there is a new series called metric revolution that is to air on ESPN 2 this season. it seems to be more-or-less a "bike build-off". either way, i noticed that one episode will feature some serious mods to a speedmaster. don't know which episode it will be, but will be sure to watch each one until it airs.

you can find more information and air times here

if you boys have any other info on this, please share.

a rerun of the first show will air Apr. 4 at 5pm (eastern).

here's another website that shows the speedmaster/chopper

MoonShine Steel Choppers

from the site: "A radically modified Triumph SpeedMaster...turbocharged, fuel-injected, friction-driven, Auto-clutch'd, jockey-shifted 11 1/2' ultra long, ultra low air-ride front custom"

5:00 Eastern U.S. I live in Louisiana which is Central Time Zone. Unfortunately, I don't get off work until 4:30. Guess I'll just have to catch the next 11 episodes.
