    The latest series of Bike World is on Motors TV every other Thursday at 9pm (next Thursday is the next one). Sky ch 447

    Edit. Last weeks is on at 11:40 tonight, but it was a bit rubbish.
    Edit 2. It is also available on Showcase

    All the episodes plus more content are available on their own Bike World TV channel on youtube.
    If you have an internet connected TV you can watch direct there or if you have a young person in the house with a playstation 3 you can watch through that, the quality is quite good.

    i don't know what it is about Henry Cole, whethers its that he havers a lot of sh*te most of the time :eek: or that i feel anyone presenting shows like this should know a bit more about engines than i do :rolleyes: but everytime i see him i want to give him a slap:mad: i put up with him when he does "worlds greatest motorcycle rides" which is also shown on the travel channel even although he talks a lot of p*sh on that too:eek::eek::eek:

    Yep that's Ed Ace mechanic and all round sorter outer, but he's got one hell of a job on there with Jez :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    (I didnt realise he visited you in prison jez, he was no doubt there to cut that fence when it got dark !! :p lol )

    Wheeler Dealers - Mike Brewer bought the vehicles and Edd China sorted them out.

    Unfortunately all your money goes to football and f1, neither of which I do anymore, as does any other sport budget so I doubt they could make anymore cutbacks in my direction. Anyway I'll just up my monthly subscription and that'll keep me in employment
