Hello to all you loyal Motorcycle Experience Viewers and Yamaha Bike
Blog readers! If you haven’t already heard or are wondering what Motorcycle
Experience - Scooter Sense segment host Bryan Hudgin’s Twitter feed
has been referring to lately, we’re just about to shoot the second
season of “Scooter Sense” for the next season of TSN’s “A Motorcycle
Experience”. The concept this time around? The aptly titled, “Scooter
Sense Almost World Tour: Big City Lights and Camp Fire Nights”. Bryan
will be going on a good old fashioned road trip with his trusty Yamaha
BWs125 scooter for 3 days. He’ll be going from Montreal, to Ottawa, to
Kingston and finally landing in Toronto with a bunch of stops in
between. The rules of engagement? No money, a $25 gas card, a stack of
t-shirts, a tent for camping and a mission to spread the scooter
gospel. His cell phone is rigged to the Yamaha corporate Twitter
account, so he’ll be updating frequently along the way. You can follow
along from each of Yamaha’s motorcycle or snowmobile blogs or search
for “YamahaMotorCa” to follow with your Twitter account. Bryan says that he would love to have any fans and riders join him
along the way, which is we’re posting a tentative itinerary below.
Keep in mind, this is a pretty complicated beast to organize and
shooting TV can always take longer than expected, so things can change
really quickly. We will be changing things throughout this week and
during the trip but we wanted to get you up to speed to keep you in
the loop. You’ll need to check back with Bryans blog fairly frequently
to stay on top of our shooting locations! Having said all of that, if you come out to support the tour, Bryan
will give you a limited edition “Scooter Sense Almost World Tour”
t-shirt for your troubles (while his limited supply lasts). Of course
he may use it to trade you for food though!! Here is the current tour schedule as posted on Bryan’s blog. Day One – Sunday October 4th 8:30am to 9:00am at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium Feature 1 – The last breakfast! From now on in - no money, just a gas
