I watched it and again I liked it better than ol Greg's show.
When was the last time HE took 100+ tricked out R1's to the dragon?

just at the dragon last week, watched it drooling the entire time! to anyone who hasn't been there, GO, it's worth it. in fact it is way better in person than it looked on the show.

Superbikes has also been coming on again on wednesday nights where I live, just in case anybody missed it. There is a discussion on the Quick board about it also.

There is no racing news, no technical bits, no bike reviews, no interviews with people of note in the motorcycle business/ racing world. Just a bunch of fluff. Very much like the crap for choppers, only it has sport bikes.

I agree - but it's not as bad as American Floppers, at least it features sport bikes.

I miss White's show which gave us weekly news on racing and etc, and he did have some great guests.

Superbikes was okay the one time I watched it. But now I'm thinking of dumping cable completely. Eight years ago when it was the "Speed Channel," they covered obscure, different stuff like arena observed trials events from Europe and the WRC circuit, Dakar, flat track events, etc.

I realize that wasn't gonna give them the ratings they want today. But I'd gone so far as to rag the local cable co. to add it to the lineup by mail and in person. The NASCAR channel thing they've got going on now just feels like a betrayal.

Now we have things like "live coverage" on MotoGP.com, podcasting and streaming. I was even able to watch the local minor-league hockey team clinch their championship this spring. With high-speed internet coverage of sporting events that are too 'minor' for TV, I figure I can probably save money while *still* watching what I like.

Sorry, Speed. It was good five years ago...

Watched my first show yesterday, probably won't watch it much. The Roland Sands guy lost me when he said his "No Regrets" bike was intended to create something unique, a H-D engined sports bike. Where the hell has he been hiding?

I gotta give props where they are due. The host appears to be an EXTREMELY talented stunt rider and yet he still seems to be a very likeable person with a good personality.
Often times when someone really excels at something it seems to turn them into a peck when around that particular crowd. Looks like this guy doesn't let it go to his head.
The show seems to be improving as each episode passes. I'm still holding out hope it was just a slow starter.
