Fox News Report "Motorcycle Daredevils" 11/5

[steeltoe]

One must assume, someone with little or no knowledge of the subject gathered your facts.  Surely a seasoned proffesional did not piece together this juvenile misrepresentation of our community. 

Living in Florida I see sportbikes everyday.  I've not seen any "races" on any of the streets here.  I do know a large number of riders frequent the local racetracks for legal organized racing.  This group was not mentioned in your piece.  Apparently you are unaware that riders wishing to "imitate the pros" as you say, do so at one of hundreds of racetrack events.  These events are referred to as "Trackdays" and are far more interesting than a short video of kids doing wheelies.  One of the most notable tracks for motorcycles is in Alabama as I'm sure you are aware.  I will not ask you to name it. 

A good business practice and a sign of maturity is to present a solution along with the problem.  I am positive any attempt by you to provide information where the riders in your story can go would be met with open arms.  I also am positive it all depends on what audience you serve.  That is, what audience do you care about?   

Fair and Balanced does not describe the rather amateurish piece you aired.  It may be negativity is the focus of your work.  If so,  I applaud your efforts.

Well said Ben and K3.

I did send it grasshopper.  That piece was truly useless insofar as meaningful information for any party.  It had neither a point nor purpose.   

Hey look, WMD's!

wow i am shocked at the irresponsable resporting that was done and how irgnoant it was. Im pissed at how poorly they researched and presented everything. I can honestly say as a highschool student I could do then times better than that. i have so much to say about that report but you guys already covered it. I'd liek to take one of those reporters to a race weekend. Although I duno if they would live through the tar n feathering ahha
