    I've been on here for a week or two now, and had some very interesting conversations. It seems there are some that love BSB, some that like WSB.
    Me? I go to bed dreaming of blasting down Bray hill, sweeping through Ballacraine and having my fillings shaken out past Ginger Hall.
    I also love a bit of speedway. For a short, sharp balst of excitement it's hard to beat.

    What's your love?

    You need to go. It is so much better than watching it on TV. Let me know if you make it over next year, we can meet up for a pint or two of Okells :D

    I must admit, I am loving MotoGP this year, but I think thats down to a certain cheeky faced Spaniard showing everyone how it's done and Cal's relatively strong showing.

    From an armchair point of view;
    0/ All road racing when it's on ITV4 or BBC NI - TT, NW200 etc
    1/ BSB - there's great coverage on all the racing and I like the Burnicle/Whitham combination.
    2/ WSB - more Brits to shout about and the bikes are very loosely based on their road going cousins, commentary as above.
    3/ MotoGP - I like the Eurosport version but BBC commentary I need Cox like i need a third arm pit, absolute nightmare in a bubble car.
    3/ Italian Series on Motors TV - they're nuts
    4/ AMA Superbike/Sportbike on Motors TV
    5/ World Trials on Motors TV
    6/ Hairy bikers - nah only kidding
    7/ Any other bike sport when the 0 - 5 aint on

    Love WSB, BSB, Nw series and TT.Motogp and World Speedway I like too.In the winter months when f*ck all is on I'm always at a clay shoot somewhere in Kent on a sunday morning.Been taking a break from it since getting the blade going every 4-6 weeks and still coming home with winnings. Beaten the 20 times world champion George Digweed in March was the pinacle of my shooting career.Sunday afternoon I'm running an under 15s football team who my son plays for.Busy months ahead.

    I'll have to look out for the Italian series. Never seen it on there, but I always forget about Motors TV

    Always wanted to try Clays, but it's one thing I never got round to. As for standing on a footy field all winter with over enthusiastic parents yelling at their kids, I envy you not :p

    Yeh it's the Campionato Italiano Velocita or CIV. If you go to the website you can view the TV schedule for the coming weeks TV Guide UK Motors TV Tuesday 01 October 13 | 19h-0h

    Superbikes are ace with the likes of Eddie La Marra and you know how wild his riding can be, well before he had his big off anyway. Always Panigales up the front closely followed by the Kawasakis. 600's are good to watch as well as the Moto3. Too Tall Terry Rymer is on the commentary team, so someone who know their stuff always makes it worth watching
