    Henry Cole knows how to surround himself with talented people. Sam, Guy and Alan! Wow what a lineup!

      Yes Henry does know who he wants with him but he is the film maker, it's his name on the tin and his skill is making it all work, yes he likes to act the joker most of the time but he is a serious rider, maybe not a good spannerman but then nor was Mike Hailwood ( he admitted it) without the Motorbike show we would have no biker t.v, .......Guy, Sam and Alan wouldn't be there if they didn't want to be, they've known him a long time and they all have a mutual respect.

      How means that you're in the minority that aren't enraptured by Henry l would say, Henry knows what he's doing and he does it well, you have to respect the fact he is clever enough to surround himself with blokes like Guy, Alan & Sam.

    I enjoyed that Skid, shows you in a different light from when you are on Henry's show. I too love the little Hondas had a benly just like yours but it wobbled all over the place, there was nothing wrong with it but when I sold it the new owner took the fairing off and that cured it apparently. The cb125t was a real screamer 85 mph ! Keep up the good work.

    • @englishsteve1465
      @englishsteve1465 2 года назад

      Those little Honda's like the CB and CG 125's are still being copied by the Chinese manufacturers etc, it's a bulletproof little thing for sure. I had the RS 250 and I'd love another one today, that was quick, light and it handled like a house fly. Yeah, that one makes the list of "the ones I wish I'd kept" that I think all bikers have.

  • @paulcowell7588

    Wifey had a CB125 twin back in the nineties as first bike (and love) and I had a CD185 Benly as a hack, rekindling a lost love CD175 in the eighties ❤️ Gave the Benly to my Dad……. loved it….. something about that family of soft twins that bewitched…… no frenzy, no revs….. but solid progress and effortless.
