Default Speed Channel used to be great.

I've sent them several emails (big deal I know) letting them know that we don't want to see NASCAR, or NASCAR highlights, or "drifting." It used to be all about racing (boats, cars, planes, bikes, etc) Now I defy you to try and find something other than PINKS.

It's turned into total crap.

I've crouched on my Road Glide with my feet up on the passenger floorboards plenty of times, just to stretch out the back. I've also laid flat on the tank with my legs straight out back going through a miserable freezing downpour in a Washington Pass. It works.
I understand riding in several different positions to ease some pain, but they were trying to sell Street Glides. It looked goofy. The guy who edited this show was an idiot, I guess is what I'm saying.

I thought their visit to the "top secret" test track in Arizona was cool. So I Googled Harley-Davidson in Mesa and got an address for the "top secret" location. Clicked over to the satellite view of the map and got a look at it as well. It's a big circle.

How much of a secret could it have been when it had HD logos all over the front of the building visible to the public?

........ and that girl? yea yea... marry her and see what shes like...

So, is this supposed to become a series? Or was it a one time 1-hour infomercial?

AND I'll betch'a those bikes were trailered most of the way in the rain. They rode in the rain long enough for the "shots" necessary is all. Cross Country with no luggage huh? Waste of time really...
