Bike TV programs
 

I'm going to be producing some bike related TV stuff, in everyone’s opinion what would make a good program. I'm thinking: a good riding tutorial including bike setup, new & second hand bikes review, behind the scenes race stuff/in the pits…
These programs need to have longevity so no race results or weekly news stuff which will quickly date.

Any thoughts?

A bit of historical/evolution of bike models, how they have improved and evolved. Eg Monster, GSXR, Fireblade.

How they handle/power difference etc!

Interesting!

Decent presenters who do not present the program as if we are 5 year olds.
Not too much of the hoodlum element.

I know what you mean, I'm going to be working with magazine test riders. Just credable guys who know their stuff...
Very little hoodlum stuff!

How about a look at some classic bikes and or classic racing aswell. There's no shortage of people who own modern bikes but have old iron as well. There has been some real rubbish done in the past, did anyone ever watch that bike based quiz show on M&M? Also some fairly good stuff , always enjoyed that program that followed club racers on M&M. and the one with John Cantrel , sorry i can't remember the program names

"Scratching" was excellent.
A lesson in safe "progressive" road riding is a good bet too ;)

Cheers paul.

Scratchig was a good program. I'm thinking of some good road/track riding tutorials...

Sounds spot on, I'd be very interested to see it as I've always been keen on getting to be a better rider :)

So a guide to how to get kicked out Brands Hatch isn't on the cards then :p :D

More ideas!
 

The best routes to ride Nationwide/Worldwide. Biker friendly Cafes/Clubs and meeting places.

Regular riders with their bikes and habits!

What about some stuff on touring /overseas trips? I used to like "Motorcycle Voyager" magazine (till it went kaput). I don't mean "Long Way Round" style stuff, more basic than that.

How about covering a trip to Germany . Maybe worth contacting Mav.

0bviously you're going to need me as your guest presenter............No Limits trackday instructor, (to the stars), DSA approved CBT instructor (to the muppets), accredited coach, London commuter, experienced race winner and published author....and I could sing the theme tune - ''If you want to change the situation, right people right time just wrong location, I've got a good idea, just you keep me near, I'll be so good for your ......motorcycle training instructing coaching commuting writing programme....I'll be so go-od for you'' You have to be a Little Britain fan to get that one

A series on set up ... suspension, brakes, riding position, tyres, engine / exhaust.

Don't just show what happens when you tweak a standard bike and get it right, show what happens when you make a tweak and F*** it up ... how do you get it right after that.

WJB,

Your too small!
