I watched the new episode of Cafe Racer last night. Good show. I caught repeats of previous shows a couple months ago, but didn't sit through entire shows like I did last night.
The ideas that shows like this plant in my head as a CB1100 owner both excite, and terrify me at the same time. Image taking about your beloved CB then putting it back together sans a few pounds… Luckily, I can only dream of such mods. I do not possess the skills to undertake such a task. I've always wondered about when a bike builder makes a completely unique bike from a donor bike, how does one go about registering and insuring such a beast?
RE: MotoGP
I miss watching MotoGP in Japan where they had uninterrupted coverage during the race. Just Gavin and Nick for the entire race with the Japanese commentators only coming on between races. There were many days I had to wake up at 2, 3, or 4am to watch a race, but it was always worth it. Velocity Channels coverage just annoys me. So many commercials and the annoying "filler" announcer trying to splice the everything back together. Sure, most of the MotoGP races are live, but seeing Moto2 and Moto3 hours or days after the actual even has me avoiding motorcycle websites until I've watched the races myself.
I have yet to find where I can watch AMA Superbike/SuperSport racing on AT&T U-Verse. I probably have to dump more money that.
