A TV Bike Show

[Insanity_rules]

I've tried to get one produced by Greenstone productions for the past year .. apparently, the NZ motorcycle community is too small to have a show for that audience..

And there's a large audience to watch performance car tv?????? Sorry being facetious again.

Jeez TV exec's must live in a constant state of anal cranium insertion. Sarge you must have to shout loud for them to hear your ideas with their heads that far up their asses.

I vote for a 'pimp my biker' sigment, where you have singles that whore themselves on national tv. and then at the end of the series, the people that 'hook-up' go into an island or summin for reality tv 'jizzle'.

whos gonna talk all bleck tho?

could always start off with a dvd, and gauge interest from there. - a best of motocycling type. stunts, road riding, racing, hoo-ha'ing

TV show based around motorcycles would have to be like a Motorcycle magazine say each week you would have a bike test, there are a lot of bikes so you could have 2 test a week say a road bike and MX or trail, product reviews, cover local events, road/track/dirt,Helpful tips on riding etc. would be a great idea. put my name forward as a tester.

The content could be prepared with both a biker and non-biker audience in mind. Don't forget that lots of non-bikers watch and enjoy MotoGP and SBK. Promoting motorcycling is about selling the sizzle, not (just) the sausage.

For example: "being safe on the roads" could help make cagers more aware of bikers, as well as increasing biker awareness; "roads fondly travelled" is as much about the experience as the mode of travel; bike reviews help sell bikes and get more people on and enjoying them; yada yada yada.

The Burt Monro movie did a lot to make motorcycling "respectable" in NZ and elsewhere, we should be able to pick that up and carry on the interest in bikes.
I have not heard of one person who didn't take old Bert into their hearts with pride after watching that movie.
So many people wanted to identify with him, I found it quite amazing, you could try to pick up from where Donaldson (There's an idea, Donaldson) left off.

The TV heads would insist the show had a "professional presenter" such as Phil Dark - Mr "This jet engine has 23,000 foot/pounds of thrust"
