MC television trivia quiz

[John Orchard]

Ok guys, I will say a line from an ad, and/or give a clue, see if you can answer what the television advert was for and what model bikes were in it.  Give it a go yourself, let's see who was bike crazy enough to remember the old ads.

"boots ready Stanley" wheelies out of a barn.

No I can’t get that one Johnny.
Here’s one but.
I live in Newcastle and yonks ago I remember a local dealer running a Controversial TV add, that caused a stir.

 It went (beautiful blonde in hot pants),
 “hey girl, how would you like something big Red and throbbing between your legs?”

“well hop an a ------ -- -------- at ---- ------- motorcycles and go!”

couldn’t get away with it these days, Germane Greer, would scream foul
all over it.

[retrowrex]

Well.  I heard it as a Honda.  I sort of half recall it being on the back of a magazine in the mid 70s for a red devil add.  Can't say for sure, and have never been to Newcastle, so can not fill in the rest.

hop on a honda at norm frasers?

[090]

Only one I remember is the Suzuki ad where Beetle Bailey rode a DR250 round a paddock and jumped it, etc. Had an army theme I think?

[John Orchard]

Mine was an ad for Nugget boot polish, a guy wheelied out of the barn on an MX125B.

okay another, who know's the words to the Suzuki jingle in their advert from the mid 70's?

[Mick D]

I remember a poster for Ariel in the window of Baglee and Westons bike shop at Fairfield in the early fifties it had this doll with the bike and the caption read "lovely to look at, delightful to ride" which made quite an impression on this young teenager with his push-bike. cheers pancho.
