**Ms Piggy** · 2nd September 2004, 19:32

Actually my email just got bounced back. :spudwhat: Any ideas? It was the info one from their site.

**riffer** · 2nd September 2004, 19:47

I emailed Andrea Bell at Prime within minutes of finding out and got a nice email back from her.

I guess she had a pretty good day today with all the nice emails she got.

Yippee. I couldn't really hassle them for reporting that not only did they have 125s and 250s but the 500s TOO!

I guess its been so long since its been on telly live to air they can be forgiven.

Good on ya Prime!

**gav** · 2nd September 2004, 20:25

Hmmm, a big thanks to Yamaha as well, guess they must be banking on Rossi to do the business? Of course everyone will say, jeez that Rossi must be good if he can win on a bloody Yamaha (or maybe not....)

Andrea Bell,s email is ABell@primetv.co.nz

Yep, the more appreciation shown, the more we are likely to get decent motorcycle sport coverage.

You can get it on the Sky Digital or UHF package, or like me, with Saturn's package.

You can also get it via boggo-UHF telly -

here's the instructions on how to tune in straight from their web site.

Also worth a mention is Jesse James' Monster Garage on Friday at 7.30pm and Jeremy (love him or hate him) Clarkson and Top Gear on Sundays at 7.30pm.

They also have a bit of interesting motorsports action on Saturday afternoons.
