Default Re: Junk and Disorderly.

I find his style a bit corny, hackneyed and formulaic but the sad thing is he's pretty much the only mainstream support & promotion for what I consider to be real-world, conventional motorcycling. (I have minimal tolerance for weekend-warrior wannabee racers trying to use the roads as a racetrack.)

For that reason alone his continuing efforts are supported by me (albeit in a pretty neutral way). And so I'll look this one up one cold, dark rainy evening when I have little else to do easily.

I've heard both ends of the spectrum - compliments and complaints - about his off-camera demeanour and behaviour. I suspend judgement until I meet him (should it ever happen by chance).

Of course, it's probably true that I'm also a bit jealous that he seems to have been able to turn what I only have as a time-starved hobby into a lucrative career. Fair play to him for that.

Which series and episode was the SV in John?

**Edit** just realised it's not the Motorbike Show I should be looking at. Doh!
It was the episode shown earlier this week, so the latest series and episode. Series 3 episode 7.

As for the bike, is it just me or has the front end been dropped 4 foot in order to fit those bar risers?

I'm not sure. It looked like conventional bars and adapted top yoke have been used, but you don't get a proper look.
