Not on everybody's TV but if you have Sky and access to the Box Sets, there is a three part series called 'Harley and the Davidsons'. It's about the beginnings of the well known company. It is free at the moment. I believe it was shown on Discovery originally. I did search MMM to see if it had already been mentioned but I didn't find anything. The DVD is supposed to be out for Christmas but you can also download the series now from Amazon for £4.99 or £6.99 in HD. JJ

"Quest" is starting a series on Thursday 15th Dec at 10pm called Philly Throttle, which I think has previously been shown on Discovery. http://www.questtv.co.uk/tv-listings/Follow the lives of vintage bike builder Adam and his mechanics as they restore motorcycles at Liberty Vintage Cycles in Philadelphia. Today it’s a 1967 Norton Atlashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdNEJAFfFLA

There's no stopping the bloke is there! Tony Reynolds, who engraved my motorcycle engine casings earlier this year, has just finished a commission for Mr Martin. A skull & crossbones, featuring a cast aluminium skull & spanners, all engraved by hand.
