In Regards to your piece on Sport bikes "Deadly World Of Sport Bikers"
I am left speechless, once again any hope that their was still a thread of integrity in the media has been dashed. You went out of your way to find the dramatic minority of sport riders and thus portray all Sport riders in a single light? Hope your ratings were good, because today, and tomorrow and next week your portrayal of ALL sport bikers as being young irresponsible punks is going to affect me trying to ride to and from work. Your biased and sensational portrayal of a small minority of sport riders is going to appeal to the masses of brain numbed, have sentient simians that tune in and believe that what they are told by the press is fact.
Congratulations, I just hope you realize that by stirring up this kind of misplaced public angst toward sport bikes you are going to get people killed. Mom's and Dad's Brother's and Sister's, are going to die because of your sensationalism and the biased look you portrayed. There is enough misunderstanding and aggression towards motorcyclists already, without you stirring up the pot of ignorance.
You know nothing or chose to say nothing about the millions of sport bike riders who are mature adults, Doctors, IT professionals, Artists, Police, etc. No mentions of the wonderful mix of all races and classes that get together here and there to share and enjoy the experience. It's open to everyone, regardless of what color or how much money you make. Say that about the Harley crowd...
I hope you cannot sleep at night, knowing that you have fallen from a branch of professional journalism right into the ugly pool of tabloid TV, you've become a joke, and you are going to get people killed.
