Top bloke's Henry Sam skid and Alan never get tired of watching these guy's on tv they have so much fun

Gawd that bloody Commando is just plain beautiful isn't it. It brings back memories of me standing at the traffic lights as a 17 year old pauper in Queen Street Auckland in the late 60's / 70's drooling over them and listening to the idling whistle from the beautiful rocket shaped mufflers fitted to them in that era before sneaking around the corner to mount my trusty Suzuki AC50 with its stylish up swept pipe lol to buzz off home and dream of one day owning a Norton Commando . Love Henry, loved his Worlds Greatest Motorcycle Rides series on the telly. Get annoyed at various comments directed at him by people that apparently do not know many English people that have a penchant for calling a spade a spade, which for some odd reason they interpret as being a grizzling whinging pom! ... keep up the good work Henry, oh, and glad you enjoyed your little foray around New Zealand, Godzown country with roads made for motorcycles all over the place.

Just to add some balance, if it weren't for enthusiast like Henry we'd see very little motorcycle programs on the TV. Personally I think his bike collection is interesting, his tv programs are well worth a watch, he's not trying to be anyone other than himself, I find that a breath of fresh air! Keep it up Henry, there are those of us who appreciate your work. cheers tony

yeah me and my wife met him with his wife, proper nice bloke not a wanker like modern day top gear presenters !!!

I love Henry’s passion for motorcycles & it really takes me back to my youth & his mate Sam lovegrove’s mechanical knowledge is amazing

I just love this guy. First time I saw him was on TV in the early hours doing some kind of antique show, I think. But then I discovered his motorcycle shows. He seems like a mate. 😊

I like Henry and his passion for bikes, he always puts a smile on my face. Great collection shame he doesn't get to ride them.

Henry cole is the best presenter on tv,so relaxing,a true breath of fresh air and very truthful,his motorcycle programs are a joy for the whole family to watch. Thank you Henry.

Mr. Cole you have special bikes, I like that, but also the beautiful Norton. The Honda cub is super for every day, I love the cub. Go on showing your bikes👍

What a great guy.. genuine ! He`s someone who speaks to the youth in me about the real love of bikes in appreciated knowlege.

Henry is good for the motorcycle scene. he keeps motorcycles on tv.

Just love watching henry cole progs. Such an interesting and funny bloke.

❤️Henry is my favourite.. He is a design genius., seeing art in the most mundane items.. He leaves me always thinking" what on earth is he going to do with that.." like one of those paintings that looks like a house then turns into a face!! ❤️

Great bloke.if it wasn't for Henry us bikers would have absolutely no covering on t.v .I used to watch top gear when it covered bikes not watched for years hate cars no interest in them at all.keep up the good work henry

What a nice bloke, enjoyed the tv series, (hope to visit Gladstone bikes one day).... nice one Mr Cole.......

Hey Henry It was great to see you at the ace cafe mate, Your doing a great job with your passion for bikes, keep up the good work fella. ;)

Henry is so upper class. The prices he gets for stuff he flogs shows what a rich area he lives in.

18-04-18 yet again on TV banging on about a fantastic bike tour. Have you ever done one where you carry your own luggage, no back up vehicle etc< i very much doubt it. Try it, its not so Rossie as you make it out to be

LOVE the Chop! Anyone know what prog or episode it featured in?

Wish I had his money to stand there and take the piss with his miracle finds

Quite like his shows but he reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson. Both have made a career out of motoring without being able to even change a spark plug or unscrew a nut and bolt.

Was renting a house out in Spain for a few months but there was nothing on the telly other than sky news and this bloke doing the prog where he went about with his pal haggling for old tractors or bikes then doing them up and flogging them. So I have a fond disposition for him lol

I like his mate who looks like Jesus ,who does all the fuckin work!

What is the name of those glasses you have on?

Henry, just wondering why you didn't buy that that H1 on an episode of Shed. I used to know someone who had a H2 so I knew the reputation of these badass bikes!

That xt 500 is my favorite 😍 and the cub

'72 T100R and '18 KLR-650 here

I have a mate who is virtually the same as Henry looks like him , house similar and a shed load of vintage motorbikes

Read your book henry straight to the point life no bullshit fantastic.watch all your shows and with the great sam.great collection of bikes henry your a true legend respect to you regards pat

I love the slingshot, I don't know what it is but for some reason there has never been a better bike than the air cooled gixer for a streetfighter build . For me the best bit is they're never really finished, they're always a work in progress it just depends how much money you can spend.

