Bikes on tv.

[Bustaspoke]

I don't mind Henry Cole & it's good to see bikes on the telly,but it's a repeat series from a good few years ago.
I realised it was a repeat when they dragged the Phil Read rep Honda out of a neglected & overgrown garden,good to see those Nortons & the Classic TT feature again.

Oh my wife will be pleased she hates him

The opposite here. Mrs.Skub loves him and records his programmes. I watch them hoping Sam whatisface,or Millyard will take some of the airtime away from HC and his antics. I'm often disappointed.

As Weeksy says,at least it's bikes,so I suck it up for the odd interesting feature.

Nah, he's on a 24 plate S1000XR so can't be old

I think they mix and match new and old episodes,probably to bolster content without putting the work in.

ITV4 showing the new series (series 13) on Wednesday night. First of the new series was shown two days ago.

Henry is on an XSR900 GP today... well, today in TV world.... interesting to see what he makes of it.

I've just learned how to fuel/fill a Yamaha VMax... what a bizarre system that is.

The ridge on the seat that flips forwards to unhide the filler cap?

Have you seen the filler location on Honda NC range of bikes?

It's under the pillion seat.

Correct yeah... wasn't aware of that at all.

[MrLongbeard]

Is that it, 4 episodes in a series?

Yeah seems so, i thought it was usually more too.

[MrLongbeard]

Might be down to Millyard being carted off to hospital and needing some time off to recover, cutting the series short.

Re the plugs... isn't that what an "Italian tune-up" does.

[MrLongbeard]

I don't think that'd survive an Italian tune up, it's got hand grenade written all over it.

[Skub]

Everything about that bike is a crude lash up. It's been fascinating watching Millyard progressing in his matter of fact way. This series is what motorcycle tv should be showing,instead of endless episodes of Henry Cole mugging for the camera at the expense of interesting content.

He was on the xsr gp, you're never gonna get any decent feedback off HC. He's 50 mph and all over the road.

I been looking at sidecars Nice 60s russian for under 5k.
