I have also been giving some thinking about who watches motorcycle racing. I honestly don't think it is the squid that hops on the hottest thing in the showroom. I feel that we are the only ones that watch it...real motorcycle racing enthusiasts. When you slice the motorcycling community down to its components, you see some distinctions. We are a very small minority. We look at it from a narrow perspective, thinking more people would be interested. In actuality, our choices to ride sportbikes is for the most part frowned upon by the majority. Look how many times Corbin's Ride-On, or Discovery's shows air. Imagine having that type of programming! Now I'm gonna hop off my soap box and watch Faster 2. |
hhmmm very good point. i'll admit i never had much interest untill i started riding. now i can watch with alot more understanding of bike and rider. i've often thought this about nascar and its popularity. you see everybody drives a car so they think they can relate to what nascar drivers are doing and that on some level they could do the same. were they look at sportbike racing and don't have a clue. now take sportbike riders, weed out the posers, and there's not really alot of us. so maybe there is low viewership? as far as bobsledding i just don't get it. maybe its becouse we all went sledding as kids and think we could do that too?
