San Francisco riders (other places too)?

Post by Bumblebeeman1150 »

If it's not inappropriate to post this request here, I'm keen to hear from any Bay area riders who might be able to give me some local advice about filming a bike journey in your part of the world.

This is a genuine television project that should take mainstream motorcycling into a whole lot of homes around the world.

Anyone around Bergen, Norway; Big Island, Hawaii; or Hinckley, Midlands, UK would be kinda handy too! Or Capetown, South Africa and Vancouver, BC while I think of it.

Please contact me at pbramwell (at) slipstream-tv.com if you can help.

Cheers all; God, I miss my yellowjacket 1150R! But sacrifices to make TV programs sometimes have to be made. :?

Thanks for the tips. Roads I got... hundreds of 'em, all around the world, and if we did this for 50 years I couldn't cover them all. But we'll do as many as we can!

What we need now are local eyes and experiences to help develop shooting schedules. I don't expect people to be out of pocket to do this, but it's invaluable to have the benefit of talking to someone who knows the places that we've picked so that we get the best locations, the best corners, the best views etc.

If any of you can help with any of the other locations I mentioned in the first post, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers

There are some real people in the Bay Area, but not to many of them. North of there would be better country for a ride, and you would not have to turn left so often.

i ride in Sonoma, Napa, Marin and Mendocino Counties, just north of San Francisco. great country and coastal roads that seem to go on forever.
Autumn is really nice when the vineyards change color. feel free to contact me.

I agree. A wonderful area to ride in. I wish I could afford to live there! Coming from LA, and living in Wa. since 1973 my way of living has changed, and California is bueatiful but not a place to move to. Oh well I will just have to suffer with the hum drum scenery around Mt Ranier and the cascades.
