I don’t mind the music, but boy that bike sounds cool, it would be great if they did have a bit more of the location sound in the videos.

Miles, even though Hammond and May own and love bikes, Clarkson hates them, although he did seem to get it when riding the Vespa in Vietnam and has often used his editorial control to limit bike stories or rubbish them in relation to guests or the other hosts. They all also seem to have quite a hatred of electric vehicles, but this is probably more just about the fun of the show.

That said, Clarkson does have a property on the Isle (probably for tax and speed speed limit reasons) and hopefully will see the event and maybe report on it.

I am in Australia too and there does not seem to be anything in the media about it over here. I know someone in the events corporation in my state and have tried to convince him of the merits of having something like this over here, but people just do not seem to get it.

LOL! I just logged back on and saw the story. I thought: “Either he’s the fastest keyboard in the west . . . or he was already working on it.” Thanks!

I just saw this mention over on RRW: http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=36796

It looks like some of these bikes will be competing in the US. Would be cool to get a chance to see them at a local track.

Paul, if you can get any more information on what will be going on in the US, I think your readers would be interested.
