All The Gear & No Idea.
Watched it last week for the first time quite good and funny with the mad Irishman Mr. Green

Here, more or less is the premise:

Take one unfortunate, povvy, picked on, schmuck with a clapped out, death trap of a bike and...give them both a makeover...In the US Mr. Green

So they take the aforementioned schmuck (with his bike in a crate) to the states and transform the both into something special. Now what they did last week was brilliant. The Irish fella was a good bloke and watching these transvestite hairdressers 'do him up' was as funny as it gets mid-week. what they did to his bike was just 'WoW'.
Tonights program has some young student looking kid but I couldn't make out what sort of death trap he rode.
Anyway, Watch it.

I think you're right it was an RS50.
As far as makeover shows go it is worth watching.
They did a nice job on the irishman's bike, looked like they put some care into it.... unlike on Pimp my Ride where they simply glue DVD players and playstations all over the car.

Thanks for the reminder - although I would have almost certainly come accross it whilst flicking through the hundreds of channels of shite on Sky.

I ended up watching 'How it's Made' last night on one of the docu channels. last night programme was on envelopes! Confused

Actually I might get out the house tonight.

My house came with a free satelite dish and two years later, (last week in fact) I bought a £30 satelite decoder and have tuned in some of the channels it picks up.

There are loadsa dn wading thru them is a bit of a chore as most are just shopping channels, but men and motors is on there so i will watch it !

RS 125

So far they've just given the kid a makeover (spikey hair, yet he is going to wear a helmet Rolling Eyes

)
Just the bike would have done, we'll see how it goes.

Ok so its an RS125 with a new paint job, a stereo and a dvd player in the tank. I wonder how long it will take till the chavs mash that screen in, 15 mins?

why the hell would you want a dvd player in you tank?!?!?! so you can watch it while you go along? fair enough it a car as when it stoped you can watch it but in a bike?!?!? how about a full JL exhaist system and maybe 180cc bore kit? new reeds? all better than a DVD player and stereo, RS's are loud when at high revs so thats pointless aswell!

Totally pointless. Just how much "street cred" can you actually get on a "one hundred and twenty five"

I don't think a single insurance company would insure it now and if they did the cost would be huge. Couldn't help but notice after the makeover the L plate was not showing.

I watched this last night. Oh dear.
I've seen some hopeless kids in my time but he was something else. I can only presume him and his mates are serious glue sniffers or thier mum's drank heavily whilst pregnant.
