ITV4 9pm tonight, Henry Cole and some 400 fours.
-
Set for recording - Wendy will want to watch the US Christmas Movies on 'That's Christmas' channel, it's none negotiable from Nov to Dec. I will be tinkering in the garage if it's not sub zero. :'( :'( :'(
-
Excellent, thanks Julie👍.
Hopefully there will be no incontinent carburettors to ruin his garage floor 🫣.

Trouble is I haven't had a TV for years, maybe it will end up on Youtube? ;)

Thanks Julie, I remembered to watch it :)
Same old comment about front brake, which tells me they don't know how to properly set it etc.
I feel there's often excuse made about old brakes, then accepted as routine that they're just not capable, when most of them can be much better.
The original stopping distance was under 30ft from 30 mph, that's no slouch even now. It just shouldn't be used as excuse to have them impaired.

400/4 .🥱. Vastly overrated in my opinion. What exactly do they offer over the 550s?😁
-
Lower seat for the vertically challenged, less weight for thos that need it, bloody awkward front tyre size to make it difficult etc

"Same old comment about front brake, which tells me they don't know how to properly set it etc."
Yep, road test from back in the day showed the SAME stopping distance from 60MPH as several current Hondas. The stock front brake on my 400 is excellent now...though it was TERRIBLE when I bought it. But all I really did other than cleaning/flushing the system was to install a new hydraulic line and properly bed-in the new brake pads.

And significantly less power, torque and passenger carrying capability.

Respect for not having a TV, I had a period of about 4 years without one - happy days.
Ironically much of what I view today was made in the days when a programme had something called a script, actors with high quality producers/directors.
I can't do with this mis-named Reallity rubbish, even the News seems to have dummed down like most of our press..
-
Can you download the ITVX app and watch on there?
-
Yup.
-
Watching it now and no adverts!
-
Looking at the prices for 400/4’s today I notice they are now fetching £20k+ as a result of being featured on the show yesterday 😉. Prices for the fast and ultra rare yellow bikes (they are so rare even Henry couldn't get one on his show) are now £30k+ 🤔🫣😂
And then I woke up.......

It was disappointing that the one he chose to ride was smoking and had the headlight pointing skywards!
Not the best example.

Sorry, just my piss-take on the way presents the programme.

I totally agree, he's a clown. 🤡
-
Yes his TV persona is that of a numpty, his book paints a completely different picture.
I think he has done well to turn his life around from a drug addict from a privileged background who was headed to almost certain death to where he is today.
-
Theres a big difference in someone "acting" he clown and not knowing what they are doing.
He , effectively in my view, frames the other contributors skills to draw them out for TV consumption.
Let's face it, he's successful in getting content commissioned to broadly mainstream programming thats about people similar to us and our interests through this site.
This type of person is not a natural self promoting character, often underplayed in just how much they know, but given here a format to exhibit that without a showoff nature. Henry is part of that psychological support in his actions and contrasting behaviour.
There's no real bike or mechanical content generally programmed, this is extensively bought again by those in control of TV content. That to me is an unqualified success.
-
Just reading of his early days. He went to Eton. Is that a clown college as an ex prime minister Johnson has similar qualities and he went there too😁😁
Yes its great he gets our hobby such good coverage. His manner at times just seems so forced..... besides odd. Still watch him though.

His former Girlfriend out of the Coffee or VW Golf adverts was a tidy gal back in the day. (Paula Hamilton)

Yes Ted, you are right. It was predictive spill check again. It was a straight swap :)

My e-mails courtesy of Outlook appear to be using predictive text based on AI it's usually nothing like what I want to say - really annoying Dave, it's so easy to find my words have been replaced even more so on my stupid Google Pixel 6 phone. When the phone fails I'm going back to Samsung.
