That's a real bugger. It's about the only TV I watch these days apart from the odd film.

Still, looking on the bright side, I won't need to get a full Sky package when I move. Will only need Eurosport for the MotoGP and WSB. That hasn't been cancelled has it?

Good.....its crap anyway

Nothing lost really there then. As mentioned before the programmes are not the best. Although i do like bikes aloud.

But on the whole i can take it or leave it.

I agree with most on this,not the best put produced TV,but any bikes is better than no bikes

That's the point, though, isn't it. There's absolutely nothing on the box about bikes, apart from M & M at certain times. You can tell by the quality of the adverts that viewing figures aren't good, I suppose.

Due to the lack of quality information on TV, I've finally resorted to buying bike mags. Only 6 weeks after I resolved to do exactly that, I've bought my first magazine and it's got an article about the Ducati test route, which I haven't had time to read yet. I was amazed at the range of mags in Smiths. There may not be much on TV about bikes but there's a vast range of journalism about them. It's quite ironic, actually, that us 'moron bikers' are being catered for by magazine journalists far more than TV producers. :P

Anyone fancy pitching a Desmo / DSC focussed TV show to them instead?
American Chopper seems to do well

We could do a pilot on skid's hybrid

Follow Desmo Due through it's inaugural season....

Surely Redruth's daughters would be up for presenting

i think its the same as everything else everyone is trying to stop bikers

ok not the best programs but still better than the dogs showing ther saggy tits off later on and that **** clarkson

Thats a real ****er - I agree that even shite bike programmes are better than none at all. I usually watch m&m only for the 2 wheeled stuff - At least it helps raise our profile. It's a shame that no-one could be bothered to make a 'Top Gear' for bikes.

I could supply you with an ex BBC lighting and sound camera man in the form of my elder brother who has gone freelance !

Has this been confirmed ?

All the bike programs dissapeared on Monday, but have been back in full force ever since
