  • Phillip McCallen returns for part two of his TT Podcast episode with Chris Pritchard and Lee Johnston.
    Phillip talks us through his most intense races, how he became obsessed with winning five TTs in a day, how injury never got in the way of riding; and how his intense persona once meant he nearly ripped the bars off his bike.
    NEXT EPISODE - OUT NOW, featuring former rider and travelling marshall, Jonny Heginbotham

    That was absolutely brilliant, no ego, no bullshite, just Phil at the top of his game. Loved watching his utter commitment on 2 wheels. A top cracking bloke, calmly telling it how it was. A legend.

      Apart from the steering being bent through 30 degrees, that bit sounds like bs

    This was just the best. N.I accent is my favourite. I could listen to Phillip all day long. A real seanchai. And with Lee's colouring the scenes for us, it was just fantastic. Would love part II. Great work Chris.

    Phillip is such a nice guy. He was always one of my favourite racers growing up with his riding style and great attitude. I was thrilled to meet him and get a photo on the Isle of Man last year he was genuinely happy to chat and have a picture taken.……btw last year was my 23rd year visiting. Roll on 24 👍

    I was so lucky to see Phillip throughout his career. One of my favourite riders. Such a pleasure to hear this interview and so good that he's one of the greats who got to walk away. Please have him on again some time, there's loads more to hear I'm sure.

    Total hero. Always wondered what happened to the foxeye fireblade he built with unobtainable (to normal people) RC45 front and rear ends. It featured in Performance Bikes magazine and he'd engineered and dialled it in to perfection. That bike is ingrained in my brain, hope he kept it. Lee, try and get a tour video of Phil's collection on your channel? Let professor McCallen just talk about every bike as technically as he does. Pure gold that man.

    Phillip & Joey are a big part of me saving up to buy a RC30 in 99 (it costed 3 times a GXR / ZXRR as new in DK on the road)... the TT inheritance formed my relation with Honda, unfortunately- for Honda, I never overcome this time period, the garage is still full RC30’ ... not riding anymore. Phillips story of riding the 250 was so great - what a story teller - I hope you will make a follow up as this will become one of my favorite podcast around 90’ road racing - thanks for a great 50 min ..

    I remember watching the tt most years in the 90s and 2000 s .. when ever you saw Phil macallen around the tt his eyes were out on stalks .. especially when he would go through rencullen ,over the jump .at the time you could sit on outside of corner then ..you could here him coming from a few miles back .he would come through crossed up .like no other. his eyes were so focused defiantly 1000 per cent commitment .some boy 😜

      Bit of a problem there - in case you haven't noticed they interview the person face to face, so unless they can rig up a VT link to the great circuit in the sky they're going to have a bit of a problem pinning DJ down.
