Default Speed on Two Wheels - Updated!

Did anybody catch this show? I just joined this site so I wasn't sure if ya'll heard about it in time.
If not here is the Kawasaki press release:


ROAD RACING - Haydens On TV
Posted by Kit Palmer
Discover The Haydens 4/17/2006
The following is a release from Kawasaki:

Reigning AMA Supersport Champion Tommy Hayden and series runner-up Roger Hayden are to appear on the Discovery Channel's newest show, "Speed on Two Wheels," scheduled to air Wednesday, April 19th. The Kawasaki Racing Team riders will be appearing alongside their crew as the show progresses through the many technical aspects of what it takes to be competitive in the AMA Superbike series.

Produced by Cry Havoc Productions, "Speed on Two Wheels" also takes the viewer into the world of the modern sportbike. Viewers will learn the artistry and engineering of these two-wheeled rocketships and what makes them tick. The program covers everything from how the average consumer can learn better riding skills to how top racers dial-in their finely tuned machines.

Depending on the cable provider the show is scheduled to air on either the Discovery Channel or the Discovery Science Channel. Be sure to check your local listings for time and channel.
It was an awesome show, and I'll provide a link to download it but the DVD will be out later this summer and will include an extended version and tons of bonus features so make sure to buy it!

Also after you watch it make sure to leave feedback on the Discovery Science Feedback forums, they do actually look at the feedback left and take it into consideration for future programming. It only takes a minute to sign up and they don't send you any spam:

Feedback Forums
the next post will have a link to download the show!

DOWNLOAD: Speed on Two Wheels
it is a large file (~400MB), because it was not compressed much = awesome quality

its really good server, so downloads should be pretty fast

okay so I did think this would get a little more/better response

for those that downloaded it, what did you think?

personally I thought it was AWESOME and a huge step for sportbikes in nearly mainstream tv

I know it was 100x better than 2 Wheel Tuesday and all the other Speed crap

That was great, it was actually the first program about motorcycles I've seen that focused on sportbikes. Nice to see people know that there are motorcycles out there based on cutting edge performance and technology, not archaic design and technology from the 1960's.
