A Murder of couriers- very enjoyable.

The 5ltr v twin is great, I seem to remember some lunatic chopping down a spitfire engine to do something similar a few years ago.

Good find - I've seen a few of his creations in various bike mags over the years. I also hadn't appreciated he was the guy doing the home made DH bikes!techno wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 4:54 pmNice!Leerowe76 wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 11:25 pm Bit off subject but I do love the sound of Millingtons diamond motor and theres plenty on here if you fancy something different.

Markus Stitz has a new one on Youtube. Filmed last year in Argyll but with a very topical theme.

Re: Films to watch while isolating
There's a good selection here. Some quite short, some longer, some all-action, some more esoteric. Some already mentioned here no doubt:

Seconded, watched it a couple of years ago. Made me long for the time to go for a really long walk.voodoo_simon wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 2:28 pm Watched Hooks last night, well worth 2 hours of anyone’s time. I struggle to sit down to watch things as I get easily distracted but this made for an enjoyable night in with a beer and some whiskey

Not biking related. Just watched "Climbing Blind" on IPlayer. About the first blind person to lead the Original Route on The Old Man of Hoy. One of the best bits of telly I've seen in ages.

If you have prime
Ride to Extraordinary is good to watch, follows the Trans North Georgia (bikepacking) Race.
7 episodes of about 20-25 mins, so will pass plenty of time
Yes - I’m watching loads of TV at the moment

Re: Films to watch while isolating
Aye its totally bizarre. Plus having read 'Into thin air' I wouldn't go near one of those expeditions even if I could afford a second mortgage....
