Title: What a waste - bloody admen!
Post by: Canam370 on January 09, 2015, 10:21:55 am
In a weak moment I took a little notice of a TV ad by a insurance company (because it featured a bike!) and was a bit horrified to see them crash an RL250 into the side of a bus! It was meant to be humourous but I wasn't laughing! Shocked I tells ya! Couldn't they have used a bike that no-one would miss, like a IT or Hodaka or such?

Fear not, it's Computer Generated Imagery  (CGI) stuff.  Just not as obvious as the XB being jumped of the ramp bullshit. ;)
