No he’s not, yes he is, oh no he’s not. He’s behind you…..


Ooooh, no he isn't!


met him a few times, nice bloke, just needs to stop putting the word 'dichotomy' into every other sentence! Had a good chat with him about long distance biking and the woe's of managimg your diabetes at the same timel he's type 1 llike me.

As it's his production company making the program it's unlikely that he will be replaced. I can tolerate him so long as it's a bike program, some of his rides look really nice, I just wish he weren't such an arse.

His background was in film production so no surprise there.

We met my daughter &  Son-in-Law for lunch yesterterday he has a very tasty new  Ford Mustang Mach E 240 mile real world range.
His only criticism was the poor load capacity & a far too complex screen control for the heater plus some minor glitches in the software.

I'm not keen on most of his TV programs either but my BiL lent me his biograph/book about 6 months ago. It was a fascinating read with real warts & all disclosures leaving me in admiration of his ability to pull up his socks recovering from bankruptcy & heroin addiction. Motorcycling is at the core of his story in many ways.
With you there Ted - it was a fascinating read and I felt you got to see the real person.

Signed copies on their way to you Ken. I’ve also made an application to the HC fan club on your behalf.

A agree Matt out of all the Biographies I've read in the last 20 year his book "A Bikers Life" & John Stalkers stand out as great & interesting reads.

Sounds like we have more need for a Henry Cole thread than a make your own electric~tricity for your house thread.

Wondering if there'll be a HC advent calender next Christmas, we could chip in for one to delight Ken with  :)
