new tv project

OK, well I haven't been here for a while, as I've been off getting
other things together. But I thought I'd show a total lack of class by
dropping in to spam my new endeavour.

It's a TV show that is bike-related, and stars Boris from AMCN, plus
some others. The first issue of Bike Me! is scheduled for Xmas, and the
supporting website is up and running at http://www.bikeme.tv . We'll be
down at PI with a camera crew, and if I run into Clem I'll stick a
camera in his face.

Cheers Manning

 

Brave move Manning!
Best wishes for the success of the project though.
I read Boris's column where you'd challenged him to an Eastern Creek ride
day and I felt all "my mate's famous...." (until I remembered that it
should've been "the feller I had a Usenet fight with is famous....")
I hope I DO catch up with you at the GP but maybe my made-for-widescreen
head would be better left off-camera!

 

At least it's just his face. Much better than THAT Santa photo...

Ah, yes, the Usenet fight of our early days. There is actually a small,
indirect tribute to the great Knobdoodle at the website - if you go to
the Forum Rules
(http://www.bikeme.tv/TalkShite/ForumRules/tabid/76/Default.aspx) there
is a small passage that reads "I love a good flame war, I hate a crap
one" which is (at least according to my memory) a direct quote from
something you once wrote.

Look out for me at the GP - we'll be wandering round in a huge herd and
have plans of filming the debauchery at the campground. I'll be wearing
a yellow safety vest with my name on it (in case I get lost and need to
be returned to my parents). I've told Boris about you and I'm sure the
two of you would either hit it off immediately or rapidly wind up
requiring police intervention.

Fear not about the camera, we are shooting in 16:9 and have a fisheye
lens if needs be.

All the best
Manning

 

Oh, and I was checking through some old posts, and found the thread
where Intact Kneeslider declared the start of Harsh Week back on June
24th, 2003.

Did Harsh Week ever finally end? Or are we into the fourth year of
it...

Manning

 

No it ended ..... ****!

 

Oh gosh, Clem, you ol' sweet-talker, you.....

It is still running as a background filter, but we've just started
deprecation month.

from this site:

Welcome to Bike Me! - the website the motorcycle world has been waiting for.



it must be worthwhile, because we waited.

 

talking of sweet talkers betty, they are looking for a female presenter:

This role involves being a core part of the Bike Me! creative team. You
will be the fifth member of the core Bike Me! on-screen presence, and
will be an integral part of all aspects of the Bike Me! DVDzine.

Riding: You must be able to ride competently, and be willing to test new
bikes, ride on a race-track, ride a dirt bike, go drag-racing and
anything else we come up with. You should be physically able to handle a
bike with an 82 cm seat height (eg. Yamaha R1). While you must be
willing to face any challenge the boys are going to face, you do not
have to ride like Chad Reed or Casey Stoner (we certainly can't).

Personality: Bike Me! is a character driven show, and there is
considerable banter, humour and dry wit. You need to be able to banter
with the boys, yet put them in their place when it is warranted. We seek
a smart and articulate girl with humour and a sharp wit, combined with
an audience-friendly nature.

Appearance: You should be physically attractive - we seek someone who is
"happy to hang with the boys", despite the fact that she is clearly "out
of their league". You should have a clear and strong speaking voice.
While we have no ethnic preference, we require someone who is
exceptionally familiar with Australian customs, behaviours, popular
culture and colloquialisms, as this is inherent to the format of the show.

Age: We have no preference, but would be more inclined towards a
candidate over the age of 25.

Other: You must possess your own motorcycle.



that is soo you!

 

That sounds like an insult Betty. "Out of their league" indeed!

No scrubbers please, and you've got to have big tits, (obviously).

I really don't think that's gonna do it John Doe.

Theo

 

i'd pay money to watch betty fixing the gpx with 4 guys standing around
her telling her how easy it is...

 

I think we should get Great Aunt Samantha onto them.

She's done radio, lectures military types often, and can inoculate a
bike seat with all sorts of nasty biological weaponry if they get out of
line.

Rob.

 

? Defecation month....

Seconded!

Every time you have dinner with them the conversation turns to shit.
