yeah, i watched the first season a while ago, not a bad tv show in most respects. acting is pretty good, plotting is not the greatest, but enough to keep me interested. that whole deal with the secret book manuscript is pretty thin, and could be better worked...
but yes, the bikes were woefully bland, the riding footage was boring, and that whole aspect could have been a lot better, hard to believe the guys were bikies, as in keen on motorbikes, rather then just gunrunners.
they probably get all their bikes from HD for nothing for the shoots, free advertising and all that, but they could do a lot to spice them up.
