Jason Britton knocks Ducati on "Superbikes"

Rambler1982 · March 08, 2009, 06:31:58 AM

Anyone else watch that show?

In a recent episode, they have Jason stunting on a Hypermotard. The first thing he says is, "My experience with Ducati says if there aren't a few modifications done to the bike, you might not make it very far on one wheel."

Then, sure enough, smoke started coming out of the bike, and oil was leaking everywhere.

Not exactly good PR for our brand, but I guess Ducatis were never really intended to be stunt bikes.

Who cares what Jason Britton says and anything on Stupidbikes for that matter.

When was the last time that retard was on a track? How many world championships has he won? How many has Ducati won? I rest my case.

Eh, it's not uncommon knowledge that if you wheely many ducs for a too long (don't know how long *too* is) that they stuffer from oil starvation. The oil pump is up toward the front of the engine - wheely and the oil goes to the back

And anyways who cares of Ducs are suitable for stunting? That's not what they are make for... it's like saying a screw driver doesn't make a good hammer.. Well duh.

That show's pretty dumb and I don't even know why they call it Suberbikes. When I 1st heard the title I thought it was going to be about racing... and found disappointment when it's 99% stunting.

sorry, I just like playing Devil's Advocate..

I just don't get the haters... $:-\$

Don't forget that the Hypermotard was promoted as a perfect Hooligan bike... the promo videos from Ducati had a stunter (Chris "Teach" McNeil) riding the bike.

well....I for one hope that ducati starts adding wheelie distance stats in it's bike info section

and....if memory serves me correct..... Jason was ride'n a HM for a photo/video shoot and they were try'n to shoot him ride'n a wheelie across a mile long bridge. The comment was not a slam at , just a statement of fact. geeee....my duck wont go past a the mile mark on one wheel.

He's ridden ducs in other shows, and had nothing but nice things to say.

There's probably some truth to that... but are there any other motorcycle shows on TV?

Sure there's American Chopper, but I'd like to see more shows involving sport bikes.

DucinKtown · March 08, 2009, 09:41:54 AM

Yes there is another show on the tube,

"Motorcycle experience" I get it here in Canada on TSN2.
I think in a show made here, showing lots a BMW bike so far, they have a turn through The Cali Mtn region out of LA.

Looks like real nice riding area.

I have also seen another one with a couple writers that ride around on new bikes in neat areas, I have seen one in Quebec, and another in Scotland on Triumph Bikes.

I do like Superbikes, when there is snow here, got to get some bike somehow.

Still can't believe that Speed dropped Two Wheel Tuesday for that piece of s#@t!!

Have never watched one single show for more than 5 minutes before I turn it off in disgust. Total juvi wanker crap. If you watch that I bet you like Brittany and the Jonas Brothers too.

Who cares what that moron thinks about Ducatis... for that matter anything.

I just cant get into the whole stunter crowd vibe... which is who the show caters to.... And unfortunately SPEEDTV pretty much held onto that show only .. Not much other programming catering to motorcyclists

Even when I try to watch the show it's annoying because there is very little show in between all the damn commercials.

Yea, I agree. I'm not really into the stunting either. But I watch the show anyway because occasionally they'll show some pretty cool bikes. Like Michael Jordan's custom 999s......
