What a waste - bloody admen!
« 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. ;)

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

You might want to have a look at the Trials forum on this subject. All is not what it seems!
