Boston to Key West Video 1

Click video to see the Travel Channel’s (UK) new motorcycle travel program: World’s Greatest Motorcycle Rides, by Henry Cole as he travels from Boston to Key West Florida. He makes these rides on a Saxon motorcycle. Henry likes the looks of the semi custom bike and more important, he believes the motorcycle drives smoothly and comfortably. I guess he has not ridden a modern sport touring motorcycle.

The founder of Arai Helmets was the man who created the first motorcycle helmet in Japan to protect his own head, and as a result, launched the Japanese motorcycle helmet industry. Arai focuses on glancing off performance, accumulating small differences decade after decade, to further rider protection. You should also check out AraiAmericas.com to learn more.

This episode we’re revving up with something seriously cool—the 2025 Indian Chieftain PowerPlus Limited 112. This classic bagger’s got a championship heart, rocking the same motor that’s snagged back-to-back MotoAmerica King of the Baggers wins. You’ve seen the 108 in the Pursuit and Challenger, but now the Chieftain’s stepping up with a slick liquid-cooled V-twin, some chassis upgrades, as well as a bunch of fancy electronic rider aids. Don Williams hit the Nevada desert to put this 21st-century beast to the test.

Our second segment this week is a real treat, because Arthur Coldwells sits down with the legend himself—three-time world Grand Prix Champion Freddie Spencer. 2025 is the 40-year anniversary of his double Championship win, and he asked Freddie about that unreal season where he pulled off something that will never be repeated: winning both the 250cc and 500cc class Championships at the same time. That’s the equivalent of winning both the Moto2 and MotoGP Championships in the same year. Most people likely assume that riding both machines at the limit is similar… Wrong. Actually it takes total single-minded discipline and a completely different riding style for each one. Freddie gives us the nuances of exactly what he had to do, and how he accomplished it. So, grab a drink, settle in, and let’s hear from Freddie about how he literally made history at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing, where he beat the very best in the world—twice in the same year.
