Guys, just seen an episode of "a car is reborn" and "a bike is born"

I now have a much better idea of what you've all been on about.

Basically, he seems Ok....pleasant enough.....and at least some technical content.......

If he could just tone down the jokes a little, then I think it would be pretty good.

I look forward to more......

Oh BTW, do you UK guys get "American Chopper"?....that's pretty good too....

I watched an episode of the chopper thing at a mates house the other day. All they seemed to do was palm jobs off onto each other and argue when they weren't done. The thing they were building would never have ridden anyway, it was like a sculpture so it was a waste of time basically. If you can't use it why build it?. Just my opinion, I'm peed off with telly anyway, it's all crap at the moment.

yours, Pete.

Yes, I guess the episode I saw owed slighty more to art and drama than to engineering....

Still, despite thier best efforts some useful technical content did slip out...

Is that the show where two hells angel types build absolutely fantastic choppers and then get them voted for (after driving accross 3 states) at a show?

Proves they can be driven i thought! (One showed him driving through a Texan rain storm, and you know how everything is bigger in texas!)

Best bit is spotting the red neck imbred getting these guys autographs!!
