This week we’re joined by the brilliant Steve Parrish! 10 years after our first podcast together, we chat over a morning Xpress Coffee and look back at some of his career highlights, the lesser-known practical jokes, the Macau incident, his love for Scarborough’s Oliver’s Mount, the Goodwood Revival weekend and much more! As you’d expect it’s a very entertaining chat with Stavros and huge thanks to Chris and his team at Xpress Coffee for partnering with us on this episode - links to all Xpress Coffee's services are in the link below.
Enjoy!

Fabulous Steve is always fantastic in conversation I remember goin to those transatlantic races have great memories Dave Aldana and his skeleton suit spring to mind that caused some chatter at the time .One of the greatest jokers of all time we need more like him a great guy and that film must get made I could listen to Steve for hours and I remember being impressed whenever I saw his blue Roll's in the carpark at race meetings so cool they were really high flyers back then luv it . Cheers guys 👌👍

Agreed on all fronts, CM and can picture Dave Aldana now, iconic leathers! I’d have liked longer with Stavros but he’s a busy man. We’ll do another one later in the year all being well 🤞🏼

Steve briefly mentions the AGV Nations Cup run at Donington Park, a memorable, one off, superb, star studded event. Great comments about the impossibility of translating eras, Mick Grant once rode an ex Stan Woods TT winning Velocette and equaled Stan's time of back in the day. Stan was there and congratulated Mick on doing so, Mick though was in awe of Stan as the tyres he rode with were so much better and the circuit less bumpy and faster.

@@OffTrack_Podcast Hi Dave.Glad to hear from you.I saw Pat Hennen died in the MCN.Steve Parrish never mentioned it in the interview about Barry Sheenes rivals but he was like Rossi when it came to digging out his competitor's. When Pat Hennen was signed tothe factory Suzuki squad Barry Sheene said in his weekly column "if you pay peanuts you get monkeys!".I wS at Brands Hatch when Pat won everything and Barry nearly high-sided coming onto bottom bend.Its all water under the bridge now but I think he could have been a world champion if he hadn't had crashed in the TT

Met him one time behind the cameras.... and thankfully not again. Some of the " great blokes " arent sometimes. Having said that I did meet Sheene and he was just the same as on camera, witty fun to listen to and had time to speak to anyone, no airs and graces just down to earth working class

I respect your opinion and can only speak as I find - over the years he’s always been ok with me. Shame your experience isn’t the same.
