my bike is a bit scratched up and i dont wanna pay for a paint job so i was thinking of approaching a cigarette company and see if they wanna paint my bike up in like rothmans or winfield red colours , it would be great advertising for them cause obviously the tele and radio and other media are out , i could make it worth there while by parking it outside sporting events and busy shopping centers for a small fee , any ideas who i should approach ? i wonder if they go for it

Some of the large Tabocco companies seem to have a presence in Formula 1 (Four Wheels) racing so I don't see why they would refuse to show interest in your scheme WINJA.

Then again a fat old never was isn't the best image for a Tabacco brand.

What you need mate is an oil company as a sponsor. They've got more money than smoke companies There's a good Spanish oil company called Repsol but you'd have to change your bike first. You'd have to up your skills to handle da POWER

However I don't see how it would be any more gay than a smoking paint job. If a DHB did it Id suspect that it would look pretty cool. These days they design things to a target group and I guess they would target the younger generation. You could be surprised with what they could come up with. An anti-smoking slogan with some Maori designs would look cool, they can do it to my suzuki for free if they want, provided they are removable decals like the graphic that are already on it.

He has a point :laugh:

Most people in this country that still smoke buy rollies now so you're best to target them. A Port Royal paint job would look pretty sweet and be very different. You'd probably confuse the do gooders too cos they'd never have seen one before so their poor, simple little brains would be all confuddled.

True, but...

The ciggy company would be opening themselves to a breach of the above mentioned law if they paid WINJA to paint his bike in their colours. Unless WINJA was selling the ciggies himself he wouldn't be liable for breach.

I wouldn't mind being sponsored by Durex. Would be quite a laugh actually, and very off-putting to your competitors, at least until it becomes common.

Not so sure if motorcycling is the safe and healthy image they want though.

You should be able to get whatever big corporate to go for it fairly easily. You can guarantee them national TV coverage on Police Ten-7 and Motorway Patrol, and if you're really good/crazy you might make the national news programs. Just try and do it in the morning so they've got time to edit out the bits that cops do right before the 6 o'clock news.

And regarding the Subbie 555 team, there were two paint schemes that differed slightly if I recall. One was 555 which was british american tobacco, and the other was more of a stylised SSS type look which at 180k sideways down a gravel road could very easily be confused for 555.

Almost as laughable as the idea of a ciggy company PAYING some random to paint there bike.<_<

Although, good luck with it, maybe if they say no tell them that you know a few other people (kbers) who would be keen (me included :D), if they had 20 bikes in auckland etc they might go 'oooh'.

Best bet is to sound all pro (in the meeting), prepare stuff and shit. like graphs - dont worry about making stuff up, its called statistics.

maybe even they could have a "lucky stripe rally" / kb ride :D or somthing.

I'd be surprised if there was a ban on individuals wanting to paint their cars in support of a brand, political party or anything else.

I wouldn't do it on pricipal (it's a ciggy = death thing for me) but if you want to - go for it.

Expect to get hassled about it though - and it's not like you're used to being controversial... NOT!

This is your out brother. Put a pack of ciggies in the boot of your bike and keep them there. Now you have them in a container or package in which the tobacco is being "shipped".

The other out is aproaching them - tell them what you want, and if they agree to it, have their legal people qaulify your concerns under the smoking advertising act thing Riffer pointed out... and have them back you legally.

I'd also ask them about the best way to stir up a storm with it... the press would LOVE it, you'd be nation wide (or global) news... thus making it economically viable for that company to paint your bike and gain the required visibility/sales boost that would pay for it.

Yes I did but since you can't be trusted I presumed that this is another of your hoaxes as in a piss take. What happened did the whore houses turn you down??

I think artistic licenese and such is covered in the copyright act skyryder. They can't stop him. Besides, if you read the thread, he wants them to sponsor the job, not just paint it on himself.

Name branding is registered.................published material is copyright.

Artistic licence............that's an excuse for Winj's prose.

Shit I still can't post icons..................sent emails two of them.............any mods got them??

Gotta love F1. When Belgium said you can't bring F1 to our country unless you ban cigarette advertising, Ecklestein said fine, fuck off then. They changed their mind.

Stop messing about, and sell your advertising space on trade-me.
Invite the tobacco companies, booze makers, party drug manufacturers, strip joints and whore houses to bid... you may still end up advertising tampax but hey, you will still have a new paint job...

ooh, another company idea: Charge (or one of those energy pills).. They used to (not sure now) sponsor a drag car, which had really cool paint with lightning bolts and stuff.. wasn't it red on one side, blue on the other, and a bunch of nice-looking lightning bolts?

Ecclestone??

Did you know that Ferrari and McLaren have the same sponsor?
West and Marlboro are both brands of the Philip Morris Company. Their parent company (Altria Group) also has brands such as Kraft (Vegemite) and Millers Beer.

So Winja, any joy?? Ask them how many bikes they'll paint if they're keen. I'd dead keen on a Marlboro replica.

I HAD A NICE CONVERSATION WITH NICK BOOTH TODAY FROM B.A.T AND HE SAID THE COMPANY CANNOT PAY ANYTHING TOWARDS A PAINT JOB OR ASSIST IN ANYWAY CAUSE ITS THE PAYMENT OF MONEY OR ASSISTANCE NOT THE PAINT JOB ITSELF THAT CROSSES THE LEGAL LINE , THEY MARKET LUCKY STIKE IN NZ AND HE SAID IM MORE THAN WELCOME TO USE THE TRADE MARK WITH NO LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ME , HE WAS ACTUALLY A REAL NICE AND HELPFULL GUY.

I MIGHT TRY PHILLIP MORRIS NEXT

what if he ordered in a vinyl set of the gixxer stickers from america (i know they must do this sometimes..), and give them to you..

..and what i mean by that is (reference: TAXI - the bmw with the red vinyl which could be taken off, and the bmw was actually blue).. so a full marlboro or lucky strike vinyl sticker that covers your gixxer from top to bottom or something?

Fair enough, I expected as much. What if you were to do a job for them, and it paid the equivalent of a paintjob... say vacuming their offices one night? :lol:
