The Speedshop

[FocusRS3]

Watched this last night by chance as i was channel hopping and thought it was brilliant.

I hadn't really seen it advertised either (maybe that's more me) but sounds like for the time being it was a one off.

Hoping it becomes a regular thing.

Anyone had any dealing with his shop?

also enjoyed it and made me think it would be good destination for a days ride from London

looked a bit like a less polished version of the Bike Shed

found myself wondering if anyone offers that Alps trip as a weekend jolly...it looked a lot of fun (id rather do it on a KTM or Husky though!)

respect to the amputee vet...couldnt have been easy

In a nice part of the world too as opposed to The Bike Shed in town.

I like that NX 650 on their website and at the start of the programme so have sent a tentative email...

And yes, well done the amputee

I enjoyed it.. It seemed pretty honest and it was actually refreshing for them to miss the deadline by a couple of days due to the neutral switch, rather than the all too frequent, 11th-hour disaster that they subsequently solve 'just' in time..

The owner has a certain 'Guy Martin' edge about him..

He really does i though the same.

Good that these ex Special Forces guys are making some worthwhile appearances on TV these days.

I'm just hoping it turns into a longer running series

A mate messaged me about it when it started.

I liked Titch, he has a good way about him but his mates aren't very easy on the eye
(I'm a bloke but they need female viewers too)

I liked the bike stuff but I knew the car was a disaster as soon as I saw it (Dad deals in Classics)

Is there the viewers for just a bike show ?

I think there would be.

Its only really Henry Cole and his mate Sam that offer anything similar currently

I have watched a few of his programmes - despite him - how on earth did he get the job ?

Old, dull, boring (and I'm in my 40's)

I tried to watch his programme on biking in old Yugoslavia - self indulgent rubbish about him - rather than riding there.

I regularly see much better on Youtube

Good to see something new/different on TV, I really enjoyed it. Makes a change from seeing 3 blokes in a car with a walky talky each laughing over some crap joke/gag..

Agreed. Really enjoyed it and hope they get a chance for a full season.
