Finally, a reality show I'd watch. Motorbikes and rock & roll, baby. Warning: youtube link, contains references to strippers. Full disclosure: two of these guys are good friends, but I do have independent confirmation of its ossemness.
Impressive production values. They're pitching this for tv?
Even though I'm pretty cynical about "reality tv" and don't consider myself a consumer of such drek, I realized the other day that I actually watch a lot of it. My "sit down and watch whatever's on" time (as opposed to the couple of series I tivo and sports events) is pretty much 90% either home design, fitness, or "green" shows. They are not the contestants-battling-for-a-prize type of reality show, but do I guess fall into reality tv genre. Dunno why that realization took so long to take in.
Nice description, annaramma. Yeah, they're shopping it around and apparently have some promising interest. The main guy films ads for a living, so it looks like he knew who to get to shoot & edit it. My big disappointment is that Mike told me their route took them through Alabama so hopefully we could have a flying visit, and nope--they're skirting the state like it was on fire. Still, rock & roll, hoochie coo. It should be a fun show.
