yeah all over it - always enjoyed that style since I was a kid, (I'm almost 52 now). I have a deep appreciation for the bare bones cafe style and all the 'folklore' that goes with it. My passion is for Harley Davidson, but my love is for all motorcycles.
The large displacement Brit bikes in the late '50's and early 60's were a force to be reckoned with - overall performance, most were lighter and way better handling than any of their comtemporaries. One of the main reasons that Harley designed and produced the Sportster was to be competitive with that emerging 'sport bike; market. Hope the show stays true to what is important and does not become like a "reality" show like OCC and monster 'garbage'. Looks promising

I tried searching my DirecTV DVR for the show and it came up with nothing...
What's it officially called? Channel? |

I'm recording the season. I've loved cafe bikes since I was 14. I'm currently giving a little cafe style to my Suzuki GT380 and Yamaha Seca 550. I'd love a Thruxton, but I'm content.

Neat show, glad to see it's back. The guy tearing up the cb750 seems a little over the top but I'm curious to see how the bike turns out. Every time I see this show I look on ebay for old bikes to work on. Like I need more on my plate.

Sweet. The mods vs Rockers bike show is this saturday here in Pittsburgh--at last years' show I took home "Best Japanese" trophy--looking forward to seeing some nice bikes and (hopefully) repeating.

Great topic, but they need a real editor on that show. Watching it is like watching footage put together in a blender. Plus, all HD Theater shows are about 50/50 show and cross-promotion of other HD Theater shows. Meaning best watched via DVR.
