Definitely! The last seconds, that sound of the single thumping hard - that is a Bullet! A teal C5 is visible briefly. Obviously teal is a pretty fast colour, too  ;D
Good video, enjoyed it, thx!

Got a message from HD Theater that they will be Velocity in October.  Cafe racer was good but one second of the teal C5 was not enough. Last season they were going to cafe the bike, so where is it?

I think one of the gurus said it last episode, "If you are going to build a real cafe racer, you need an old bike". They may be "Keeping it Real" ;)

TV "keeping it real". Best oxymoron yet!  What about those new cafes they are building out of new Triumphs? RE advertises in Cafe Racer magazine. They should support each other.

Yep, got the DVR set to record the series.

Old bikes for cafe racers?  Good!

Rat bikes for cafe racers?  Meh

I record it also.. I have seen one or two REs flash by this season but not main event items on them yet.    For a second I thought the Norton chopper they had was Westies as seen here..
