Half-way through the night shift and I start thinking about the crap that they put on TV for bikers.
The other night on men & motors (I think it was 'used bike heaven' they had this geezer trying out different bikes and marking them for the usual categories (comfort, reliability etc etc).
Now he was probably a nice bloke but it was like watching paint dry as this poor soul who had obviously just been plcked from off his courier bike droned on.
He tried a Ducati and marked it down on reliability because he "heard somewhere that they were unreliable" - cutting edge TV journalism this.
The rest of the m&m bunch seems to consist of a diet of stoppies and wheelies performed to the strains of heavy metal guitar licks, or badly commented motocross events.
The programme makers really have us down as a shallow bunch of twats if they think this satisfies us. Why can't bikers have a decent terrestrial programme which covers other aspects of biking like gear, biking issues, a bit of sport - in other words a proper magazine programme instead of this banal shit presented by ill-informed tarts and thrown together for fifty quid a time?
God I hate night shifts.
