2006 Bike Racing TV Coverage

I'm really a little bit pissed off.

On the plus side, the BBC is to show live coverage of MotoGP this year. Excellent news.

Also on the plus side, ITV will be showing live coverage of the British Superbike series this year. Obviously they realised just how thrilling the racing was last year and decided to give the public something exciting to watch, rather than F1 processions {yawn}

On the minus side, there's the Superbike World Championships. Last year, Channel 4 decided to schedule its highlights show to a short slot in the wee small hours of the morning and then use up most of those slots with Warren "Interesting As A" Pole boring us to sleep. This year? I can't find any mention anywhere of any terrestrial TV coverage of World Superbikes. Arsebiscuits...

Braking Wave Discs

I managed to acquire a set of front wave discs by Braking and fitted them the other evening.

They look the business, I reckon.

I've also fitted the fairing I got cheaply from eBay now that it's been resprayed the blue rather than its original red. I need to decide whether to get a set of decals for each side, but they're around £25 each!
