[edit] Information

Henry Cole returns with the first of two specials of the Motorbike Show.

[edit] Brough Superior

He rides a rare and desirable bike - the Brough Superior. He goes behind the scenes at a British Superbike race to check out the legendary Chris 'The Stalker' Walker. Henry gets his hands dirty reuniting with bike restorer Pete Thorne as he works on a 1981 Yamaha XT500 trail bike. And we hear how Norton are making a return to TT.

[edit] Isle of Man TT

In the second of a two-part special Henry Cole is at the Isle of Man TT where the legendary Norton are attempting to make a return after 20 years. They last tried in 2009 but failed to qualify. We return to the workshop of bike restorer Pete Thorne to see how the 1981 Yamaha is coming along. And whatever happened to those legendary Californian style choppers? And with the numbers of people taking a motorcycle test plummeting, Henry persuades restorer Pete and Chris 'The Stalker' Walker to take the new Compulsory Basic Training test.
