About this listen

I can't think of anywhere I'd less like to be than in a car. When you're driving a car, you're not taking part, you're a spectator. You're in a can; if it's cold you turn up the heating, if you're hungry you have a wine gum. You might be looking at what's going on, but you're definitely not a part of it.

A Biker's Life is the dramatic, humorous and candid memoir of one of the most recognisable names in motorcycling.

Henry Cole's passion for motorbikes began when, at the age of eight, he was first introduced to a 'man cave'. His great-uncle Redbeard's corrugated iron shed was 'stuffed to the gills with old motorbikes' which Henry helped rebuild and ride. 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 20 series as presenter of numerous TV shows.

This audiobook reminds millions of motorcyclists why their bike gives them the freedom to be exactly who they want to be: to say 'I'm doing my thing'. When you ride a motorbike you become part of a worldwide community of kindred spirits - those of us who will not be pacified by driving a car but instead live for adventure, escape and the sheer thrill of the throttle.

If this message reaches Henry himself then give yourself a huge pat on the back mate. Your story is not only humorous but honest, inspiring and and thought provoking. I now have a shed and in it I now have a bike, a Royal Enfield 350 kick start. I've taken it to bits and restored it and although I'm not allowed to ride it due to a brain op, I'm hoping to get my licence back one day. 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. If you were my neighbour I'd be in heaven. Keep going Henry, you are a breath of fresh air.