@@sambrooks7862 I agree Sam. I had a GSXR1100K, new in 1989. It went like stink, but the (non upside down) front forks were awful) and made the bike, not much fun to ride. I've got quite broad shoulders and couldn't see anything of interest in the mirrors either and got stopped at quite a fair speed eventually, by a cop on a wheezie old Beemer. Before we'd even stopped, he raised his visor and said. "in excess of 110mph between ??? and ??? and in excess of 120mph between ??? and ??? I was doing 120mph and you were disappearing away from me" He read me the riot act, once we'd stopped and then we chatted about the bike for about 45 mins, during which he had a sit on, because he was going to buy one. His final words to me were, and I quote, "consider this to be the biggest bollocking you've ever had". I remember this day very well, because it was the first time I'd hit 10000rpm in 5th gear which was 150mph!! and I saved my job. One of the real good guys!

@@RichardASK I did some work for a guy about 15 years ago and he couldn't pay me so he gave me a really rough 89 slingshot 750k that was just chucked in his shed. I didn’t really want it, I had a gixer 1000 at the time, but I wanted some sort of payment. Anyway it sat in my garage for over a year then I saw the same model at the bmf show. It must've had thousands thrown at it, to this day it's the most stunning streetfighter I've ever seen. So I thought I'd give it a go. Off with the knackered bodywork and dented tank, gixer k2 seat unit, k2 forks and rear shock, you get the picture. Anyway I got it pretty much how I thought I wanted it and rode it for an mot, after riding the 1000 it felt like a puch maxi so I started looking for an 1157 lump to put in it, or at least a 1052? I actually found a 1200 bandit motor and I couldn't believe my luck, the guy had desperately been hunting for the apparently rare 750 "dot" motor so we did a straight swap. Anyway in went the motor, took it to X bikes in wisbech to have it set up and according to the dyno it was putting out 152hp which I thought was not only bloody impressive but a testament to the genius of Chris at X bikes. The thing was phenomenal, you could steer it with your eyeballs. The trick was not to be afraid to boss it. If I could find another I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Fantastic bikes.

@@sambrooks7862 I suppose the nearest, that I've got to a streetfighter is my current newest bike, a Yamaha MT10. I am absolutely besotted by this bike. The first thing, that got me hooked on it, was the sound of that cross plane engine. I love it and the mid range acceleration is great and so easy to obtain, in any gear. If you haven't had a go on one, borrow a demonstrator, but, the standard seat is not good, hence I've got the comfort seat. You mentioned about the Suzuki 750 and how it felt. I agree about 4 cylinder 600s and 750s, they all feel a bit lacking to me. I used to drag race an 1170cc turbo Honda CBX 40 years ago, until I realised it was a money pit, into which I was getting nearer and nearer to the edge, so I flogged it. I now have a very different collection of all types of bikes covering the last 99 years(since they were made, not me), but the MT10 still gives me a thrill, that few bikes do. It's due to that magnificent engine and the sound it makes and the feel.

Tried to watch this but couldn't manage much of it at all.

A true enthusiast with a very colorful collection of bikes.

Fantastic Guy hope to meet him one day along with Alan milliard

I think out of what I saw, I'd go for the little Honda.

That Honda needed a bit of 'wind' in the rear tyre, Henry!

I like his rat bike with the side car. It's so cool looking

Mr. Cole u should do a tour to Ladakh on a Bullet

whats not to like about henry.his wit even sounds cool.proper gent.

Love the programmes you’ve made and I love the street fighter...you selling it? Throw me a number for it.😎

There’s a lot of negative comments on here but Henry likes bikes and what’s up with that.Sounds like some people on here are just plain jealous.👍🌹🇬🇧

the granny bike is just about your skill set

i feel so lucky to know him and to have ridden the bike that he has most fun on

That's not snakeskin Henry, it's Stringray. Very exotic!

I’ve done Vietnam the whole of it north to south. I’d really like to buy a new cg125 in Pakistan and ride it to the uk.

Get yourself up to Rivington Chorley Henry great North west motorcycle scene

Hello Henry! I would like to invite you for a trip to Serra da Arrábida In Setúbal Portugal! Wonderfull view and road! Say something If interesterd! Cheers!

He was born in 1964 have got this from company records. Not sure why this is a secret

I actually like his programmes, in fact I actuallly like him. Without him there'd be zero motorbike shows on the box. What I can't stand is his inflection in his voice, the rise and fall of his speech, aarrgghh. He sounds like he's explaining stuff to a 3 year old, why ? It's more evident when he's doing a voice over "off camera", fuck me its annoying.
