What's your favorite type of motorcycle racing to watch? Are you into American racing or world wide racing? Dirt, or street? Or like me do you like the TT stuff the best (I love the Isle of Man race)?

Thanks for posting a fresh poll, Kurt. My apologies to everyone that I've been remiss in my duties of introducing new topics.

After last year, I couldn't help but love world superbike for the big twin action and the fight between Bayliss and Edwards that's got to rank as some of the best motorcycle competition ever. But of course this year, the ranks of SBK riders have been stripped, so maybe it'll suck.

I thought you meant Super TT, AKA Supermotard style?

Isle of Man still rocks, 170+ through the city, crazy...............

Finally a new poll- yeah.
If I became ridiculously wealthy I would totally go to all the World and AMA superbike races from pactice/elimination rounds to final races. My groupieness would continue by going to the Isle of Mann. Actually I plan on doing that trip before I die regardless of my wealth. Yeah everyone else wants to go to Europe or wherever, yet I want to go to the TT races.

Last year, I would have said WSB... This year, it's going to suck, since all the talent went to MotoGP...

Last year, I didn't like MotoGP, and still don't completely, because of all the politics and other crap. But that's where the best riders and the best bikes are this year, and they're at least expanding with a few more American riders (and an Aussie, of course), so it's not Japan & Euro only now... So this year, I'll be watching MotoGP mostly , but of course watching everything else I can too :)

Maybe you can be my umbrella girl someday, then you'd get to see all that stuff. :D

I voted for WSBK on the basis of what it used to be. But now the big stars have all defected to MotoGP, it looks like that's gonna be the best racing on television.

Last year it was WSB but this year I'm dying to see some GP.

Most sports bars that have a satellite will gladly switch the channel to Speed on the big screens if you request it, unless there's a Chargers, Padres or Lakers game playing, then you get it on a small screen.

Rossi is fun to watch! See him back it in:

I think AMA SBK will be better this year. All the big stars have moved on but I think that will make for tight competition. I always hate it when the same three riders lead the race (by a large margin) from the second lap on. At least Motogp won't be as predictable as last year, more talent and better equipment all around.

Last year, WSB, this year, I'd have to go with AMA(support the locals) or MotoGP(best of the best). How do I vote in the poll now:confused:

i like any road racing as long as there's some good dicing.

WSB's silverstone race 1 is a very good example.
