Discovery Channel to Play Motorcycle History Series
Thursday, December 18th, 2008
Have you heard of Milt and Dylan Weiss? They are the brains behind the groundbreaking video series “Twist the Throttle”. The series was released early 2008 on Dicovery Turbo, Discovery Channel’s free online video system. They look at the basic history of several motorcycle manufacturers and their design inspiration. Dylan and Milt then discuss the technical design and test drive new bikes from the manufacturers.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly suggest checking it out!
To spread the motorcycle love, Discovery has decided to put the “Twist the Throttle” series over the air waves. Starting in January 2009, they will begin showing the full series on Discovery HD Theater. Even better, they will be adding new footage to the show.
Here are the manufacturers that they will be showing, and their air dates:
- Honda Motorcycles - Monday, January 5th
- Ducati Motorcycles - Monday, January 12th
- BMW Motorcycles - Monday, January 19th
- Kawasaki Motorcycles - Monday, January 26th
- Suzuki Motorcycles - Monday, February 2nd
- MV Agusta Motorcycles - Monday, February 9th
- Bimota Motorcycles/Alpinestars - Monday, February 16th
- Yamaha Motorcycles - Monday, February 23rd
I give my contratulations to Milt and Dylan, and look forward to more great content from Cry Havoc Productions! You can check out Dylan’s blog, Twisting Asphalt, here. However, I have just one question: When are you going to do a show on Triumph? They are the world’s oldest continuous-production motorcycle manufacturer…
Just my thoughts.
