Shed and Buried

Henry and Sam are invited to tour the workshops of the National Motorcycle Museum, where they inspect the range of historic bikes on display. During their visit they discuss the possibility of bidding on two classic machines—a 1926 Ariel and a 1927 BSA.

The episode follows Henry and Sam as they receive an invitation to tour the workshops at the National Motorcycle Museum. It’s set up as a straightforward look‑around, giving the pair a chance to see the inner workings of the museum’s restoration and display areas. During their visit the two friends wander through the space, taking in the tools, parts and the atmosphere that surrounds the museum’s collection. While they’re there, they turn their attention to two specific machines that have caught their eye – a 1926 Ariel and a 1927 BSA – and start thinking about whether to put a bid on either of them. The programme keeps the focus on the practical side of the experience, showing Henry and Sam examining the condition of the vintage bikes and discussing the potential of adding one to their own collections. Their conversation highlights the appeal of owning a piece of motorcycling history, even if the decision remains open‑ended. By the end of the segment, the audience gets a clear picture of what it’s like to be inside the museum’s workshop and to contemplate purchasing classic motorcycles such as the 1926 Ariel and the 1927 BSA, without any extra narrative beyond the pair’s genuine interest.
