I wish James and Jack were back together commentating on BSB again. Good times

[@SBKPete]

I’m from Huddersfield and I’ve been lucky enough to speak to JW a couple of times. He’s an absolute gentleman. He spoke to me, like he’d known me for years. He’s very humble

[@waynephillip5621]

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a bikes and banter nights . And I can honestly say it was one of the best things I've done . A true gent and is exactly what you see is what you get . Keep doing what you're doing and thanks 👍

[@ducatimale]

Nice short interview. Whitham always comes across as a super grounded good bloke. Wouldn't want to try and sell him something though...

[@ianphillips973]

the two nicest and most honest James's

[@MatNewtonTrio]

One of my heroes growing up. A real talent and an inspiration. He seems genuinely down to earth and very humble. Then I find out you’re a Billy Joel fan. ❤️

[@peterflynn9123]

My two favourite riders chatting. Brilliant.

[@jamiejmasters4818]

What a good guy, could listen to him all day.

[@scottbroad3609]

What a great guy.

[@petechadwick6261]

That little dog is stealing the show. Awesome, love it, keeping it real! LOL

[@DonkySam]

Absolute gentleman, down to earth. Had the pleasure of going to one of his talk nights with Lee Johnston, Spoke to him at Brands Hatch it was like he’d known me for years.

[@nickrider5220]

Very enjoyable video and interview - love Whit, he's a great guy 👍

[@pedro_mg]

legends

[@hillbillyacoustics6547]

Just love JW, a proper honest and down to earth guy, imho if he had the factory deals of others including Carl then I think the history books would look a lot different.

[@neilorme1637]

Loved Jamie Whitham back in the day and his fast orange Yamaha is weirdly possibly my favourite race bike scheme ever. Loved Foggy too but Whitham more and would have loved to see him get the same level of opportunities and the success that may have come with it.

[@Pitbull53war]

That R6 is a beautiful piece of furniture 😍

[@kmac5849]

Bloody hell double world champ riding in that weather 👏🏻nice Christmas bike related watch 2 good guys

[@johndavy8801]

Wow,what a Christmas treat. Fab to see & hear two Great British Superbike Hero’s.

[@tc5223]

Great coffee and chat nice to c a tour of his house and garage

[@TR5T]

Scotland and Ireland tours started that way. It's fine soft day said an Irish shop keeper.

[@sc2320]

nice 💯💪🏻

[@AutoBeta2T]

A great interview - thank you.

[@naturehawk9859]

I remember specifically doing a few of Whit`s track days at Oulton back in the late 90`s...I`d gone out in the fast group with a couple of mates, we were getting passed by plenty of other much faster riders...then every now & again I`d see a Marshall in a high viz whizzing past even the fastest riders in the group & just marvelling at them...then all of a sudden, Jamie came on track & just left the Marshalls for dust...so bloody impressive...

[@clydecardy7410]

Great interview - a real gent and he doesn't have to keep swearing every other word like some "celebrities".

[@johnbellamy6449]

enjoyable watch .

[@marcelopires1966]

Parabéns a família Fim ! ÓTIMO Vídeo .

[@user-jm2hv7wn2t]

Jamie whitham what a legend been through it all and still the same likeable person the same goes for James toesland such a nice guy met him at Donnington Park at the MotoGP watched him with his band topman😂😂😂

[@davidburne9477]

15:30 about the level of technical support required these days. I still think about my lifetime favourite rider, Jarno Saarinen, and the fact that in 1971 he almost beat the factory riders on two-strokes he fettled himself with his wife as his crew (3rd in 250 series and second to Ago in 350s) try doing that now.

[@Bigyin600]

Nice to hear a james whitham interview as always honest, matter of fact and tells it like he sees it ............. fim moto need to sack the subtitle writer though as some of the guesses at what was being said were appalling and that was even when Toseland was speaking

[@bcm0022009]

Lol the thumbnail totally looks like a young Harry Enfield!😝🤣👍

[@xpersix9222]

Got a video tape back in the day James on a rgv 250 against foggy on a rvf400 supersport 400 Oulton park when bbc use to cover bikes

[@fallingdownalot]

Who’s doing the subtitles ? Have a word with yourself.

[@mark4lev]

I think people outside the uk will struggle to understand him. Even now it can be hard to catch every word .

[@garethevans4557]

I know its up t’north but do we need subtitles? especially as they don’t match whats being said 🤦🏻‍♂️ not even caught in the edit before being put out?

[@JH-AFC1886]

Mm hhm count is up there…

[@will.134]

shes not got a scooooby

[@backwheelbob46rr]

Why the subtitles? James says nial subtitles say tarran? 4 minutes in im out, absolutely love whitham but this is bollox and unnecessary,. Post it without the bollox and more will watch it, he's from Yorkshire not Mumbai

[@ClassicTrialsChannel]

Easily upset I see

[@DanArnets1492]

Oh, it's the annoying BSB voice guy 😜 PS: really classy to have 2 fullsize motorbikes in the dining room

[@simonsayers8329]

Opinions vary. I think you are a male hen!

[@f3aok]

Whitham annoying . He's one of the best commentators out there imo
