Yeah, you've seen the end result first hand, haven't you?

[Pussy]

Dead bloody right!! :niceone:

[98tls]

Effective indeed though ive never understood why todays motorcyclists need to watch a video to understand that falling off one hurts,possibly a Playstation generation thing.That or breast feeding actually did work.

[beyond]

What would you know. You've never ridden with me so leave your unnecessary comments at the door and let this post stand for what it is.

[Sidewinder]

You are such a fucking hypocrite.

You are such a fucking hypocrite.

And you would make such a good Pope of course... complete with glass cage for protection but he who lives in a glasshouse should not throw stones...

Goodnight...... have yourself a sweet wet dream.

[dipshit]

Very well done!

Or they could have just shown some Isle of Man TT footage.

[TuonoTom]

Would be awesome to see that on TV here!

[98tls]

Would be awesome to see that on TV here! Out of interest,why?What possible difference would it make?

Katman could say "See you fuckers - I said the same thing four years ago".

:msn-wink:

Do you think I could get away with saying "See, even Mick Doohan has been listening to me"?

Excuse me for re-posting. 50 lashes with a frozen bootlace..

[Angusdog]

Almost certainly a repost, but new to me:

Mick Doohan - No Place to race video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VruWHHEnZGw).

Nicely done.

[BOGAR]

I've not seen that one before. Quite efective advertising. Had me thinking s%$t whats a bus shelter doing on a race track but thats the whole idea. The road is not one.:2thumbsup

[R6_kid]

Stolen from a friends Facebook page...

[DarkLord]

Would kinda suck if you were getting your knee down while blazing round one of the corners on the Taupo racetrack, lowsided and inexplicably hit a bus.... :shit:

[Nutter34]

Cool vid... Muchos gracias...

[Nutter34]

Just proves it's not the speed that hurts...

It's the sudden stop that does all the damage...

Lol.

[MDR2]

So.. what we need on public roads is 10 meters of run off either side and gravel traps on corners?

[Cajun]

Came across this in my travels today

Austrilian Ad

The Australian Motorcycle Accident commission has launched a new campaign, entitled "The Roads No Place to Race", that highlights the risk of racing on the road.

It includes a graphic television commercial showing the obstacles potentially facing motorcyclists on the road, by cleverly merging crash footage from races with everyday traffic and obstacles including buses, a telephone box, a tree and post office box.

5 time Grand Prix world Champion Mick Doohan, who is fronting the campaign, said
“If I had faced the obstacles that are on the road on the race track, I would certainly not be here today. Race tracks are designed for just that – racing – and motorcyclists are not invincible on the road where there are so many dangers.”

Love the action shots, but would prefer to see this kind of advert on our TV:

[CookMySock]

"The Roads No Place to Race"Unfortunately it's all most people have, so they use it.

There needs to be better access to the track, in such a way that we can nip down there for a quick burst when we feel like it, and the $100-$200 a shot needs to change.

That's a neat advert (the first one). :niceone:

[crazyhorse]

Guess if it gets the message out there - all well and good.

I'm a fast rider - but we stay off the main roads, and pick alot of quieter roads.

Agree, if there were more tracks available, all the better.............

[MSTRS]

Which have as many or more hazards than the 'main' roads. Except for the ones with lights...

[Marmoot]

It includes a graphic television commercial

why does it always have to be graphic with the australians?

Why can't it be more like this?

Excellent, both of them.

In all email submissions etc, would the recipient (say Nick the Prick) watch a YouTube clip?

I'd like to send this one, with the message...
The vast majority of motorcyclists are sensible and go to great lengths to protect ourselves. Don't penalise us for the stupid actions of a few. Don't penalise us for poor road conditions. Don't penalise us for road safety structures that are not safe for us. Don't penalise us for the stupidity of other motorists. Don't penalise us for being vulnerable. Don't force us to dig deeper to protect ourselves and our fellow riders.
Lives and injuries will not be saved by high/er ACC levies. Except if less of us continue riding. We represent a valuable contribution in overall traffic infrastructure. We should be encouraged to continue, and helped to stay that way.

[Bob]

This is one shown in the UK, that gets the message over in a very clever way:

[pritch]

Nice links Bob.

I'm surprised that the Australians are running an ad like that. The last couple of times I've been there everybody has been so law abiding. All these brilliant bikes and all doing just 100KPH...

[YellowDog]

This ain't rocket science.

Look at this UK advert from the 1970s.

I think it would help.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YYDdNhaWEns&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YYDdNhaWEns&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Instead we spend 000s on adverts saying don't so over 50kph whilst listening to the radio and not concentrating on the road.

How about "listening to the radio and not concentrating" is the problem rather than doing >50kph ?

[newbould]

This ain't rocket science.

Look at this UK advert from the 1970s.

Awsome stunt riding - no computer graphics on that one! Poor old trumpy though.

1 point - if the biker had been riding the outside wheel track instead of the inside he would have been much more visible

[crazyhorse]

I think we as motorcyclists do actually forget that perhaps the car drivers do not see us due to things like the previous video......

[CookMySock]

if the biker had been riding the outside wheel track instead of the inside he would have been much more visibleYup, or had his headlight on fullbeam, or riding faster, or weaving about to break up the blind spots, or making some noise, or....

Ride around like an axe murderer and you have no problems, except other bikers staying away from you.. not such a bad thing either though. :niceone:

[paddy]

Love the action shots, but would prefer to see this kind of advert on our TV:

ACC should buy that and screen it here (the second video in the thread). It would seem to fit well with their mandate for injury prevention....

[MSTRS]

Nup. It's a 2stroke, Suzuki...possibly a T250.
And yes, the rider was not well-positioned.

[CookMySock]

Just found this 30 second vid, and I think its' worth starting a thread about. Not much to discuss though. Just watch it.

Yeah have seen it before. One of the better ones I think and dam well done.

Damn, where is Sniper when you need him, he would have seized this opportunity with his repost quick response team.

But it is an extremely effective ad.
