Nearly a year-and-a-half after taping completed, Cafe Racer finally aired John's episode -- as the premier of the new season!
For those who may not have heard, in 2012 John assisted his buddy Patrick Bell in retrofitting a T3 Moto Guzzi into a “café racer,” a style of motorcycle with its roots in 1960s British rockers and the motorcycle series filmed them. Last week we joined about 100 people at a restaurant in Alameda to watch the premier. And by "watch," I do mean "watch." It was nearly impossible to keep a room of 100 people quite enough to hear the dozen or so TVs, so we had go to John's sister's house later in the week (we don't have cable TV) to see what he actually said! It was lots of fun (though they did get a bit overshadowed by the other story line, which included a Hollywood actress and an appearance by Jay Leno). You may be able to catch re-runs on the Velocity channel. Bravo, John!
And much thanks to Loretta for the photos!
