Speed TV owned by communist

.And what is up with Stewert throwing away another win.

Hitting neutral is something I think that we all have done, but the first crash was pretty embarrassing.  Chad and the rest of the guys have to know that straight up they cant beat him.  He will occasionally beat himself.  I dont think you will see chad win anymore races, Bubba's gonna get his shit together.

as a big two wheel racing fan i am disgusted by the new television schedule im the type that if i know the outcome of a race i find it really hard to watch the race wheres the excitement in watching i find it somewhat a waste of time and its pretty hard to not look on the internet an not see the results you would have to pretty much stop looking at any site that deals with road racing im only going to be able to watch wsb moto gp an supercross/motocross go stewart

I've been reading his stuff for many years, and know full well of his enthusiasm for motorcycle roadracing, I met him at Daytona during the vintage races a few years ago.  He's always had quirky fun type material and I enjoyed reading some of it, but since AMA went to DMG it's been nothing but piss and vinegar directed at Roger Edmondson and DMG.

Could be personal, I don't know, but in my opinion his demeaner has changed toward what is now the AMA, he never ranted on like he's doing now against the old AMA, he jabbed when it was called for, but never with such obvious and blatant apperant anger, like his paycheck was going to be cut in half if DMG took over.

The poll about the Buell could have been any make, my race bike is a Honda,  lots of his "polls" are similar, quirky light and goofy etc, this one just seemed so in your face and anti-DMG, like that Buell is running in the class illeagaly thanks to DMG and the new rules they brought with them.

Remember, the poor Buell only has half as many pistons, another day.

The communistic term was just to stay with the theme of the subject about Spud Channel, my input about SP was in addition to.

I just think to have a somewhat influential sight on the web, then put up a nonstop barrage of attacks is detrimental to the sport.

Guess I'll just enjoy the pictures from now on and not read the material.

Love that freedom of speech.

 

So what you're saying is you don't like Superbike Planet?

First of all "communistic"???? I won't even go there.

Secondly, SP is run by Dean Adams, a huge fan and historian of racing. The material is his own, save for a handful of contributors. There is a lot of opinion and satire, but last I checked we still have freedom of speech and expression. I absolutely hate Bill Maher but he's entitled to share his opinions for the entertainment of the people who agree with him. I don't watch his show. See how simple that is?

Do you know what MIC is?? Motorcycle Industry Council. A non-profit organization like the AMA. I'm certain Buell is involved, along with the other OEMs. I don't think they're behind the Buell smearing. That's rediculous.

And lastly, why is it "un-American" to pick on the rules of the Daytona Sportbikes class? No one is ripping on the Buell, (if they were, it would be un-American, un-Canadian,  and un-Japanese since the bike is basically equal parts of each) Most are upset that DMG classified an 1125cc liquid cooled dohc twin with 600cc fours. Rightfully so, but I wont get into that here. Its a shame that this has to reflect poorly on Eslick, because he's an exceptional rider and great kid, but that's another story.

LMFAO...  If everyone who bitched about DMG had to pay a nickel to them, you'd see the greatest racing org on the fucking planet.

It just kills me the amount of bitching that is done about the DMG, from rules to coverage.  Specifically on SPEED coverage...  Has NO ONE stopped to consider that Speed doesn't come up to DMG/AMA and ask THEM for content?  That SPEED actually CHARGES AMA/DMG for their airtime?  Now let's keep that in mind and take a look at what happened with the economy...

In all the turmoil within the racing community around the change, coupled with the economy falling off a CLIFF, sponsors, spectators and racers alike backing out or not being able to afford to race or watch; what did you THINK would happen?

Maybe AMA/DMG could afford to have some TV time if they cut 3 weekends from the schedule.  Or raised the entry fees for racers and spectators.  Or perhaps they can take whatever slots they can get cheap and run whatever commercials they need to, to just put a glimpse of it on the air...

Honestly, all the whining over it makes me wish they WOULD go under just so people would really have some perspective on what they have now...

Understood.....have been doing "Animal Farm" with my Historical World Lit class the last couple weeks so application of communism has been a topic of coversation ( Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, etc).

I just look forward to WSB myself....fun to watch and not so much drama.

M

I'm with Mark on this one!  WSBK has been fun for me to watch and the last SS race was crazy awesome!  Was a great race from begining to end!
The DMG stuff is just too much right now. Bunch a riders were fined for not doing autograph sessions and Hacking and DiSalvo getting into it...
It's looking and sounding alot like NASCAR. Uggggh!  Sad to see it going they way it's going!

I wish Speed was communist. We would all own it. We would all control it. We could all watch it.  Welcome to Capitalism motherfuckers.

I think socialism is what you were looking for there.

[mwsportsimaging]

You are right, it is capitalism. They have the right to show what they want, and you have the right to start your own network and show whatever you want. Speed doesn't have a governmental ideology, it is simply trying to sell advertising. Just like you would if you owned a network.
