From Whitworth to the World: Ben Hardman's Vintage Motorbike Collection

It's me, Mark Stone and welcome back to Backseat Driver Podcast. Today, we're taking a trip down memory lane and returning to the 1920s. I had the pleasure of visiting Rayson Motorbike Exhausts in Whitworth, where I met with vintage motorbike expert Ben Hardman. We discussed the history and mechanics of these classic machines and heard about his passion for restoring and collecting them. Join me on this journey into the past and get an in-depth look at the world of vintage motorbikes on the Backseat Driver Podcast.
