    Hello... just spend two days taping for a new show called " Cafe' Racer".........very cool show about Cafe racer bikes, this subcultural lifestyle and rockabilly music. Big fun making 120 mph passes on a killer bike on film. With my wife driving my black chopped merc in the background. Then the next night they taped my gig.. pretty fun.

    Then next week Im taping a show called Auction King, bidder rivals..... where they build a story on the Psycho-Cadillac and then auction it off !!

    Promo for the show

    Thanks Walt, be sure to let us know when they're gonna air, well the Cafe Racer one, not really concerned about the Auction King one personally...

    Awesome.

    Is the Cafe Racer show a one shot deal, or will it be a series?

    Cool. I've got some Aussie and Welsh friends on the rugby club who will be excited about this...they're big cafe racer fans.

    I'm stoked about it, too. I hope they don't cheese it up with too much "reality show" drama and not enough substance.

    Oh yeah, Alan's bike is stunning.
     
  8. It'll be cool if it's truly a documentary, and there's no yelling and "drama" like the motorcycle show.
     
  9. This is something i want to see. Love ol skool style cafe bikes. Especialy the brits.

    I'm sorry, but this bike is far from old school! It's a Ducati Monster with a Kawi motor in it.

    I can appreciate the effort on the build. But that thing is straight out of 2010. Even looks like it has a Jap swingarm.
     
  11. Oh well, there's always the Jockey Journal.

    Looking forward to it. I use to goto the ACE Cafe back in London when it reopened, was too young for the first time around. Were some very nice bikes at the meets.

    I'll keep my eyes open for the show. Could be interesting!
     
  20. How about some pic's of your Merc!!!!
     
  21. Can't wait to see this show, but I hope it doesn't start a run on building cafe racers like other shows have done in the past with hobbys.
