I agree, the show use to be good but with all the J&P, Kury and Performance Mach. crap it is just a commercial that is 15 min's long with shorter commercialsduring the time frame andwith Michelle flopping her store boughts around some(not that they look bad)its gotten pretty boring IMO

I wish they would make a show that went around to differant shops that actually do manual labor so you can see what is going on.

Superbikes is a great show. American Thunder has, well, lost it's thunder.
Superbikes...the show that glorifies breaking the law.

I want to see a show were the builders get $15,000 and have to build their bikes from catalog parts or whatever they can fabricate on their own. I'm tired of seeing $100,000 builds. Let's see something that your average guy could build in his garage. THAT would be entertaining!

The Speed Channel had the right formula... for a while. We have apparently watched the shows from time to time... and purchased accessories featured by the sponsors. Check out the bikes, clothes, and vendors at your next rally as proof.

The outdoor channels do the same thing with the hunting shows. Who doesn't want to go buy hunting gear after seeing it in action on the tube/panel (guess I'm showing my age)? Look at the way Nugent (Spirit of the Sponsor) shamelessly plugs for his constituents!

I guess it becomes clichĂŠ after a while (Kury, J&P, PM, the twins) and the producers move on to another formula for extracting sponsor dollars.

I'm in full agreement - the unfortunate part of your story can be said for our favorite bagger magazines as well. I've been writing American Bagger for sometime wondering why their feature bikes are only those who contribute to the magazine and not the backyard machanics that actually wrench themselves.

Anyways... You may want to consider Alexis for you show - LOL
