Today’s guest is Harry Payne, a racer with speed in his veins.

Coming from a true racing family, Harry moved to the Isle of Man in 2016 to chase his dream on the legendary Mountain Course.

He started as a sidecar passenger, teaming up with icons like Dave Molyneux, before making the switch to the driver’s seat—a move that proved to be a game-changer.

In this episode we talk bikes, snooker and cats - not necessarily in that order.

Our Journey to a Dream guest is true motorsport maestro Darryl Hill.

Darryl wears many hats in the world of motorsport – he’s the Clerk of the Course for the Andreas Racing Association, a Deputy Sector Marshal on the Mountain Course for the TT and MGP and a key figure in UK motorcycle racing with clubs like Wirral 100.

Impressively, he became one of the youngest Deputy Sector Marshals at just 18, having started marshaling at 16.

But Darryl isn’t just about bikes and flags – he’s also one of the best snooker players the Isle of Man has ever seen, recently nominated alongside Dollin Mercer for the Sports Team of the Year award at the IOM Sports Awards.

Oh, and did we mention he manages the Mann Cat Sanctuary? Talk about multitasking!

Welcome to Journey to a Dream, brought to you by Kawasaki Insurance.

In this episode, we’re thrilled to introduce Paul “Moz” Owen— and we uncover the story behind that nickname!

With nearly three decades of racing under his belt, Paul has a wealth of stories to share.

Motorbike racing runs deep in Paul’s family, a passion passed down from his father.

The photo says it all: three generations of Owens united by their love for the sport—Paul on the right, his son Thomas in the centre, and his dad Gareth on the left.

While we don't talk much about Paul’s impressive racing career and numerous podium finishes, he gives us an honest look at the highs and lows of dedicating your life to a sport that while exhilarating, can sometimes be pretty brutal.
