You really shouldn't have bothered with this approval

I really wonder why this show is actually called what it is. One of the worst shows on television, right now, according to me. But, then I guess there is a reason why it is so popular that it is in it's 6th season!
Still puzzled? You could be enlightened by one automotive magazine who has decided to take the plunge and sponsor the show. They believe its going to boost the customer base of their auto show on TV and their magazine. I seriously don't have a clue as to why a person who watches the show for all the drama in it would become familiar with the magazine and go out to the newsstand and buy the mag. Wake up you people with huge advertising budgets! Learn from Google. There's something called 'Targeted Advertising'.

May I ask you how?

People are finding it tough to describe what 'biking' is with so many 'genres' of motorcyclists. Bloggers, journalists, our good ol' trip loggers, find it hard to put down in words what biking is all about. You Sir, put down a concrete statement that it popularized biking!

The way I see it, more people were acquainted with the Karizma. That is all. I don't believe it promoted touring, stunting or like everybody here has stressed, importance of proper riding gear.
