Is there a fair bit of cost involved? If you want to do bike reviews I'm sure you'll be able to find willing people on here. Heck, im sure they'll even abuse their own bikes for you if you ask nicely

Yeah they do cost a bit to produce. The advantage is that we end up with a good quality product, editing, camera rental, locations etc, etc all cost money and it adds up. We are pretty good at doing everything on a shoestring but the more excitement we want the more it costs...

Explosions are expensive, as are Western Australian desert crossings on sports bikes as are even non ridiculous but interesting stories...

But as is always the case the more we do the more likely businesses are to get involved. As with all things it is a slow progression but we are getting there.

Verrry nice short.
Although some of your statistics are pushing it a little bit...
$360 per year running costs for a scooter? That's far too cheap.
A little bit too optimistic about the whole riding a scooter thing I thought... as much as I'd like to see more people do it.

It's interesting you've made the video more international, but can you at least write "Litres" instead of "Liters"?

haha, yeah well the bulk of our traffic comes from the US so you will see quite a bit of their odd spelling... it irks me too but you will quite often find different variations of spelling through the site... Colour/color etc

Obviously we try to give a balanced viewpoint on the pro's and cons of both forms of transport, however we are in the two wheel market so always a bit more fair in that direction. Those figures are pretty much right on the money for the yearly costs for a moped, traveling average sorts of kms.

glad you liked it though
