Summary: Join bike legends Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove as they take on one of the most iconic and nostalgic events in motorcycling – The Pioneer Run! Starting in London and finishing by the sea in Brighton, this historic journey features only motorcycles built before 1915, and trust us – riding them is no easy task! Watch as Henry and Sam put their early 1900s machines to the test over miles of open road, facing everything from dodgy brakes to questionable spark plugs – all in true vintage style. Along the way, they share stories, mechanical challenges, and plenty of laughs, reminding us why these old bikes still have so much charm (and a mind of their own!).
