Both are streaming. Do you have a netflix account? If so, there's a play button if it's available streaming.

Watched both last night.

The Troy Bayliss one was pretty cool. I really liked it but it would have been nice to have had the story go beyond his MotoGP career, that's where things really took off. Overall I give it a thumbs up.

The Nicky flick was pretty good too. Matt LeBlanc's a pretty decent rider.

Meh...Torque didn't bother me so much. The director came out and stated that he intentionally took it over the top and wasn't going for realism in any way shape or form. To me that kind of gets him a pass on it. Movie still sucked, but there have been worse....Biker Boyz.

But linking to an HD documentary on a metric site. Bannable offense for sure. It's gotta be in the rules somewhere.

Gawd, just finished watching this and 24 minutes of listening to Nicky talk...my ears are bleeding!

Good show otherwise. Finished Troy's Story yesterday too and that was very good though the audio quality suuuuucked.

Yeah... He can be tough to listen to.

The vid quality of both was't too good either. They made those vid's pre HD so they're going to come across crappy.


Hey... I was in Irving Mon and Today. 1st time I've been there. Really nice towns around there.

Yea, I had the volume all the way up on my computer and speaker bar just to be able to hear the Bayliss video. I tell you what sucked...they'd go to where he's sitting in some echo chamber trying to talk and the volume goes down and clarity goes to hell, so I'm leaning in trying to hear what Troy has to say...BADONG! Friggin email comes in with the audio alert that goes with it. AaAAAaaaaauuuughhh!
