Motor Cycle News - never one to think too carefully about things - has come up with a classic this time, according to The Register:

Not sure they could have made a worse stab at placing the wrong advert with that article.

Don't forget stupidity and taxes.

The shame here is that those adverts are generated automatically based on the news item keywords. There's an entire website devoted to just these kinds of occurances.

I'll try and find the site...

Hell, if it was me dead, I couldnt think of a better line to have there, 'No-one ever wished they'd stayed in more' with a picture of a bike.

They should have had an advert about the new bullet proof helmets...

Yes, well, er..., as H-D say, it's the journey, not the destination.
