MOTOGP » Have your say on motorcycle racing

Dear Crash, I lost the will to live half way through the survey and closed the window. Rather than ask every question you could possibly think of and demand answers to all, an "ignore question" button could have been an advantage. Given the design of the questions, I am not even sure what your aims are. I am very interested in road racing but not really any other form of bike racing.

Motorcycle racing is a true sport and a test of man and machine no gimmicks no posing and no sacking the manager when you don''t win.
When the flag drops your on your own. In races like the I.O.M TT after the 4th lap and your engine is getting tired and your tiers are worn and probably dripping oil from the crank case and the bike is sliding all over the place it takes true Courage and Determination to keep on going.
For All Those That Wish To Have a Go I Wish You Every Success In Your Own Efforts.

I managed to get to the fourth page. Why it has to be so boring? I consider myself a big motosport fan but I even don't all those sports are.

hey man, I'm with Mr Brown.
I'm afraid to say I couldn't be bothered with the survey like the other guys. I managed about 2 pages before I started having suicidal tendencies. All I'll say while I'm here, is that the races I prefer watching are the ones with the least amount of electronic assistance. The reason I watch, is to see the riders giving everything, riding right to the limit. I'm not intestested in seeing a perfect micro-controller. At the heart of the sport, are a group of riders who want to challenge each other, to find out who is the best in the world. Its's nots meant to be a display of the latest nano-metre technology available for bikes.

I think some ppl need more incentive maybe some highly prized JT autographed Kangaroo skin gloves !!!!

Oh my, I fought the good fight and got through to the bitter end. But NEVER again!

Some comments - they seem to want to know if we'd buy a racing news magazine or paper. Frankly I don't know ANYONE who relies on print media for racing news anymore. Racing News is a "current affairs" sort of thing and I would imagine most consumers want it fast... (which is why anyone reading this comment is on Crash.net to begin with.) Glossy mags are still good for bike reviews and general interest stories, but racing news has moved to the web and I can't see it going back.

So that leaves a website as the best remaining option, which leads to the question: who would even want to challenge Crash.net?

i did manage to finish the survey,and yes alot of the questions are *****,big racing fan but maybe would like to see another racing mag which concentrates on in depth interviews with riders mechanics,team owners,etc,maybe even sponsors.im not 100% sure but i do think there is room out there for another racing mag in the right format. and nobody better disagree with me.

I'd agree with MB, although during the off season websites like this get very desperate to put some articles up, such as the top 10 rider in every class, and even the top 10 babes which is pointless really and nothing to do with racing

What a cracking couple of seasons we''ve had with the closeness of the Moto GP calendar''s
racing!Rossi,the undoubted Master in his "will he, won''t he" battle with just about all
and sundry including everyone who could hold the proverbial "candle" to him and several more of those that could''nt!More please,this is Motorcycle Racing at its very best,the way it should be!
