A Biker's Life: Misadventures on (and off) Two Wheels

Product Information

Henry Cole has been riding for as long as I have ( I've never owned a car) so i could relate to a lot of what he says, not least what Bikers,as opposed to fairweather summer riders, get out of the experience. Henry's passion for motorbikes began at the age of eight, when he was first introduced to a 'man cave'. A Biker’s Life is the dramatic, humorous and candid memoir of Britain's busiest motorcycle show presenter. It is a manual on how to make something of your life even when it looks like the whole thing is going to be shit.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In comparison I have achieved little and haven't had the debilitating drug dependency the Henry suffered. Since then, Henry’s life can be charted through the bikes and journeys he has been on – from a stifling public-school education, via many years battling addiction, to the big-sky iconic routes Henry has ridden for over twenty series as presenter of numerous TV shows. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs.From construction to maintenance, from foundations to roof to damp-proofing in between (“nobody wants rusty nuts”), here is all the practical information you need to start your own shed odyssey, delivered in Henry’s inimitable style. With Prince Albert, he created the Great Exhibition of 1851, and continued to organise international exhibitions for the remainder of his life. I'm with you all the way in your troubles and failures but like you said, you don't learn if it doesn't go wrong. His great-uncle Redbeard's corrugated iron shed was 'stuffed to the gills with old motorbikes' which Henry helped rebuild and ride.

There's a bit of name-dropping and the last 20% kind of limps along with random stream of consciousness observations that give the impression he was done with story but the publisher wanted more. When their principal is running late, all members of Hardy School must work together to keep things running smoothly! An evocative wordless picture book that is a loving tribute to mindful living on our precious planet. my first option of Henry was what a posh twat, but after years of watching him and his biking experiences I grew to like him, now after listening to his brilliantly told story I like him even more, he may have had a privileged early life but he lived, more than most. Henry Cole’s passion for motorbikes began when, at the age of eight, he was first introduced to a ‘man cave’.I reviewed it at the book club and a couple of members said that this had changed their impression of hi,; they seemed to think he was about motorbikes and that was it but his honest account of becoming a drug addict and getting out of it absolutely changed their minds - as well as the fact that he has been involved in so many projects. When Sammy Shine crashes into the forest, he ends up in a whole new world; no longer does he live in comfort in his shoe box . By the end of his life Henry Cole was recognised as a national institution, "Old King Cole", though he was also treated with caution as a "playful monster". Anyone who enjoys shows like she'd and hurried will like this book and the insights to bike builds, speed records and people featured on the programmes. They’re the place where old things get a new lease of life, and where new things – the motor, the light bulb, the telephone – are invented.
