NORTY · 06-21-2006, 11:39 AM

There is a new program on SpeedTV. Debut: June 27 @ 6pm.
Hope it's good and not just another... :dunno

Yeah, I heard its called "Superbikes" and its gonna show some stunta trash.

It'll be like NOPI vision but for bikes. Hopefully it'll be entertaining unlike NOPI vision with all it's bad production quick scene cuts ala' ADD style.

Oh and it'll have drag bike race trash and custom bike trash too. :thumbup

Yup. That new show was horrible. They basically showed every stereotype there is about people that ride sportbikes. :thumbdown
That show is just going to make every non rider hate us more. I dont know what the hell they were thinking when they made it.

ok the first segment (6min) wasn't too bad was it ? saftey, trackdays, fasttrak riders, sporbikerental canyon carving. so far so good I guess... whats everybody complaining about? well I'll reserve judgement until I see the whole thing. second segment is not too bad. canyon riding ride at your own pace, race track not street. injuries. third segment group ride got caught speeding laughed it off. not so good but Its not blatanly irresponsible. bikenights. the showw looks tlike it tries to explain alot of what we do to non riders. but then again why would non riders, let alone anti motorcyclists watch a show about riding? and the summary was an argument for track riding vs. street riding. Am I watching the same show as you guys?

I will say todays show was much better than last weeks but it still needs a lot of improvement. What is this crap about wearing "colors"? That goes right back to last week when they were talking about "prospects". :banghead

Zero_1RR · 07-04-2006, 11:14 PM

It portrays us in a "thug" or "gang" type light to the rest of the world. If you want to wear colors or be someones prospect, go ahead its your choice. All I am saying is that I dont agree with it and I won't ever ride with anyone like this. I dont want to be portrayed in this light.

IMHO this show so far is not better than the tire steeling bald headed thief.
