    "Cafe Racer" TV show.

    For those of you who are, like myself, a bit long in the tooth, or longer, check this out.

    Even for some of you younguns, it might be entertaining to learn where your high falutin sport bike grew from.

    So far, only the first episode has aired. Seems like a general overview of the "cafe racer" origins. Pretty cool!

    It was a good show -- definitely made me want to go for a ride on my Triumph. Hope to see additional episodes on the air soon.

    Yep, back in '63 I had a '61 Triumph Tiger Cub and was always dreaming
    about moving up to a Dunstall-Triumph or Dunstall-Norton.

    I don't get the HD channel so I'll have to get the DVD. But I did check out
    the links and You-tube trailers.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Yeah, that Pompadour segment was miserable and made me turn it off.

    Seriously... motorcycles are some of the most fun things on earth, how hard is it to make a good show about them?

    That Ducati on the 9:30 show was pretty sick. That guy wasn't funny though.....

    I'm still waiting for the motorcycle equivalent of Top Gear. And the UK Top Gear, not the US crap.

    The U.S. Top Gear is crap. Cafe Racer has a few cool segments, like that British guy that builds bikes in his barn.
