Publisher Description
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.

A blast! Bloody brilliant!
I’m a biker and I love Henry Cole’s Motorbike Show on TV and his on screen manner and wit! I thought this book might be worth a go and when I noticed it was narrated by the man himself, really looked forward to it. I was really glad I did!! Man he’s had some life of ups and downs but the way its written and narrated is like a black comedy! At times its laugh out loud funny and ridiculous and other times its really heartfelt and sincere!! The fact its also bike related is the cherry on the very delicious cake and any biker will relate to his tales and escapades on a bike….and the ones off it are just as hair raising!! Top notch Henry mate!!
Excellent !
What an eye opener I had no idea what the man had been through. I’m so glad he narrated it himself as nobody else could do it justice.
Good on Henry
A great book really well done go for it
