[moT]

Any Photos of a black vfr400? or even photos of it crashing comeing on to the back straight... lol

[Waylander]

Here's another version without the music...appears some didn't appreciate it :eek:


Some people have no taste.

[jrandom]

Some people have no taste.

I knew a girl like that once.

I figured it was because she bathed regularly and kept herself well hydrated.

[kiwifruit]

I knew a girl like that once.

Ya don't want to air the crashes do ya?Couldn't see that as being of any useful thing to advertise:no:

[jrandom]

C'mon, man, spill. What angle are you really going to take on the trackday thing?


Ya don't want to air the crashes do ya?

Of course he does; it's TV innit? Motorcycle crashes are pure ratings gold. I guarantee that Aprilia guy makes it into the promo segments for the episode.

[Usarka]

If the news is any guide, the WSBK coverage on the sports news last night was all crashes and no actual substance about the racing......


C'mon, man, spill. What angle are you really going to take on the trackday thing?
Yeah come on bro.....

Yeh but come on...they were pretty spectacular crashes though! I think its normal to air such content...it goes back to the days of gladiators being sent to fight to the death....blood and guts is what people want to see...and what us riders want to beat.

I think what they are really asking is, are you actually going to have new about a fantastic fun sport being done in a safe and legal matter or just more propaganda machine showing how dangerous bikes and bikers are.

[Biggles08]

I think what they are really asking is, are you actually going to have new about a fantastic fun sport being done in a safe and legal matter or just more propaganda machine showing how dangerous bikes and bikers are.

Probably they will show both....cause yes it is super fun and considering the alternative a lot safer than on the road, but really....screaming around the track pushing both yourself and your machine to the edge IS dangerous...or more dangerous than a lot of other sports... and you know what....thats some of the attraction is it not??

I don't think saying that its propaganda is correct - if they only decide to show the crashes and focus on the dangers...I would say advertising that speed kills is more so propaganda....no actually...lies. Riding fast around a track (or in my case medium pace :crybaby:) is fun and risky - and I love it :-)...so, go ahead mr 60min, show the crashes, tell the public how dangerous bikes are and maybe, just maybe somewhere in there they will see all of our smiles after coming in from a session and people will work it out for themselves.

PS...I'm dangerous too :banana:

The propaganda machine is just something I've been thinking about as I watch the news and other things on tv and in the papers in relation to things going on in the biking community. Nothing really factual behind it but sort of my own conspiracy theory.

But not to take this thread too far off topic from the great day had by those involved (with a few spills) Do you really believe any new agency in the world would report anything good about this except as a little footnote at the end that all the riders that crashed came out with only minor injuries?

I wouldn't hold my breath.

[Shaun]

I DO NOY KNOW TV3 AND MARK'S PLANS BUT

I am guessing, since this man is a BIKER himself:sunny: The content will be good:yes:

He interviewed me, and from the questions that were asked of me ( Dam, I hope I did not offend anyone with my awnsers) I am gathering the concept of the programme, is how to make biking safer in generall:yes::yes:

ie, Go hard on the race track, and ride safe on the road

Maybe the crash footage he has asked for, is a way to PROVE that crashing at a race track, instead of on the road, proves how safe the track day scene can be??

[Shaun]

PS PLEASE CREW


Let,s give this TV 3 60 minutes thing a bit of time to see what comes from it, before we all get on here, and bash the shite out of them, before they have even done anything, apart from coming to the event:done:

Yup Shaun's right :eek:, Mr 60 min's is one of us, he loves riding, so why would he give it a bad wrap?

[Shaun]

HELP, 'surfachick' I THINK? is that who it was doing the video work for us the other day? Sorry honey, forgot your name like a moron I can be

[moT]

who cares...

[Goblin]

Early in the day I could hear the camera guy on the back of some bike YAAHOOOOing around turn 7. Sounded like he really enjoyed the day. :cool:

[Shaun]

who cares...



About what mate?

[Meekey_Mouse]

Does any one know what day and time the 60 min thing will be on?

[surfchick]

HELP, 'surfachick' I THINK? is that who it was doing the video work for us the other day? Sorry honey, forgot your name like a moron I can be

Yup surfchick :) I'll clear up the confusion re. all the vid stuff that was going on

I was doing my own wee on-board project for an art thing
AND
Mark from 60mins is putting together a story on riding & trackdays for TV

but we're working on seperate things - from chatting to Mark from 60mins he's mad about bikes, owns 3, so hopefully he can draw out some good stuff from the day -it was primo as... I had the best ever time shooting video and riding some too. We shot 4 cams in one session & I've just been looking at the footage and it's mad mad mad RAAAAAD. when I get smaller compressed versions I'll post a few clips up on you tube
