    I went surfing the HD Channels and bumped into the HD Theater Documentary on the Team that designed and built a fascinating Bike.

    Birth of a Racer, the documentary about the development of the Motoczysz C1 motorcycle.

    The Engine is a Triple Overhead Cam.
    Intakes down through the center of the block.

    Never before seeing this program, ... My heart sank with every gremlin that plagued them from getting the bike ready to compete at Laguna Seca.

    For an event that occurred back in 2007; I got swept-up in the agony the development team suffered whenever something went wrong.

    But on top of it all, ... I wished I could have been the guy doing the test laps.
    I actually felt young, again.

    Yes Rick, that show is a couple years old. HD theater also had a new one out last year which documented Moto-Cyst's journey to IOM for the all-electric race but then a burnt motor or controller(I don't remember which) ended their race.

    There are a lot of cool shows on that channel.
