helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Tomorrow is the big day for the start of Cafe Racer TV. I don't know a lot about it except they will be building cafe bikes among other things. I hope it isn't too Americanized and ends up like OCC or some such show! CAFE RACER TV Link to comment
luhbo Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 In case you're of the type that wears jap jeans from 250$ upwards, then maybe. Hubert Link to comment
Guzzirider Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Not showing on Discovery listings over 'ere. I'll expect it will get here eventually. Link to comment
GuzziMoto Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I believe it is related to the magazine by the same name. I read that magazine, it is not bad. Definitely not like OCC. Link to comment

luhbo Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 .... I hope it isn't too Americanized and ends up like OCC or some such show!... I see not much difference between OCC and all I've seen so far from this ACE thingy. It's both a fake, commercially motivated from A to Z. Don't know what those Yuppies think if they see these ACE oldtimers (wannabes ?) holding their few left teeth at the camera, remembering the "Great Times". It's some strange reenactment, really. Don't get me wrong, I always like a nice old or nicely done new bike when I see one. Watch the preview again and watch how much bike and how much inking, silly grim faces, bitched-up girlies etc. they think a proper ACE related film should contain. Hopefully there will be a bit more of bikes once the broadcast has started. If you know the original of the coarse fake above then you might see what I mean, maybe. Hubert Link to comment
gstallons Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I suscribe to CafeRacer magazine and would recommend it to any of the others on this site. They have just finished a 3 part segment on tricking out a new V7 classic. By the time it was done I coluld see myself on one. Link to comment

KB Could never afford leather, jacket or trousers, had to make do with PVC and an AJS sticker. Seemed to do the job at the speeds I fell of . At 16 that 650 AJ transformed my life it was a total 'fanny magnet' .... (translation for the afflicted across the pond 'it pulled the girls') Link to comment

belfastguzzi Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Great! I better buy one!! Might as well complete the wardrobe. You've got the rest of that gear, though your shoes are a slightly bigger size. Link to comment
