'll be doing the 'deadwood' (another Burgess-coined term!) this week, and hand out our best-of-class awards next week. So press play, and hope you're not mentioned in this episode...Want more?

• SPECIAL - Live in London!

  Oh boy, have we got something special this time...Last week, Mat and Peter gave their first ever live performance at the Bike Shed in London. I thought we'd get filthy rich of it, but it turns out those silly sods were doing it for charity? Oh well, I guess we can do it for free this one time...To all those who attended: thank you so much! We hope you had a great night. And for all the rest of our listeners, we've got this recording to show you what happened. Mat and Peter joined forces with the legendary Keith Huewen to discuss the 2025 season. There was no plan, we went on for hours and the audio was of dubious quality. So what else is new, eh? We'll be back to our regularly scheduled broadcasting next week, but until then please consider donating to Two Wheels For Life. They're a charity that sends motorcycles to provide medical aid in areas of the world where other vehicles are less viable. So you get to help save lives, buy cool bikes and get more people riding them, all on the same dime. Pretty cool, right? Alright, see you all next week. Enjoy! Want more?

• MotoGP - Everybody Wants A Calm Ass!

  It's over! It's all over! Forever!What am I talking about? The 2025 MotoGP-season, of course. Layed to rest in Spain last week, gone but not forgotten, etc. We all had fun, didn't we? Okay, with that out of the way...it's on to the 2026 season! If you are part of our Patreon, you will already have heard Peter talk about the Valencia test in our special crossover episode. But there is a lot more to be said, and it's high time we did so. So, what did we see the teams testing in Spain last week? First of all: lot's of aero. There's no getting around it, but there's definitely different ways of implementing it. And let's just say that not every type is equally enjoyable for any particular rider. But it's not all just hot (and cold!) air. We've got mass dampeners, rigorous rider training regimens, Ducati's naming schemes and much, much more. So open a drink, turn up the volume, and remember: sometimes the only difference between a calm ass and a calamitous chatterbox is a mere 5 millimeter...(Oh, and thanks to everybody that showed up to our first live performance last week. We had a lot of fun. Hope you had, too! )Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

• Valencia 2025 - Spanish Stroll

  Hey everyone, this podcast is best experienced as a video. But for those of you who prefer us only going into your ears rather than your eyeballs, here's the audio only version!  And now that I have your ear......We're doing our first ever LIVE SHOW, this Friday at the Bike Shed in London! Want to be there? Then go buy your tickets here, and help support Two Wheels For Life! Okay, back to our regular programming...----And just like that, it's over. "Not with a bang, but with a whimper", as T.S. Elliot might have said if his idea of a whimper was the sound of 24 massive machines roaring around at absolutely insane speeds. And includes the crying and cheering of thousands of spectators. Regardless, it's a lot of excitement and your hosts need to gather their wits for a moment. So why not join us for a little walk behind the scenes at Valencia? Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

• Portimão 2025 - A Bump Or A Ram?

  Want to see a magic trick? Then just keep watching Marco Bezzechi as he disappears right in front of Álex Márquez and Pedro Acosta's eyes, only to magically reappear right next to them on the victory podium! Yes, today was the day that Bezzechi showed us all what he's capable of. Even Peter didn't see it coming! And 'the Bez' was far from the only one serving us spectacular scenes of racing delight, as we had some rough play and knife fighting going on. Did some of it include our favourite maniac Franco Morbidelli? It very well might! All I can tell you is that Mat and Peter can't seem to agree on this one, and that it involves the exact difference between a bump and a ram...Enjoy!Want more?
