SOME of the coolest motorcycles in history are on air in Discovery Turbo’s new series, Cafe Racer, every Thursday at 10 p.m. The series explores the history, development and the culture surrounding the cafe racer, a motorcycle directly responsible for today's superbikes. On the racing scene, a caf`E9 racer is both a type of motorcycle, as well as a type of motorcyclist, who appreciates speed and good handling over comfort. In Cafe Racer, former Superbike and Supersport champions Ben and Eric Bostrom challenge a new motorcycle builder in every episode. The challenger must design, engineer and create their very own dream on wheels from an older frame in the retro-style of classic caf`E9 racers. Once completed, the legendary Bostroms give the custom bike a complete shakedown and test to see if it lives up to their impeccable standards. Cafe Racer visits visionary motorcycle builders in the U.S. and England as they search for the perfect combination of style and speed. The series takes viewers to Mods and Rockers rallies and to London’s legendary Ace Cafe. Celebrity cafe racers, including musician Billy Joel and actor Jason Lee, share their passion for fast stripped-down motorcycles. — TNS Golden girl Her light green eyes,
