The Biker Show is moving

The first radio show produced by bikers – presented by bikers – owned by bikers – for bikers and every other road user – launched in 2012 on Bush Radio is moving to a new time-slot.

The show will be broadcast every Monday evening from 7 to 10pm on 89.5FM and available via internet / mobile phone across the world).

The show will continue to have something for everyone – those to whom biking is a hobby; others who see it as a lifestyle and for those who believe biking is life itself!

This three-hour show will have weekly features on road safety, featured bike of the week; club of the week; general biker news; special guests and if it needs to be aired for debate, it will be dealt with on The Biker Show.

The Bush Selfie King

He is know to take any opportunity at the station to take a selfie – always be ready to put on your best pout because he is there and his name is Yuzriq Meyer, Bush Radio’s unofficial “selfie-king”.

Recently we gave Yuzriq a selfie-stick and asked him to get selfies with some of the staff and trainees who sometimes hide from pictures.
