New 'Cafe Racer' show on Discovery Channel

[rustyrobot]

Haven't tracked down anywhere to watch it online yet, and don't have discovery channel myself so no idea when it's showing here. Looks pretty cool, even if it is made in the US.

Promo video...

That looks like a cool show. I really want to build a café racer.

Nice bikes.
Pity about the morons who were riding them.

Now I see why chopper fans hate american chopper.

I downloaded this (documentary) film Cafe Society (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5333915/Cafe_Society.avi) last week. It's worth checking out.

It's funny the way that the legacy of these people has lasted and created a memorable piece of motorcycling history but if it was to happen these days they'd be decried on KB as lunatics and sullying the good name of motorcyclists. Not that I am condoning motocide, but it does put the wheeliers, coro loop racers and other assorted 'inappropriate' riders in a different light.
