A motorcycle enthusiast from Cheam is launching his own TV show.

Alan Rawlings launched Bike Channel as a website in 2006 after spotting a gap in the market for a motorcycle programme covering sportbikes, MX and stunt riding.

Now the Bike Channel Show will be launching on Sky Channel 203 at 7.30pm on October 10.

Suzy Taylor, herself an MX rider living in Cheam, Surrey, will be fronting the show with Luke Wilkins, an ex-Kerrang radio DJ from Epsom.

Mr Rawlings said: “We’ll be reviewing the latest bikes and gear, motorcycle events, celebrities learning to ride, and attending racing and stunt schools.

“Presenters will be set challenges and famous riders will also be joining them to make the programme informative and as interesting as possible.”
