Discovery Turbo is apparently a UK channel offered as part of the Discovery networks. They've recently begun offering video from programs shown on the channel through their website, turbo.discovery.com. Twist the Throttle is an online show offered by the channel dedicated to motorcycles and motorcycling. The website has video from the program that cover tours through the plants and museums of each of the Big 4, as well as BMW, Bimota, Ducati, MV Agusta, and Alpinestars, along with some behind-the-scenes stuff.

The hosts aren't the world's greatest riders and their on-screen dialogue is a bit hokey, but luckily there's not much of that to deal with.

How great would it be to work at the MV Agusta plant, testing each bike before it leaves the factory? There's a guy with the same job at BMW, Yamaha, and the other plants as well. Not a bad way to make a living.

Here's a link to the site, you can pick the videos you want to watch from a menu at the right.

Twist the Throttle on Discovery Turbo

edit: just realized that maybe this should go in the pictures and videos section, but maybe it could engender a bit of talk about the show itself, who knows

Thanks for the link I will scour the TV menu's for the show now! I hadn't seen it before.

Edit: Nope, Twisted Vixens and Twin Cheeks or the Twilight Zone but no Twist the throttle, I guess they have stopped showing it at the moment.
