"I've got enough anecdotes to fill your paper," he explains. "I was once talking to an American at the European Championships on Eurosport after doing my pull, and he said, Do you think you've won the championships?'
"I said, 'Well, there's still a few to go but you know what they say - use what you've brung and hope you've brung enough!"
It's typical of Brian's laid back and modest demeanour which belies the fact that he is one's of tractor pulling's most celebrated competitors.
Indeed, while he's a definite Lancashire lad, the sport has taken him to several exotic and not so exotic locations all around the world.
In his famous 'Desperate Dan' Mark III tractor, he travels annually to Holland, France, Germany and America as well as competing in several pulls in this country.
Now 51, he started competing in 1977 while working on a farm for a Mrs DC Loftus at Weeton. Her son Tom Loftus, he says, had built his own sledge (the heavy object the tractors must pull) at Hambleton and was one of the main instigators of tractor pulling in this area, along with himself and two of his other friends, Walter Parkinson and Howard Hewitt.
He said: "There was four or five of us there that built the first sledge and we had our first pull at Great Eccleston showground in 1977. That's where it really started.
"I started up pulling on my own in 1979 when I had a John Deer 2130 at the Loftus farm.
"After that I built a tractor with a Rolls Royce Eagle diesel engine and ran that for a year or two - a Moss House Marauder."
Brian put together the first of the Desperate Dans with a Rolls Royce Griffon 37-litre 2,200hp engine.
He then built another with a similar engine which ran on alcohol and was turbo charged.
The current Desperate Dan which was victorious at the European Championships in Great Eccleston in August was first advertised for sale as the 'Dollar Devil' in Kentucky, America.
Brian said: "We went out and bought that and drove it in the Astrodome in Houston. He also showed in Louisville, Kentucky and the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis.
"We only compete now in about four pulls in the UK - we do more abroad probably. We do four or five a year in Holland and some in France, Germany and the USA.
"We have got past the peak of tractor pulling in this country now and there's not a lot of competitions left - the numbers have dropped in England a bit.
"At its height in about 1988-90 there was about eight competitions in England and lots abroad too."
The Loftus Farm in Weeton where Brian first discovered his love of tractor pulling is also where he began welding and fabricating, starting a chain of events which would lead to him setting up his own successful business.
Born and bred in Morecambe and educated at Graves School, Lancaster, Brian left school to work on his cousin's farm as a lime spreader.
After two years he got jobs at Will Robinson's Farm, Bilsborrow, and Matshead Farm, Claughton, before moving to Weeton.
In 1979 he rented a building from Jim Gardner at Moss House Farm where he founded BWA. The firm, which is involved with the manufacture of farming machinery, farm buildings and potato and grain farming, moved to its current home at Loussana Farm 18 years ago.
The firm has customers all over the country, including throughout the Garstang and Longridge areas, Scotland and Southern Ireland.
In 1979 Brian also married his wife Kate, who sadly died from breast cancer five years ago.
He said: "For the first couple of years when I was in the building at Moss House Farm there was only me, then I took another lad on, then I moved here and the business snowballed from that really."
He now has seven full time staff, including his son Rob, 22, who has been working for his father since he was 16.
"He has been brought up around this business all his life and I think he always wanted to do this," explains Brian.
"The business was a joint venture with Kate. I started it on my own but after a few years Kate ran the office, and she did that for a long time."
The couple also have two daughters, Jane, 24, an artist at Blackpool's Pleasure Beach, and Susan, 20, currently in her second year at Sunderland University.
Brian says farming has always been in his blood, and it continues to provide him with a total break from the main fabricating side of the business.
His goals for the firm and his tractor pulling career are much the same.
He said: "We have no definite future plans for the business, just to keep going and developing it. We are very busy on the building side of things at the moment.
"As for the tractor pulling we just try to keep up with the engines, try to get that bit more power out of them and try and keep up with the opposition.
"We're hoping to keep working on Rob's mini-puller and trying to make that better as well."
Indeed, as well as following his old man into the family business, Rob also competed in his first European Championships at the Great Eccleston Showgrounds this year, coming in fifth in his class.
And the show was another triumphant outing for Brian who added a victory in the 4.5 tonne modified class to his bulging trophy cabinet, and regained the European crown for the 13th time.
"That was one of my highlights winning the European Championship at Great Eccleston, simply because it was a big competition close to home.
"There was another one in Hening, Denmark, a few years back where we won the 3.4 and 4.5 tonne classes that day. It was a good standard of competition and it was a highlight because we won both classes. That was the euro cup in 1993.
It's always nice to win but those are the two that stick out."
And the strangest place Brian has ever competed?
"That would be Finland. It's that far away it took us about two weeks to get there with the wagon. We were only a stone's throw from Russia there.
"There's always low points when the motor blows up or something but I'm still getting the buzz from it.
"There's no way we could have done it without my tractor pulling team, Karl Carter, Stan Leeming, Andy Cowley, John Eccles, Mick Hollin, Tom Beattie, Jack Hull, Hayley and Ike Parkinson, Michael Bell and Andy Richardson. They all deserve a mention."
And despite the sport's fading popularity Brian won't be retiring the famous Desperate Dan in the near future.
Asked when he plans to give up the sport, he said: "The tractor quality has increased a lot and it costs a lot more money to keep up with it now. If you were to start from scratch you would need at least £150,000.
"But I've no plans to call it a day just yet." Then he smiles and adds: "We'll see."
