HD Theater special on CAFE RACERS!!!
« on: December 30, 2009, 05:58:19 AM »
I don't know if anyone here can get Discovery HD Theater on their cable TV, but last night they had a half hour documentary on the Cafe Racer culture.  It talked about the origin of cafe bikes and the crazy bastards that rode them.  It was pretty awesome.  They usually rerun shows like that at various times.  Keep your eyes open.

I saw it. Great show, too bad it wasn't longer and more focused on CB-4's. They did mention and show a CB750-4 near the beginning, what a tease.

It was the first episode in a series... Keep an eye out, there will be more. It will focus on all makes and models so you know the 750 will be there.

Watched it lastnight. Some of the riding scenes were filmed right up the road from me. Kinda cool.
