Fuck SPEEDtv

I guess what I do not get would be that fact that speed hates motorcycles so much, why do they have the copyright to this stuff and won't sell to someone actually gives a shit about motorcycle racing...

The "usual" speed commentators suck ass, a few weeks ago they Jason Pridmore and Greg White awesome pairing.  Ralph Shaheen sucks ass and I do not believe that he has ever raced a motorcycle.

On the positive side congrats to Ben Bostrom. Nice to see him on top of the podium. Got to tell ya I did not even know Eric was back racing again until I watched the race Sunday night. The state of motorcycle racing in the US is in bad shape. It is not Speeds fault. The ratings are not there because the audience is small. They have to sell this shit to advertisers. Look at the crowds at the GP in Indy. Not even close to an auto race. If they were racing Harleys they would have 500,000 in one weekend. NASCAR has control of AMA so let us see what happens over the next couple of years. Maybe they can get Dale Jr. to race a bike and people will give a shit. You have to get an audience and you cannot get that without fans. The fans are loyal but a small number. The IRL is on the Versus network for this same reason. You got to have advertisers and they don't spend the big bucks when nobody is watching. If nobody is watching the time slot sucks. There is no quick fix to it either. The AMA and NASCAR is the best hope motorcycle racing has got.

A great example of how SPEED ranks is the comparison with Fox Sports for F1 coverage.  I wish Fox would tak everything that is non-NASCAR away from Speed.  They do a much better job.  And aside from racing, their only bike show is about stuntas.
