RE: Harley and the Davidson's mini series on Discovery
Aside from what seemed like a continuous one minute of content followed by five minutes of advertising, I enjoyed episode 3 almost as much as two.
Watching it as fiction turned the trick for me, and not considering it as such from the start was probably my mistake.
Looking back on it now, expecting historical accuracy seems a stretch, expecting a decades old history to be thoroughly covered in six hours as much of a stretch if not more, and just letting go and enjoying it turned out to be a much better option.
I enjoyed most of the story line, and imo, the production was quite excellent.
Great scenes, sets, backgrounds, props and machinery.
Can you imagine the gargantuan task of scouting locations, gathering up equipment, actors etc. and so on?
The outlaw racing scenes out in the grass tracks were my faves, though there weren't many crashes Sad
So, considering many of us know too much about our sport to take this effort as a piece of historic journalism (nor should we), I still enjoyed it as a relatively quality piece of entertainment. I can't think of anything else on the tube that was on at the same time that I would have rather watched Wink

Harley and the Davidson's mini series on Discovery
My wife and I recorded it to zip through commercials. The only way I can watch TV. We both enjoyed it. The oil leaks reminded me of my 94 FXR. When we were young kids and you heard a Harley coming everyone looked in awe and they were few and far between.Now they are like belly buttons.
