A TV Bike Show

So I'd get to do a wheelie on TV?

Any TV show about street motorcycles will focus on Harley Davidson.

That would be a yes...lol

It would cover all the small events that don't get TV time, Gladstone hill climb, the rapa sprints? you know just to help the funding of the events.

Yeah, but you probably don't have that many ideas do you.....

Bike shows would focus on them cause they are twice the price of a fucken mint jappa.

But not this one, the sports bike market is building up to explode, and a show would be a great idea to help get the bike seen out there, giving advice on safe riding etc gear blah blah

**Nicksta** · 15th May 2006, 09:42

I think its a good idea....
probably hard to get in motion tho...
yell if you need me to host a "from the pillion seat" segment for ya...

**Nicksta** · 15th May 2006, 09:44

oh... and you could do segments with overseas bike shows like the one i'll be at in a few weeks in the states.... bike week is so much fun....

Given the number of bikes on the road currently and the number of bikes that will be purchased (no doubt due to fuel prices) I think this is a bloody good idea. You only have to look at the number of diffent types of bikes out there to see this programme will appeal to a wide demographic. There's no reason why it cannot be based around a Top Gear type format with a presenter or two who aren't between 16 and 21. Big Dave would be a perfect producer (not volunteering anyone) and Sarge could do voice overs for it (He does them already).
Adventure riding, trials, quads, scooters, tourers, sports... there is just so much programme content available. Not to mention bike reviews - "GN250, They're everywhere". A season of 10 half hour or hour long shows on a Sunday arvo would be quite good.

Is it? I'm not so sure. In fact the bike market that is exploding in NZ is the scooter market. With midline all rounders like the EL6N coming on strong.And big cruisers and Harleys doing well. Pure sportsbikes seem to me to be holding their own, but no more .Maybe if you include Buells as sportsbikes, but not otherwise.

Oh, and the minichoppers and such like. In the eyes of the public they're all motorcycles.

And the biggest single bike market by far in NZ is the off road one.

Hi Mum,
