This show is for techies in general, not just motorcycle fans. The process
of building the bike is engrossing, with many parallels to the bicycle
world.
Hopefully Armstrong won't wipe out like Museeuw did...

I'm kinda sketchy on this, but IIRC Museeuw had two incidents on his HD: one
was relatively minor, the other was where he was hit by a car and almost
lost his leg.

What was Museeuw riding when he crashed? It's pretty hard to crash on a
chopper since they're basically cruisers and aren't really meant to be
ridden hard especially around curves.

He almost lost his leg due to gangrene after the 1998 Paris-Roubaix ... He
crashed in the Arenberg, and broke his knee, and the doctors didn't clean
the wound well. Infection set in, and if it got much worse, the leg would
have come off.

He crashed his motorcycle late in the 2000 season, suffering head injuries
and ending up in a coma for a few days.

I appreciatively stand corrected.

Thanks.

there was more too, afaict-
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- Belgian cycling star
Johan Museeuw will remain in an intensive care unit
for at least the next few days after a motorcycle
accident shattered a leg and a collarbone and ended
his Olympic chances.

Museeuw was injured Sunday. A buildup of liquid
under his skull has forced doctors to keep him
under constant observation.

"sentinent" ...please enlighten me as to what that means..

I was never a Lance Armstrong groupie, but watching the guys in that show
fabricate parts and put together those choppers is fascinating. I don't
give a damn if the chopper has been built. It's the process of building
that I care about.
