NZ Roadbike

**Maha** · 11th April 2008, 15:49

Something I have ben playing around with for a while now is the fact that there should be a Televison Programme dedicated exclusively to Roadbikes.
NZ ROADBIKE is the name of this 'yet to be' televised show.
I have people in mind (in mind is where all this at right now) to be apart of this.
There are enough shows about cars, and the odd bike thrown in somewhere but not a complete show.
The concept?.... A show about Motorbike's (sports/cruiser etc no off road)
I have in mind....Someone to front the show
I have in mind....A track where tests will be carried out
I have in mind....Two test riders
I have in mind....A hand full of knowledgeable people to offer their advice on all aspects of any bike (on camera)
I have a contact within the Television Industry
I would like to be a show about Purchasing (track testing comparative bikes).....'bang for buck'
A segment on 250's....new and older, best buy for a begginer. The good the Bad and the Ugly.
A segment on Bike Maintainance
A segment of veiwers emails..questions to be answered.
A segment on Bike gear.
Like I said at the beginning, this is all 'in mind' right now but im about to set the wheels in motion. I have alot to think about and what I have written about is a very broad overview of things, but you get the picture right?

It would be compulsory viewing in my house as long as coro isn't on at the same time.

Move over Jeremy Clarkson...........

**fergie** · 11th April 2008, 15:58

im available to front the show, for my usual fee.

Oh I like!!!!

I would definitely keep watching something like that...Heck, there is never enough good bike related things on TV...although it may be a good thing, otherwise, we'd never go riding.

You going to allow Jap, Italian and American road bikes too, else it's going to be a very short show.

Senario for a show....eg
Two 600's to track test, rider is interviewed and goes through his thoughts of each bike.
A technical segment on suspension/tyres/brakes etc
A bit of time spent of gear...helmets/leather (one piece/two piece) gloves/boots....how much you can set yourself up etc
A cruiser segment....along the same lines as the sport bike segment but perhaps just one cruiser.
And of cause...answer questions
