Twist The Throttle is a show that I have been watching on the HD Theater channel. Its is an hour long show that reviews the history of a motorcycle company per show,shows the production facility, and reviews important models. I hope this is not a repost just thought I would pass what I think is an interesting show along.

I do not want to start a debate on how a bike should be broken in. But it is interesting when all the companies roll the bike off the production line on tho the dyno or rolling road to test they seem to hammer the engine.

Disclaimer: I broke mine in the easy way.

I've seen most of their shows. I keep waiting for them to do Triumph, but they don't even mention Triumph on their website.

Also, The narators voice is REALY BORING. I've fallen asleep several times while watching.

Yep Nathan! I hears ya ol' buddy, though NOT about this particular program which Kendall is talkin' about here, 'cause this is the first I've heard of it(and BTW Kendall, thanks for the info here...I'll look for this), BUT because I have YET to be able to stay awake through an ENTIRE half-hour while listening to that Hoser's voice doin' the narration on that Canadian series "How It's Made"!!!! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

(I mean, no offense to our Neighbors-to-the-North here, BUT SURELY there HAS to be some Canadian dude up there they could find with a voice "a little" more like "Modern Marvels"'s Max Raphael who can make EVEN an HOUR-LENGTH show about SALT sound interesting, HUH...err....EH?!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thanks for the heads up! Through the power of the "internets," I programmed my DVR on-line through the DirectTv site to record each episode.
