So I got stuck watching Douche Canoes John & Kate + they're cute kids last night and after puting up with that crap for 2 hours, my little lady throws the remote at me(literally) and HD Theater pops up........"Twist the Throttle: Ducati" What an awesome show about the history, the company and the manufacturing in Bologna. I thought they were smaller than they actually are. 1000+ employees and they put out 35k bikes a year. Did you know the US was responsible for what Ducati became today??? I'm hoping they do more companies. (Message edited by Buellinachinashop on August 04, 2009) |

IIRC they did Honda last week (didn't see it). Sure would like to see something like that on Buell. |

They do Ducati, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, MV Agusta, Bimota, Yamaha and Aplinstars. I think that's it. Bimota and Alpinstars share an episode. Good program - wish there were some other brands in there (like Buell)... |

Pooi. Here's an article from the Kneeslider about the show: http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2008/12/17/twist -the-throttle-moves-to-discovery-hd-theater/ Maybe some Buell episode request e-mails would be in order? |

I have all of TTT episodes on my HD DVR. I have seen each episode at least 3 times and never get tired of watching them. From start to finish, I am totally immersed and feel a part of each brand. Very cool show. I do wish they would do a Buell piece as well. |

I hope they come out with this series on BluRay. I love seeing the history of motorcycle mfgs. Buell would be a great fit for this. One thing that made me laugh watching the Duc episode is when they said "Ducati is the David going against the Golliaths of the motorcycle world." |
