Can anyone tell me if there are any other TV programs out there similar to A Bike Is Born? Or any documentaries worth watching along the lines of bike restoration / building..

Really cool documentary on Britten

https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/britten-backyard-visionary-1993

Synopsis wrote:
During the late 1980s, Kiwi inventor John Britten developed and built a revolutionary racing motorcycle. He pursued his dream all the way to Daytona International Speedway, where, in 1992, as an unlikely underdog, he proceeded to beat the biggest and richest manufacturers in the world. Britten: Backyard Visionary documents the maverick motorcycle designer that Guggenheim curator Ultan Guilfoyle described as "the New Zealander who stood the world of racing-motorcycle design on its head.
