I agree with most on here that say this could have been done better ... but it was a break from the crap that I hate here in Ohio in February. Wish they would have taken about 4 - 6 weeks to make the trip and see more scenery. I have no problem with the infomercial type format either ... it is their job to sell bikes.

The "fetal crouch" she used is actually very effective and comfortable for those of you who have never ridden a sport bike. Don't knock it. Changing your position on your bike can add miles to your day, and I am assuming that because she is a professional stunter on sport bikes (not movie stunts) she probably hasn't done much long distance riding.
I've crouched on my Road Glide with my feet up on the passenger floorboards plenty of times, just to stretch out the back. I've also laid flat on the tank with my legs straight out back going through a miserable freezing downpour in a Washington Pass. It works.

From a Marketing Standpoint:
1. I did enjoy seeing the different touring models in action.
2. The fast pace allowed them to show alot in 1 hour.
3. budzilla is spot on.
4. Overall it was OK.
5. The next day, my wife, who has always been a passenger, asked me if I thought she could ride on her own.
6. Marketing...an interesting concept, maybe they weren't really looking to impress the tried and true. bcb

The show was as painful as trying to get through an issue of HOG Tales, in which the focus of the magazine is to make you think the only people having fun, and or enjoying themselves on two wheels can only be obtained thru membership and a leather vest with a HOG patch.
