Default Cable Show...Something like America Rider

A co-worker was telling me about a show he saw on a cable channel, probably like History Channel or such. The show he thought was called American Rider and it featured a guy who rode accross country on his HD to various famous spots like Gettysburgh and the like and would give his version of a history lesson. He (co-worker) said it was very interesting and recommended I watch it although he couldn't remember exactly what channel. I did a search on both the forums as well as Google but came up empty. Anybody heard of it?

I think I saw that show, the one I saw they were riding combine tractors in a massive cornfield. They also ate lamb fries which was hilarious.

I just checked out the "Hairy Bikers" website and that doesn't look anything like what he described. I'll have to check back with him. But maybe. I'll see if he recognizes them.
Thanks.

I just watched the show, it is called American Ride and I found it on cable on the BYU channel. The host is Stan Ellsworth and he rides a Softail Deluxe around the country doing shows on American History. It was entertaining, I have set it to record the series.

Well I just did a search on my cable box. It is called American Ride on my station and it is on Monday nights on the BYU channel. I did not know we even had a channel called BYU. I set a reminder for tomorrow.
