Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Kev M on July 13, 2013, 09:38:46 AM Pretty fake drama, but I can't help but watch anything with motorcycles.
Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Ducatamount on July 13, 2013, 02:18:33 PM Me too :-[ (he says, feeling dirty and cheap)
Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Uncle Mofo on July 13, 2013, 07:40:46 PM Scripted drama, tight deadlines, no profits.
But the bikes are cool [popcorn] Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Kev M on July 13, 2013, 08:01:51 PM I love the no profit thing...I'm local, I'l have to bring them a bike and see if they'll do that for me too. :D
Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Uncle Mofo on July 13, 2013, 08:18:38 PM Let me know!
I wonder if they take philly cheese steaks in lieu of payments Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: brad black on July 14, 2013, 02:41:08 PM I watched the shorts. that's just unwatchable. does that shop really exist?
5 guys putting a front end back in? no wonder people think we're morons. Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: lazylightnin717 on July 14, 2013, 03:51:05 PM That chap in the blue...
I remember seeing him somewhere. Found the video Handmade Portraits: Liberty Vintage Motorcycles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdNEJAFfFLA#) Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: justinrhenry on July 14, 2013, 04:00:28 PM I think that guy is dramatic by himself. I'm not so sure it's scripted. Anyway, I've set the dvr to record it.

Anyway, I've set the dvr to record it. yeah, he's a fruit loop of the exact flavour desired by reality tv producers. unstable, exaggerating, demanding, delusional, dramatic, etc. Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Fergus on July 14, 2013, 06:20:38 PM I'm watching. Looks like there's some added drama, but the personalities seem real.
yeah, he's a fruit loop of the exact flavour desired by reality tv producers. unstable, exaggerating, demanding, delusional, dramatic, etc. I work with a couple of SW engineers like that. We should do a reality show! Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: justinrhenry on July 20, 2013, 10:35:46 AM I've watched all three episodes and I like it, but I've taken bikes to crusty guys that hold onto them for 6 months without working on them before and it sucks if you're the customer.
Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: Skybarney on July 20, 2013, 10:52:13 AM Make as much fun of the guy as ya want. Truth is he is getting a big paycheck and he may be just savvy enough to know what reality TV producers like.
I once called Ripleys Believe it or Not and got a paying gig a day later. It is all about knowing your market and "fruitloop" is getting paid! Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: brad black on July 20, 2013, 02:21:23 PM oh absolutely, he's possibly a producer himself.
I just can't watch that kind of dramatic crap tho, as i'm sure builders can't watch the home reno reality shows as you know it's all rubbish. it's a pity that this sort of stuff has a market, but a show with the same people and real info without the dramatic crap doesn't. all reality tv centres on conflict more than anything else. just change the environment, but it's all based on making people clash. Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: SpikeC on July 20, 2013, 02:27:11 PM Except for Wheeler Dealers, also on Velocity. It is a breath of fresh air, real cars being refurb end realistically. Now if they would only do that formula with motorcycles!
Title: Re: Philly Throttle Post by: memper on July 20, 2013, 03:32:39 PM I'm not a cable subscriber, usually finding what I want online. But not this show...what gives?
I've only found ep1 |
