Black leathers, a Harley-Davidson, the open road - and now a potential TV showcase.

Some of the 120 members of Yids on Bikes, the UK's Jewish club for motorbike enthusiasts, are set to be featured in a Sky TV series.

YoB President Loren Shefer is negotiating with Back2Back Productions for a six-part documentary about the group heading to Canada to mark Yom Hashoah on the 2,000-mile "Ride to Remember," organised by the international Jewish Motorcyclists Alliance.

"We are looking for serious riders," he said. For Mr Shefer, "it's a ride I've always wanted to do, but it's usually in the US. It takes in Holocaust museums and synagogues."
