Liberty media launched a dedicated 24 hour moto gp tv channel in America this week. There were 200 odd thousand people at Suzuka for the endurance racing last weekend. It’s most definitely not over.
As a slight aside, when was the last time anyone saw a motorbike ad on the telly? Im inundated with fucking funeral plans, adopt an ostrich and mattresses ….
Is there the slightest possible chance that the motorcycle industry (certainly in the U.K.) just needs to catch up a bit and is quite frankly shooting itself in the arse ? Zero ads, anywhere (and I mean zero). How much must they cost these days lol. Pocket change lol. Showrooms closed 50% of the weekend. Tommy bridewell (no disrespect) being sponsored by a firm that hasn’t opened for the 2 years since it was “launched”. Scandalous ticket prices (Silverstone) Etc….
To be fair though, at 17 I didn’t know many 40 year olds and there’s a word for 62 year olds that hang around teenagers. It depends a lot on the bubble you are in. My nephew is 34 and has just traded his R6 that he’d had for 5 years for an MT 09
My Son every time we go for a ride, he passed his A1 test September 2023. Despite the Police bigging up that they always pull a 125 without L plates on he hasn't been stopped. My local MOT station for motorbikes his Son too. Other than that zero
