They did away with the 2 Wheel Tuesday show, replaced it with more crotch rocket shows.

But SuperBikes is still a good show, as is Epic Ride.

They still have their Chrome TV programs like American Thunder. Not too much motorcycling on that show though. More like a fashion accessory show.

But, that being said, if you are a fan of motorcycle racing. 100% Yes.

The only episode of Epic Rides I watched was the last episode I watched. At the top of the show, the 3 celebrity riders discuss the 3 'average Joe' riders vehicles and experience, one of which happened to be HBRDR over on the advrider.com boards. Now maybe I'm being a little over sensitive, but it seemed like the celebrities were a little derisive about HBRDR's GS... there was almost a feeling of "does anyone still ride those things?"

HBRDR's recounting of the experience can be found here:

Choice quote:
"When we got to the 4 Aces and I realized that our "Epic Ride" was to Vegas on Yamaha Warriors I actually had to "act" excited.
