What annoys me most about him is his insincerity, raves about stuff he's clearly too young to have ridden, some of the stuff he says is brilliant I haven't even heard of. There was one where he's riding around Dover and the South coast, stops at this museum where they have the biggest range of some old bike make I've never heard of, raves about them but to me they look bloody awful, ok if you like manually advancing the timing etc I suppose but they look uncomfortable and more trouble than they are worth. I can admire old bikes without going over the top, they are what they are, everyone in his eyes is the best thing since sliced bread.
His road tests are frankly bloody poor, never really criticises anything, just in case they don't offer him another, if it handles bad, say so, if the engines poor, say so. Bikers rely on good reviews to avoid wasting money on a bike they then find is not what it says on the tin.
In short Henry, be more honest, be more of a biker, if it's a bag of nails say so, stop the clowning about, stop grinning at the camera inanely, stop trying to be funny. The show would be miles better if Alan Millyard presented it and rode the bikes.
Glad to know the mystery of the camera shots, never even occurred to me that, not a technophobe.
