Im amazed that this thread got thru 11 posts before the "stockers" took over and started bashing the show!

please dont read this and  think i hate stock bikes, or that i think the show is good....

The Sacrilege of bastardizing a 1969 CB aside...The show is poorly organized, endlessly redundant and provides little insight into the people and events that established the basis for "cafe".

By redundant I mean telling us endlessly whats coming up, then providing no depth to the thing they told us three or four times was coming.


Produced and directed for people without the ability to change a spark plug. 


FOOKING AWFUL.

I am sure he publishes a decent rag but holy #$%* he needs to turn over the interviewing to someone else.

I have seen a lot of people make chopper's,cafe's or just bikes to ride,who did not or don't have a clue as to what works and what doesn't! Almost any body can make something look good or cool but can you drive it with out it breaking or breaking you???

Agreed. Man, I really want to like this show but so far the second season is even worse than the first.
There are so many directions they could go with this show (such as showcasing various motorcycle events around the country, profiling companies ala 'Twist The Throttle', providing gear / bike reviews, interviewing folks that actually have a clue - hell, I bet there are several on this board alone). Instead, the show appears to be produced by (and targeted towards) people with ADD. I absolutely HATE when shows waste time showing "what's coming up" after the break and then "here's what you just missed" after the commercials. I mean, c'mon - it's only a 30 minute show to begin with and now they've reduced it to about a 15 minute show after commercials and redundant content.
