Twist the Throttle is on all day, at the mo im watching the story of Kawasaki, very intresting and its about time they put something like this on all day 
wow did anyone know that Suzuki started out making knitting looms, thats mad, going from looms to what they are now, i’d better start knitting so i can make a bike lol
That’s because a lot of the theory will be transferrable, It’s all about mechanical systems and rotating parts. Prat and Whitney made revolvers before jet engines. Engineering is a universial language.
Yeah Yamaha started making pianos!
Yamaha was established in 1897 as a piano and reed organ manufacturer by Torakusu Yamaha as Nippon Gakki Company, Limited (日本楽器製造株式会社, Nippon Gakki Seizō Kabushiki Gaisha?) (literally Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co.) in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka prefecture, and was incorporated on October 12, 1897. The company’s origins as a musical instrument manufacturer is still reflected today in the group’s logo—a trio of interlocking tuning forks.[3]
Thanks for the heads up on the Kawasaki prog. You can watch it here:

I watched the Kawasaki one but swithed it off s it was full of badly researched ******.
They showed the timeline of the Kawasaki Superbike from Z1 to ZZR14 but nothing was mentioned of the poor old Z1000, GPz1000RX or the ZX-10
Anyone watching would think they jumped from the GPZ900 to the ZZR1100
Loada shyte!!!:hehe:

learn something new every day, thanks ninja
Started watching the MV Augusta one, tried to persuade doug to get me an F4, then lost interest when he said no!
The problem with TTT is that it was made for the American market. So is quite thin and insubstancial. And does not really seriously talk about anything outside of America. A few sops to the Isle Of Man TT on the Honda one.
I quite enjoyed it, not sure what the rest of the family thought of it but I watchted the Bimoto, honda, ducati and alpinestars ones.
He he … Kawasaki started making heavy machinery … like tractors …
