    Megafactories on Duke

    I like this series on TV.

    Tonight is the Harley V-Rod factory.

    If you ignore the factory PR wank (pushing the boundaries of performance...) it's interesting.

    Don't ha teev either! - Don't think we will get another one - once you break the "habit" (we moved our location) it seems like we got our lives back!

    TV is full of dumb shit most of the time anyway! - Don't miss Sky repeats at all!

    TV shows have never been better. Broadcast TV has never been worse.

    I was watching that megafactories over dinner as it happens - my workmate has just bought a V Rod which he really likes.

    I even saw the Coca Cola bottling plant one which was unexpectedly fascinating.

    I watched the tequila one but after the second ad break I ran naked through my neighbours garden then blacked out for the night so missed most of it.

    There's some good stuff on Duke and I watched the V-Rod episode last night.
    Looks rather tasty, as a club mate has two of them and rates them highly due to the engine.

    Wish I had a dollar for every time "Porsche" was yelled at the telly though...

    Yes - sadly lacking in the article!


    The Corona factory one was interesting - absolutely massive factory, dedicated to beer

    had to laugh at all the referances to the performance though. Just dont compare it to any Euro or jap bike of similar displacement. Oh and the super secret paint department, I mean really?

    Selling the freedom machine dream. Watching that you can see the USA culture that promotes the loyal following - soft fat fucks in middle America jobs who can throw on a T and leather vest covered in badges, tie up a do-rag (preferably with a USA flag pattern) on their balding heads and hit the road with fifty like minded lads.

    Which if you think about it is what each segment of motorcycledom do really ... just dress differently!
