Speed TV impressions

[Pelican_Racing]

It definitely came across as a BRP commercial and I understand why everyone wishes they went more into the specifications and features of the Spyder.

I'm just glad we got our 15 seconds of fame. I was on location for nearly 4 hours so they did tape a bunch of film to make this short program.

Hardly a road test.

I thought the program was pretty short on technical stuff. Maybe they feel the target market isn't interested in that stuff. If you didn't listen real carefully you'd think that all Spyders were SE's.

It did make me want to go ride the Pacific Coast Highway however. That looked really nice!

I'm wondering whether this is the typical format for the 'Test Ride' show... bring a few 'experts' together, show a bit of video with them playing with the vehicle du jour, some pretty scenery, poor humor, throw in a few sound bites and product placement pitches and voila, show's over... that's what I got out of this one.

If this IS typical for the show, I won't be watching the TV listings for it again. Was nice to see the Spyders.

Pretty fluffy. More of the culture, the ryde, rather than the machine. In the end, if I was a potential customer, it would arouse my curiosity. As a ryder ... :gaah:

Was looking for more of an objective assessment...

Wish they would have talked more about your machine. It was the highlight of the show for us. Neat to see it all done and on the road.:2thumbs:

:agree: That could be another show in itself :doorag:

Wow, thanks so much! I thought it was only a highlight for me and my few friends.

Thanks Lamonster! I'm going to call the Producer and tell him that. I don't think I have the marketing... ahem, "television" budget that BRP has though.

I didn,t like the windshields. With my CalSci my eyes are about 1-2 inches above the windshield so I,m only looking through my helmet shield. Those windshields were over the top of their heads.:yikes:
Otherwise it was a BRP treasure?:roflblack:

Ha-Humbug, I thougt it was going to show shomething that we haven't seen nor experienced...

Also did you notice that a lot of dble yellow lines were crossed.

I think it's BAH Humbug Forrest, but it sounds like you summed it up pretty well. I didn't see it but I guess I didn't miss much (or anything at all).

Watching Doc and "the person I no longer mention" PERFOMANCE TEST their Spyders might have been a good addition to this production.
