I guess I should be happy that NASCAR TV... I mean Speed is still showing motorcycle related programing, but I really hate Superbikes.  Granted, I gave up on it after a couple episodes when all they were doing was showing stunters and guys doing burnouts and wheelies showing off for the camera in the middle of city traffic.  I'm sure this is cool to a lot of people and tolerable by a lot of others, but to some it's not and only paints motorcyclist in a worse light.  I was hoping it would be cancelled and replaced with something else, but it hasn't been.

Has it gotten any better?

Now Epic Rides to me is more like it in my book.  More broad range of what motorcycling is about.

Sorry, didn't mean to come down on your show if you like it.  That's cool.  I think I was just surprised someone on the SOHC forum liked the show.   :)

Well... I wish I had those few hours back. The Ducati monster upgrades were cool, but the other 90 minutes blew.    Sorry 8)

I agree, I think they have a few neat segments, but the majority seems to be targeted at the young, immature.... what I like to call 'mall riders'.

Oh well...  Check out Epic Rides if you ever get a chance.
