Default WSBK Round 1 on Speed Petition

I don't know how many of you watch bike racing on TV but if you care at all please try to harass Speed Channel into showing Round 1 of WSBK live. This season is going to be a very good one as Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, and I believe Kawasaki are all fielding factory entries this year. I'm hoping BBoz can rep for the USA although I'm kinda skeptical since he hasn't even gotten on the bike yet

Yeah I absolutely HATE that which is exactly why we need to make our voice heard to Speed. There is certainly enough bike enthusiasts out there to get the airtime but if we don't show the interest it sorts of proves to Speed they should show NASCAR instead.

WSBK hasn't been exciting for a while now. Last 2 years have been the Ducati World Cup.

Their days are numbered. Judging from Vermeulen's pace last year on basically a privateer Honda they are going to have a serious problem staying up front against a multi-pronged Honda effort as well as having to contend with a factory Yamaha program with Haga on board.
