Lame

I shot an email to the spike network a couple months ago saying they needed to add motorcycles to their weekend power block segment. We should all start pounding the networks.

If you want it then yea, start telling them. They arent going to magically put it on their station. The stations follow the money and if they think there is a market then they will respond.
