Roads around Emmerdale have become a bit more interesting for one of the main characters in YTV's long-running soap.

The latest love offering from Lady Tara to her chauffeur Biff gave him the chance to swap the four wheels of the limousine for the two wheels of a brand new, high performance motor-cycle. And where better for Lady Tara to turn for such a bike than Colin Appleyard Sport and Pleasure Motorcycles.

Colin's showroom has been supplying equipment including quad bikes and trailers to the Emmerdale production team for many years, as well as maintaining and servicing the soap's farming equipment.

Manager Robin Appleyard says: " The producers asked us to provide a number of different bikes and three riders for the crucial scene in which Biff confesses his desire for a bike."
