A few bike reviews:

[Big Dave]

Been busy - New format mock up.
http://www.davidcohen.co.nz

One day in the not too distant future magazine e-pages will do that sort of thing. (with better voiceovers.)

[HenryDorsetCase]

yeah, something about that accent, huh?:done:

Seriously, I was just looking at tardme after re-reading Peter Egan's test of the Scrambler (last year Cycle World) and trying to work out where the $15k would come from, then to read (?if thats the right word... see, maybe) your piece on that Wellington ride on a Scrambler...... dang, you pressed my buttons.

Also, it would be great to have a bike that you could go, Ooooh I wonder whats down that dirt road? and just go have a look... not something I would do on my road bike (well maybe the CB400).

Thanks for the heads up....

I like the look of it. What sort of price would you need to charge "readers" too make it viable or would it be advert. funded?

[BarryG]

I get an e-magazine once a month, called 'Winding Roads', and it's laid out just like a paper mag, so it can be done. OK, it's a car mag, but the format works.
Yours is taking a long time to load, Dave, maybe my connection is full this morning and I have to wait my turn.
I'm 'over 'ome' next month for a couple of weeks, and hope to take a drive (errk, no bike :angry: ) on some of your routes.
Cheers
Barry

Very nice, Mr Big Dave sir!

[avgas]

hehe demerit point dave.....classic.
You didnt you to work for the home shopping network did you :)

[Big Dave]

You didnt work for the home shopping network did you

No, but thats exactly the point!

We can do home shopping on anyone's web site now. If any of you see a potential customer that could do with some of that stuff - let me know.

I see some future in stuff like this:
http://www.motomail.co.nz/motomovies/movie1.html
presentation, click to buy.

But it doesn't fit with my existing customers, but would work for any product.

[SPman]

Aaaaaaaaargh!

You Bastard!

Why! why why did I leave the blessed isles!!!
(Well , for a very good reason, actually, but!)

Well done that man.

You look at most of the mellons in that photo and there's not a lot of spring chickens. Col and some of the girls are the only young'uns.

I wonder why that is?

ADV riding is a lot harder than hump-back-squiding. Older guys bored with that?

[mstriumph]

:gob: that's GREAT!

thanks BD :first:

[R6_kid]

"an all I could eat roast" - I bet that would have been good value for money for a guy like you Dave :yes:

Well done old fella, looks really swish, i actually enjoyed checking out the whole lot. Didnt watch all the videos, but the idea and presentation sets it apart really well.

How much more of this can we look forward to in the future? If possible could you send me a PM to tell me what programs you used etc to achieve the end product?

[WickedOne]

Good on ya Dave, looks great.

It's called a cow.

Don't need to PM it .

Software:
Adobe creative suite 2 - Photoshop, Image Ready (check what that does with 'slices' - thats the trick for 'floating' the movie on the pic - you can work it out from that - 'Help' is your friend.) and dreameaver for the html.

The Videos were captured, edited, stills animated and scored on Apple iLife software and Garageband. then uploaded to You Tube

[imdying]

Been busy - New format mock up.The links aren't immediately obvious, but apart from that I'm loving it :yes:

[SPman]

Any way of saving those clips of yousetube?

Don't want to have to continually use data allowances as I repeatedly watch those clips.

[Big Dave]

don't think so - and I've trashed the originals.
