Not really...I know there are some programs on Men and Motors, and also they sometimes have programs for bikes on Motors TV, road tests etc. They are very far and few between, unfortunatly.

Makes me wonder...Bear has BBC contacts...

try men and motors, they seem to do their fair share of bike programmes.

There used to be a few resonable ones on a while back, but there were always this nob on there, cant remember his name but he spoilt it by making bikers look like power ranger speed freaks.

Very bad PR :(

Oh and he overtook the camera car on double yellow on roads that wernt closed!

FOOL!

5th gear do have some bikes on there, sometimes. Maybe we should all put our name to a letter and ask 5th gear if they will have 5-10 mins for us bikers. They seem to like em so they might!

I do, but not as high up as program controllers unfortunately. If I did it'd be wall to wall bike programs every weekend and evening...

And I'd be doing all the reviews...

The Ride starts tonight on National Geo. 6pm- 7pm . New series, another "Sanders" being the guide on a big trip. Guy and gal couple who round the world record breakers. Alaska -Argentina. Looks good.

Petrolhead heaven the night.The Ride, 'Wan and Boorish, Top Gear.

Anybody seen the tri monthly "Party Cycle" on Motors TV. Feckin' hilarious translations from the original French. About as good as it gets for 2wheel reviews I am afraid and still too many "poof chariots" featured:smt021:p

Terrible, I never overtake where there are 'No Parking' restrictions.

I do regard double or solid WHITE lines in the centre of the road as discretionary for motorcyclists though.

Trouble with Men+Motors is you never know how old the program will be and they love showing repeats.

sinbad, that's the problem with tv nowadays. You try and follow a comedy. I find that after showing so many, they revert to the start again i.e. Desmonds on Trouble.
