Still is a bit
Put this show on scheduled recording and is getting sick of the 10000's of repeats clogging my disk
Over a week it would be more than sufficient to have this show on once or max twice and offer a web streem option for the once missed the show - instead it runs for a month with god knows how many repeates - that along turns me off - often when I check the weeks recording I find 5 or more recording from the same blimming show, resulting in repeated deletes (and sometime I end up deleting the new episode) - don;t like this kind of setup
The show is, well, let me put this gently - somewhat lame and mainstream - nothing radical in terms of chasing up new exiting builds - just a bunch of guyes being paid going to various bike expose, events promoting stock HD's witg the odd comment on a vintage bike (not providing anything but "looks" and "back in the days" comments)
- Most of the show seem to be based on concervative "mum & dad" sunday trips *with the odd exception of covering salt lake races - not really exiting stuff in my mind
- In short, too mainstream for my liking - The show ought to concentrate more on radical (oz and global) one off builds - don't have to be just HD's - Garage rats is what put harley on the map to begin with and this is what will move the technology forward - instead the show centers around stock bikes from large vendors with little or zero info on what might come out from new innovaive garage rats.
I know there's a loooooot a guys working on new inovative stuff in their garage, hidden away from recognition and media *HD even try to locate these chaps in the hope they can steele ideas make them "theirs" on "new" stock HD's - The guys hiding in their garages is what the HD show ought to look more into - it would created and expand other peoples ideas and new things would come from than again.
The mum & dad sunday trips gets a bit boring after a while (even though I like the episode covering the Tassy ride - apart from a stunning surrounding the bike still came across as 100% boring
I started to watch it, but its just too lightweight and basically a giant infomercial!
Its a shame, as it had such great potential!
Well it is called 'HD TV'. The name gives it away - Harley Davidson Television. It is a show to advertise their bikes with a bit of padding (the show, not the bikes). What did you expect to see? .
I like the show but agree with some of the sentiment on the Forum that perhaps it is time to do a few things differently.
How about stop trying to flog the Rushmore's or Street model's every five minutes and talk about the rest of the HD range? It is like they don't exist. And how about looking a bit more at what people are putting on their bikes, even if it isn't SE stuff? You need a Harley in the first place anyways. Gear reviews would be great or talk to riders at the various shops about what they wear and/or put on their bikes and why.
It must be said, and I'm not meaning to disrespect Dundo, but Paul is the main talent of the show. Smart bloke. I think the chicks dig him too.
And please, lay off so many stories about cars. Every now and then is ok but...
How awesome is Cindy's (from Gasoline Alley) bike? The Apes are a bit wild for me, though.
I enjoy HDTV. But something new would be good along with less repeats. I ride a Tourer and will update soon so I like all the Rushmore promotions but would still like to see the whole Harley range. The new 500 also gets a fair old push. Not fussed on the custom scene as there has been plenty of yank shows on theat but upgrades and everyday mods would be interesting to see.
Unforntuanatly someone has to pay for these shows so the few dealers and promotions allow for this show to exist. Good work HDTV and great to have an Aussie show to watch.
