If you want your product tested in an extreme environment, send it to us Detroit bikers. I take short winter rides when it's clear and cold and geta good amount of road salt and grime. It's easy to wash off but I have always wanted a protective film for the paint. I'm a program manager (PM)so I can author you a good, and bad, user feedback. PMs rely on user feedback to verify a product meets user requirements. If you don't want us to test one then I recommend formatting a standardized feedback format. Don't rely on the tester to come up with something, develop something that's measurable by the user and provides direct feedback on product attributes. Good luck.

Correction. After reading your inital post, if you prefer bay area testers then your not doing your product test any good. It will appear that you isolatedtestconditions to produce your desired outcome. Results will indicate that your product works good for San Francisco but not places like Detroit, New York, florida, etc. You should look at sending test samples throughout the US to competent users who are not looking for a freebie but will give you honest feedback.

Lastly, after complicating the $hit out of my post, if you need some advice on running a user evaluation then PM me and I can walk you through it or point you to some reference material. good luck

If you want a tester in Missouri, I will do it for you. I ride in all kinds of weather and on gravel to interstate roads. Let me know...

I am in Virginia and am picking up my 08 Road glide next week this would be the perfect scenario starting with a new bike withno previous problems under your protective film, thus guaranteeing a fair and complete view of your product's ability from day one.It would be a good selling point for dealer installs also.

Question... Say you put it on and don't like it, I assume it sticks on with some kind of adhesive on the film and how well does it unstick if you want it off.

Maybe before you go jumping all over the guy for making a decent offer you should find out more about what his plan is. Maybe he wants to start local and deal with people face to face before going any further with more testing. Maybe he really knows what he is doing. Maybe he didn't bother to post a 30,000 word essay detailing what he has done to this point in time. Just sayin'

I would love to try iton my motorcycle. I have a 07 Ultra. I have paint protection film on my Porsche and my Escalade. The stuff works great! I was wondering if anyone made it for bikes.

I am in Louisville and be happy to test it for you.

Thanks,

Mike
