As an aside - I have been watching some shows done by Henry Cole in the UK. He's eccentric but the shows are light and easy to watch.

Was surprised quite how many of these "Shed Built" fashion bikes there are about and the number of "Larger sized sheds" there are building them. I am by nature a bit isolated from the world - and thus my surprise is no real surprise. What was a real surprise was the number of pretty girls. Biker chicks were NOT like that back up at the "Dorset Soldier" M/C club.

I think we miss the point. This type of bike is what attracts youngsters - BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND FAIRLY CHEAP. They may not master mechanics - but then - how many of us on here are phased by electronics or "Rooting Android" . And if the marques cannot get new riders - their future is bleak as hell.

And (schhh - don't tell im) one of the guys on film was a dead ringer for @laraza - except he was younger

Hi Chris, Henry Cole has recently had a little mini series of 3 episodes shown on Sky. They were the history of 3 marques, Triumph, Norton, and Ducati. Even with all his over zealous commentary, a very informative series. Enjoy!

I know mate - I've got them downloaded. It's what started me looking at the earlier shows. I'd seen some of the "Shed and Buried" stuff at mum's too.

I can't bring myself to watch anything with Henry Cole in it, can't stand the bloke.

Met him a few times as my ex wife went to college with him in Winchester and they remained friends, found him to be as fake as the boobs he used to direct for the Playboy channel.

Soooo Mr. Cole has a few hidden talents from the past?? Now at this level of gossip, you do have to tell all!
