World's Greatest Motorcycle Rides Series 9

1  Riding Scotland

After going to the other side of the planet for his last adventure on two wheels, Henry Cole chooses something closer to home this time out as he motorbikes the length of the UK. Henry's chosen dream machine for home tarmac is a Norton 961 Café Racer. Setting out from the most northerly tip of the UK, John O'Groats, Henry plots a meandering route southwards in an attempt to experience the best roads on offer. The first part of the ride takes in the history, the landscapes and probably the rain of Scotland. He meets the odd Laird, a wealth of hostelries, revels in the quietest roads in the UK and samples the locals in all their glory!

2  Riding England

Meeting up with some old friends and fellow motorbike fiends along the way, Henry has the chance to visit some of the most scenic parts of the UK with stop offs in The Lake District, The Pennines and The Cotswolds. Finishing his ride at Land's End in Cornwall allows Henry the chance to refresh himself with some scones and ice cream. Will we see the carefree Henry Cole of his dream ride in traffic-free New Zealand, or will it be more of a return to good old irascible Henry after miles on the crowded roads of the UK? Either way, Henry's never been one to hide his true feelings.
