I saw that speed week series.  It was very good.

They built or modified absolutely everthing themselve except the supercharger.  And what do you think let them down - you guessed it - the supercharger - Gutted!

Great program.

Rev. Light

Not quite true, a piece he turned up sheared and went into the supercharger, either way for the effort he gone to on the build it was heart breaking.
Just was edited in a way to make it more so!!

Still it was a great bike program.
The TT legends on ITV4 is a good programme on at the minute, worth recording for when the wife's out

To my American friends, Do any of you watch American chopper and do you believe it is fair dinkum, to me it has gone from interesting to down right insulting load of crap. I am interested to hear your opinions just out of interest. Ken. :) :)

I am ashamed to admit that I've watched the show a couple of times.  Those guys are only about a half hour from me, and I have seen some of their bikes in person around here.  I am not overly impressed.  While the workmanship is ok, I think that there a number of instances where they sacrifice safety for looks.  And I could never get into adult guys acting like a bunch of drama-queens.

Try out TT Legends for an interesting look behind the scenes for endurance racing including the TT. Those guys are really amazing, the speeds they race through villages/towns has to be seen to be believed!

No, that's the day that I returned  the cable converter box to my cable provider, I have a 13 year old analog TV, that required the converter, they were charging me $10 a month for the box, on top of the cable charge .
