I had been watching Greg White hosting 2wheel Tuesdays on the SPEED Channel until it was replaced by "Superbikes" and I would like to share my thoughts on this.
First, kudos to Speed Channel. The weekly racing reruns are cool. And the AMA same day taped events are great. I really like the Australian Matt Mladin and watched him and other greats at the race track at Barber. Thrilling stuff there guys...much fun!
I'm living in Owensboro KY. home of the Haydens. I mistakenly thought that when Nicky comes home for a reprieve from his MotoGP racing schedule that he would be mobbed by throngs of local fans. Not so. He sits calmly in the Texas Roadhouse and has dinner with his family and participates in autograph signings at said restaurant occasionally. Our sports page only mentions his activities in as few words as the editor thinks are possible (with the exception of his winning the overall championship last year finally dethroning Rossi.), saving space for "important" things.
Today is Saturday and I am looking on the right column of the sports page squinting my old eyes to find the MotoGP lineup. The notice is for 3 races. The MotoGP 250 and when it will be shown on speed (1p.m.), the next race.....MotoGP world Championship and when it will be shown on Speed (2pm). And the MotoX championship.
The total size of the spot is approximately 5/8ths inch tall by 3 inches long for all this info.
Nascar however......3/4 of one page. Ugh...give me a break.
Regarding SPEED Channel, I cant stand that "In your face" crash and burn bull carp
of "Superbikes". Same old junk as usual. We all enjoy motorcycling right? Even as an avid motorcyclist, I can only stomach so much of that stunt riding junk. How many times can we be mezmorized by some tattooed squid doing a burn out till the tire blows then throwing the bike down and raising his arms in the air as if he had just done something spectacular? B-O-R-I-N-G!!
It is as obnoxious as that Harley worship show "American Thunder" on Speed Channel which sucked the chrome off those stupid tailpipes. Remember those scumbag losers with long hair and skull tattoes ex-con looking idiots? Seems anyone with a welder and a hammer and foul mouth was building "Custom" bikes and the TV camera loved every one of them. Oh yeah, lets not forget "The English Wheel" which every one of them had. Unique one-off designs.....To me, same old junk. "Biker Lifestyle?" Give me a break. Tell you what that gets you, just ask Billy. Billy Lane runs over a scooter in his Dodge truck and kills a the guy. The blood alcohol level of "Billy" David Lane was 0.192 percent. How about Indian larry? Of all of these types, I kinda had a soft spot for him. Indian Larry fell off his bike before a crowd of about 8,000 performing a stunt. He was not wearing a helmet. Now he's dead. What a senseless shame. Crazy stuff man......crazy.

Dennis Cage lives Evansville just across the river from me and he is the real deal. He loves all things we guys love and has been a really great promoter. Yep, he's kinda wormy but he is definately an advocate of motorcycling. I am very happy to see information about this program and I will definately tune in to watch.

It looks like this motorcycle show will be a good one. One that shows motorcycling in a positive light.

My comments/opinions are not meant to offend anyone. So dont be.
