I was watching the new Knight Rider i recorded on 12/31 and it had 3 1125r's and an old shovelhead in the beginning of the show. They looked totally bad a$$. Is Ford hooked up with Harley?

Only for years now. Can't remember the first year they did it, it's been at least seven that I can say for sure but Ford has been doing a HD edition F150 for a while.

I saw it too I'm wondering how they stopped in the trailer after accelerating up the ramp to get inside. In real life they probably would have be SPLAT against the front part of the trailer. I love seeing Buells on TV. K

Mythbusters did the driving into the trailer thing and it worked with no fuss.

Of the only time I watched part of that show, I missed the first few minutes.

One of the hosts of "Prototype This" on the Discovery Channel has an XB that can be seen in several episodes. I posted an inquiry on their forum and the host wrote back, " I love that thing ! "

damn that show looks horrible!

Dennis Gage, the guy with the handle bar mustache on Speed channel, did an entire show riding Uly's across Canada with his son and one other fella. i just saw that episode a couple weeks ago. i think it was called "Trippin on Two Wheels"

There were several parts from either the Tuber or XB line that were direct Ford parts (said so right on the parts).

Injectors, relays, connectors, etc.

I started a thread on the XB board about a XB9R being on a Speed Channel show 'Two Guys Garage' today.

Did you notice how the guy that climbed into the back of the truck and his bike fell, he wasn't riding the Buell he was driving some older jap bike?

Now that you mention it. Yeah. The one laying in the truck and once when they are on the road is too. Must be a budget thing, couldn't drop the 1125's. Or a moral issue.

They go from a 150 hp 1125R's to 35 hp Ninja 250's...

I know it is tv but come on, guy breaks a window with one hit but it takes 3 to take out the driver...This I why I hate TV.

Stupid 1125R's with electronics!!

I guess the production budget couldn't afford the trashing of a new 1125R.....unless that 1125R had the new transmorphing option?!

35 hp at the push of a button - brilliant!

It looks like the Ninjas were used for the falling part. If you look the bikes on their sides with the (dead?) guys lying about are 1125s again.

Guess Harley didn't want to damage pretty new Buells.

Oh, and this show had jumped the shark before it even started...

The video was on YouTube, might be pulled already. Anyway I got the whole thing HDTV quality if any of you want to watch it, but the screenshots above are in chronological order. Several guys hijack the truck, the one guy jumping off the bike to open the rear ends up hopping off the Ninja, the Ninja then drifts out of view, I assume it wrecks on its left side, then after the guy opens the rear and puts down a ramp the other 2 Buells and the hog go up and in. KITT cuts off the truck and fires an EMP which kills the trucks engine, it jackknifes and as result the wrecked ninja appears in the back of the truck and falls over. Hog takes off with the excuse that it has no electronics hence it survived the EMP, and then we see the 2 Buells taking a nap in the back.

That was the first 5 minutes of the episode, then we get a chase scene with the hog later, he gets away, then later they find the bike.

Unfortuantaly GM was to busy buying product placement in more transformers movies, but I am glad to see that each time a Mustang tried to be KITT, it failed and got canned after one season : )

(Team Knight Rider also had a Rustang)

Is that show any good? I watched the pilot last year and it was the most painful hour of television ive put myself through in a long time. The mustang was the only good part of the show. I turned it off when the Ford Edge suv's were runing neck and neck with KITT through the canyons. A GT500 deserves a much better show than anything remotely associated with Hasselhoff.

Hasselhoff hasn't been in any of the episodes, and not even a mention of him either. The first half of the series did suck, but things are picking up now and the second half is much better.
