RE: Superbikes on SPEED
Hey, I agree with Dthompson, Turnin20s, twistatech, and everyone else who is standing up for the show. It is true about jason Briton, the only clothes he owns I bet are icon. He gets so much free sh** cause he can stunt like no other. He deserves it.
I thought the show was hella cool. If I lived in the areas they covered, I would know where to go and hang out with people that feel the same as me. Its a way to get peoples names out there in a way that all can relate to. Im going to continue to watch the show, it was fkin awesome. Jason had the 600rr for a day and he wheelies it better than I can after my first riding season on the same bike. Its amazing the skills he has to be able to huck it up whenever. I would like to see some of you guys whining and complaining try that. Just hop on a brand new bike, stock gearing, never really ridden it before, and ride block long wheelies....... whats that? you cant? thats ok, then your NORMAL>
If people choose to stunt on the street, let em do it. Everybody needs a release. If they cause an accident, they should get the full penalties... its part of the game. YOu gotta pay to play anywhere. Have you guys looked at the prices of track days? Let alone getting a bike to compete, but paying out the *** just to use the track, plus getting tires that will compete... I mean come on. Its getting nuts.

Superbikes was Superstupid. I watched the entire show just so I could make a fair judgement. After about ten minutes it was a loss cause. In my opinion, it's exactly the type of promotion motorcycling doesn't need.
I have seen Jason Britton before, and I'm just not impressed with the whole stunting deal. It's amazing what they can do, but I just don't see the point.
Hard to understand why speed would dump 2 Wheel Tuesday in favor of Superbikes. Sorry but a show that promotes breaking the law is not doing our sport any favors. Two thumbs down.

Lots of hate in this room.
There is only so many times you can watch some one do one handed-one footed circles and still be impressed. 80 mph high chairs cool, the first time you see it. You kinda get jaded to it when your around so much I guess. My boy's brother (tries to) stunts a VT 750; now thats good entertainment watching him keep a 650lbs bike from landing on him. Alot of the stuff involved I still think is cool because it's stuff I won't attempt because I'm not willing to pay the price of wrecking my bike. But how many times can you really watch it and be fascinated.
Would anyone take a Z06, GT2, Carrea GT, or Enzo and drift it? How about putting hydrolics in it to see how high you can bounce it? Then why take a "race bike" and cut it up to put a cage or 12 bar on it. It sucks to see when people first started doing this years ago cutting up beautiful 900s, Erion 929s because they're "great stunt bikes." When I bought my 04 6RR some told me they didn't like it because you can't bash the tank in to sit or stand on it. It didn't take long to get around that problem. What a shame how about riding it. The show is the least of the concerns of the sportbike community. Now got to worry about all the "new drifters" flying around our favorite roads learing how crash or the new age of stunters ("summer squids") that will be around for a few weeks untill they realize crashing hurts when wearing a tank top and shorts w/out your helmet strapped on!
By the way 1)Rossi is still the best rider in the world and if your left hand was broke many of us wouldn't even be out there for less passing other G.P. riders w/ two good hands! 2)Wheeling was started by racers (back when riding 125 and 250 was cool) to celebrate victories not the majority of tool bags baning up a wheelie in rush hour. I'm done.[sm=rant.gif]

I didn't know anyone watched Nascar, you can only watch a dog chase his tail for so long.
So it sounds like spuerbikes was another "biker boys"
I had a friend set up the season on his pvr so I can watch it later.

In between Nascar and what I call Truck Nascar, I watch anything regarding muscle cars and I like Two Wheel Tuesday cause it allows me to catch up on the weekend races that I miss while working.
I'd rate the new show a 5 out of 10. It's a hell of a lot beter than Unique Whips!

Are you going to judge this guy after not watching but looking up results of a couple races. Just end the season right now. He's fourth right now. He won a few in a row(6) and 2 on the Yamaha. Can you sell me what ever your on cause it' better than what I can find.
