Bruce is joined by returning guest Andy Man Cam for an honest, unscripted, and extended chat about massive life pivots. From breaking a leg in three places with 18 titanium screws during an off-road spill in Spain to packing up everything, moving to Majorca, and launching a brand-new motorcycle tour business, Andy shares the unvarnished truth about recovery, resilience, and starting over.
They also tackle the realities of modern YouTube, the importance of maintaining perspective, dealing with physical setbacks, and what it truly means to choose a life that gives you more. Grab your favourite tipple, kick back, and enjoy the conversation!

For Episode 207, I'm joined by a true heavyweight of motorcycle journalism - Bruce Wilson, the long-standing editor of Fast Bikes Magazine.
In this bumper, wide-ranging chat, the two Bruce's dive deep into the wild, raucous early days of bike testing back in 2004, the evolution of motorcycle culture, legendary press launch antics (including the infamous hotel room R6), racing in BSB, and surviving the brutal realities of adventure bike riding in Morocco. Plus, we cover proper suspension setup, favourite UK tracks like Cadwell Park, and what it really takes to survive two decades in the biking media industry.
Grab a brew, sit back, and enjoy!

Ever wondered what it takes to build a custom motorcycle designed to smash a 400 mph land speed record?
In Episode 206 of Bru Time, Bruce sits down with Adam Fawsitt (founder) and Mark Taylor (technical director) from the Greyhound Land Speed Record Project. We dive deep into the engineering hurdles of beating a 70-year standing record, why Britain remains a powerhouse of innovation, and the sheer obsession required to take on an endeavour dominated by the US for nearly 90 years.
From computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and bespoke components to fighting for traction on dry lake beds and signing up TT legend Peter Hickman to pilot the beast, this is a masterclass in pushing boundaries and choosing more out of life.

In this episode of Bru Time, Bruce is joined by Tommy Lindley from Grip and Throttle motorcycle tours, for a wide-ranging, unscripted conversation over a glass (bottle) of whisky.
Tommy talks candidly about his background in mental health nursing, the realities of transitioning away from clinical shifts, and why he’s working hard to build a career around his true passion: motorcycle touring and community building. We also dive into Tommy's recent accident in France, the vital lessons learned about travel insurance and the GHIC card, tyre choices for adventure bikes, and a brilliant batch of listener questions covering dream pillions, favourite roads, and childhood nicknames.

In Episode 204 of the Bru Time Podcast, Bruce Smart sits down with Michael and Louisa Spice, founders of The Adventure Bike Collective. 

Described as "online dating for adventure motorbikes," the Collective was built to pull riders away from toxic social media scrolling and connect them in the real world to get out exploring trails and roads across the country.

Together, they discuss:
• The origins of The Adventure Bike Collective and moving away from social media noise
• Michael and Louisa's background running a commercial hot air ballooning business
• Louisa’s rapid transition into motorcycling on her CFMOTO 450MT
• The rise of accessible mid-weight adventure bikes vs. heavyweight 1200/1300s
• Current legal green laning in the UK, the TRF, and route accessibility in England vs. Scotland
• What "Choosing More" means after facing serious health battles and wake-up calls
• Listener questions from the Clan covering couple-run businesses, favorite trails, and whether cake beats a dessert lamb shank!
