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:

The Manton Park race track was opened in 2023.
Located just outside Townsville, up in the far north of Queensland, this project has been a long time coming and a major step in providing proper track facilitaties for the folk up there.
In this episode Jorge talks about his recent experience riding that track on a BMW S1000RR. The track might still be considered to be 'green' having only been used a small number of times. As Jorge says, it is definitely the smoothest asphalt track he has ever ridden on.
A highly technical track that runs clockwise for around 2.7 kilometres, the track presents an "interesting puzzle" for the serious rider wanting to go fast.
The Road Racing Association of Townsville (RRAT), runs the motorcycle events at this track and as Jorge says, put on a perfect, professionally run weekend event that gave him the opportunity to go and take a look, get a feel for it, meet people from the club, and open the throttle fully on the beemer.

What value is there for a sports bike / Superbike rider to practice on a dirt bike? This podcast explores some of the reasons beyond just getting used to a bike sliding; reasons that most people are totally unaware of.
It will help us understand why some of the fastest and most successful racers in the world have a flat track racing back ground (Kenny Roberts, Casey Stoner etc), or they practice frequently on flat track (Valentino Rossi, Pecco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez etc) and on motocross tracks (Alex and Marc Marquez, Jack Miller etc).—————

What is the most powerful motorcycle in the world today?
I always want to know which bike is the fastest and most powerful, typical of the average bike junkie I guess. So I did some research and decided I would rank bikes based on Power to Weight ratio (i.e. horsepower / wet weight). Agree or disagree, it doesn't matter. I found the results quite interesting as you might.
I also found out that the most powerful bike is not the one I thought it would be.

Aidan Clarke is our guest on this episode.
Aidan is the founder of SA1NT, a clothing company based in Melbourne, Australia. In this episode he tells the story of how the company came about, and what its focus is in the world of motorcycle rider safety.
What prompted this conversation was our recognition that the SA1NT Moto products are quite unique, incredibly fashionable, super high quality, and simply one of the coolest brands. And we wanted to know more about it and get the story directly from the founder.
The best way to convey what this company is about is to simply provide the same information that is provided on their website - https://www.saint.cc/
“SA1NT evolved from a mission to design apparel without compromise. Originally developed for motorcycle riders, SA1NT was built on a passion to innovate technical fabrics and fuse them with everyday style and comfort. In the past, riders either sacrificed style for safety or worse, safety for style. SA1NT eliminated this compromise by introducing the world’s first single layer, CE approved motorcycle denim. Tailored style, UNBREAKABLE strength.
The result of more than 12 months of research and development, SA1NT’s UNBREAKABLE denim was the world’s first CE approved, single layer denim. Blending denim with Dyneema®, (the same fibre that tethers space shuttles, armours helicopters and stops bullets), SA1NT created a fabric capable of sliding down the road for 6 seconds, without compromising comfort and style.”
There you go, that's SA1NT. Enjoy the conversation.

Brad Smith - Brad is founder and CEO of Braaap Motorcycles. His entrepreneurial spirit was revealed at a young age when he started Braaap from a backyard shed in his early teens. He imported his first 10 motorcycles at 16, and then lost all his money.
Most people would have given up, but not this guy.
He saved his money, then travelled overseas where he met with manufacturers face to face, with the goal of finding a manufacturing partner who could produce the bike he had designed.
After being laughed out of more than 50 factories Brad finally found a manufacturer who believed in him and his vision. And that turned his dream into reality to become what we know today as Braaap Motorcycles.
Occasionally we get to meet someone who really leaves an impression. And that is exactly what happened here when George met Brad and had the chance to chat with him about his life with Braaap Motorcycles.
ABOUT BRAAAP MOTORCYCLES
Braaap is an Australian motorcycle company that was founded in Tasmania in 2005. The Braaap story is very cool as they are a family business that is very clearly shaking up the motorcycle industry.
At Braaap (pronounced brarp), they design and develop their own motorcycles. R&D is also completed locally utilising Australian engineering standards.
They produce and assemble the motorcycles themselves, and use “Australian Engineering and global manufacturing efficiencies to produce a world class motorcycle that is backed by a Lifetime Warranty.”
Definitely worth a visit to their web site at - https://braaapmotorcycles.com

Now after two years of forced mothballing because of the isolations and border crossing issues of the COVID19 pandemic, the Superbike school is back up and running and alive and well. So the time was right to chat about the school.
In this episode, George spoke to Adrian about his motivation for buying the school, the future of the school, BMW motorcycles and Metzeler tyres, how the school works and even some great news about new tracks the school will potentially visit.
