Bikes on TV

[Simon B]

Ive gotta laugh a bit at the moment. For how long has it been debated down the local or at a run '' There aint enough bike programes on TV''. Now there are a few to choose from and I dont just mean race coverage.
Dr Rods Bike surgery
American Chopper
Used Bike Heaven
Wrong way round
Great Biker build off etc etc

. And you start seeing plenty of threads on various Bike related sites and what are most people doing- slagging off the programe? I just dont get it. These programes are meant to be entertainment. American chopper is basically the Osbournes on wheels, and treat it as that a laugh. i just think were pretty lucky to at last be getting programes that arent just showing bikes racing round a track.

It'd be even better if they were on terrestrial telly tho'! Or even Channel five for that matter, and not just on satellite/cable.

The best thing that's been on Channel 4 so far is Monster Garage - that's coz the first one had Odgie on there.

Oh yeah, before I forget, Wrong Way Round is Radio 4's book of the week this week (9.30am, or anytime you like if you go to the website and click on listen again)

Crafter, If you havent got a warranty on it, look in your local yellow pages for SKY dealers and you might find a good one like we did who replaced the whole system for £50.
Hey its worth a go.
