He's going to get sponsorship to ride on an old-fashioned motorbike from Leicester to the furthest north tip of the UK, John O'Groats. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester's Katharine Sutton went along to Ben's first lesson to learn to ride a motorbike - watch the video here...
Help playing audio/video Ben's never ridden a motorbike before, and he says he found getting on the bike for the first time a bit daunting:
"I felt so nervous the first time I got onto the bike because it seemed heavy and I've ridden a push bike loads of times but it just seemed so unwieldy and I didn't dare have the bike move at all left or right because I thought I was going to fall off!" But after some top tips from Shires Motorcycle Training instructor Gareth Taylor and a couple of trips around the car park, Ben was looking like he could give Dennis Hopper a run for his money!
