Padgetts Racing tour - The most influential family in the motorcycle world

Padgetts Racing tour - The most influential family in the motorcycle world. In this episode of Byrne Out Shane Shakey Byrne visits what used to be the world's largest bike dealership in the world. The huge Yorkshire bike workshops and race outfit of the Padgett family in Batley. Padgett's have been synonymous with motorcycle circuit and road racing for over 6 decades now. Often building race winning machines that outgun the works contenders and helped to sculpt champion riders, Shakey Byrne wanted to meet the family and see what they keep in their showrooms (and secret store rooms!).

I absolutely love the vehicular diversity that is portrayed on this channel. Johnny you and the team have really nuanced the content to engage, influence and educated a broad market and demographic. Although I am Australian and never visited the UK my general love and appreciation for classic, rally, ev's, motorcycles and collections has been enhanced. So much so it has spawned my goal to visit the UK and explore the countryside, visit some of these publicly available sites, races, meets and personalities.
Thanks again for transitioning into an online streaming platform it is my go to source to relax, share and strengthen my passion.

Hey Shakey, I'm the apprentice tech at Padgett's (current off due to an injury) and I'm so jealous I didn't get a chance to be in when you visited. It's good to see the amazing bikes I work around everyday being shown off to the public.

[davidbirchall]

Clive is one of the loveliest and enthusiastic men is racing. All round top fella

[bsport]

The passion of family run businesses are second to none,

[infiniteshine]

Proud to be from Batley where these guys are from and the family only lived round the corner from me!!! Brilliant to see a video on them!

[markellis]

I live 15mins from Padgetts. It’s worth the trip just to have a look round. Often see Clive walking about talking to folk. How a bike shop should be.

Padgett's is just down the road from me. Great showroom with so much racing history..

[chrisb]

Been there countless times. Once rocked up and chatted to clive who showed me around the worksops and incredibly saw the engine that eventually became the yzr that bruce rode at the TT. Clive remembered every detail about my mates big brother who bought a TZ 750 motor from him in the 70’s. A special motor ow31 I believe. Clive was an amazing completely grounded man to give me what would’ve been extremely valuable spare time. I absolutely love the padgett mentality and the fantastic family business they’ve built up

[jeffdavies]

I could have listened to Clive for hours and to see further episodes with Clive...

[gpracer]

I hope Mr. Padgett is MOST proud of the 2 amazing daughters he raised, they seem like AMAZING women!
