Canadians are a little different :D :D :D

Isn't that the understatement of the year  ;D

 Ya that was a pretty horrible show.

What I liked the MOST was all the attention paid to the paint job, but the biek was otherwise completely stock.. down to the tires, gearing, everything..

The total complete lack of ANY idea of what it takes to go to the track, or set up a bike is a scary constant  on tv today...

But then again, she was going so slow, and with so little lean angle...

If I was female, I would be downright pissed off about that show and the poor light it casts on women on bikes...

That did kinda suck. Her lack of even an idea of how to attach bodywork and make a bracket said it all to me and Jen.

Hey it's club roadracing on TV.  Give it *some* love.  :)

My girlfriend and I were watching and she cringed when she saw the bikes crashing.  Now I know she's truly into it.  Anyone else would have loved seeing the crashes.  :D

I didn't get why she went with the white plates either.  She should have flat out been an amateur.

I don't have cable... but from what I've heard from everyone who saw that show... ICK!  They've done a disservice to every woman who's ever thrown a leg over a racebike.

Please, please, PLEASE... let's get more women on the grid so that it's no longer an "event" to see a female racer.

IMO the story covered the wrong female rider.  They should have done the story on expert racer Misti Hurst, who was the blonde gal on the show that was giving racing advice to "Motorcycle Girl."  They attached a camera to Misti's bike for that show, so several of the on-bike shots came from her.

Misti is currently off to race the Italian CBR Cup:

The most surprise part is that they got Steve Crevier (spelling?) behind her 100%.............   ::)

[Stinger562]

Ick is right. I thought the program was crap. I was glad to see that the sport is getting attention, but I think they could have at least covered someone that had a clue. I've seen plenty of women racer that have their sh*t together. Was it just me or were the painters real jerks? They spent more time on conflict and fashion than racing.  :-/

ITS A RACE BIKE!!!! SHE WANTED TEN HOURS OF AIR BRUSH AND 10 MASKING HOURS,ON A RACE BIKE SHE ROAD IN THE RAIN!!!!! THE PAINTER(GUY) PUT HER IN HER SPOT.
