Ex special forces guy customises motorbikes for a living.

Tonight he did up a basic Honda (labour free) for an ex forces guy (amputee) to ride over the Alps, then did the trip with him. Also did up a Hillman Minx estate on the way.

Gets the rare and uncoveted cynic-al seal of approval.

And there was I thinking that this was going to be a thread about Love Island.

Live die repeat on Sky Movies.

Gets my squeal of approval..

Looks good, thanks for the headsup.

Yes really enjoyed it & even got the wife to watch it rather than George Clarke on the other side. I think she liked the human element side of it. That bike trip was a huge (responsible?) challenge for the amputee – but I’m sure ‘living on the edge’ has been part of his life in the military. I also though the main guy had a bit of the ‘Guy Martin’ about him!

Cheers for the heads-up, really enjoyed that. The main guy Titch was really likeable and definitely had a bit of Guy Martin about him. That route looked amazing as well. Hopefully there will be more

Caught the last half of that, good programme and a sound bunch of guys, series linked!

Anyone catch what the route was? Looked like a fine bikepacking route…

It’s the route across the alps that Hannibal used (allegedly). Bramans in France was the starting point.

Watched it last night, not a bad show – I would watch a series of that.
