Ad on the back of a bus

[Jeremy]

Was riding along Symonds street on my way to Uni after popping into Colemans and low and behold there was a bus with an ad on the back I hadn't seen before. The ad being "Coming soon to Auckland; motorcycles allowed in bus lanes". No problem there however the motorcyclist isn't wearing any gloves in the ad! Good to see the local councils promoting dangerous riding habits

Thats how add's are. What about the Ford add where the guy is sitting up front and his smile widens as the engine revs more and more ... and in the end of the add we see his (presumed) 3 year old son in the back seat smiling as "daddy" rev's the engine.... Good one. Go boy racing with the kid in the back.... yahooo

I think that's the Holden ad...

Who watches car ads anyways?

Filled with over-played shite songs and grinning morons.

Why are there never bike adverts?

I downloaded a Kawasaki one which was like banned in the US or soemthing, he speeds past a tractor on a country road which happened to be a cop in disguise, dont see why it was banned :/

Can you post it? And probably banned becouse it could be considerd insulting to cops saying that they drive as slow as if they were in tractors or summat.

Well the problem is that they can't generate enough sales to make it worthwhile. Lets suppose that 2% of 4 million have Class 6 licenses. That gives 80,000 people. Now lets suppose that 3/4 of them have their full. Drops down to 60k. Which is a very small audience for an ad, so they'd have to sell a lot of bikes just to break even. And we all know that usually they don't get into the 4 figure per year number of sales here for a individual bike. Also it helps us as there's hardly any advertising markup.

That's the one where a farmer is caught by a speed camera as the bike triggers it?

I think I have that one...

edit: can't find it. Was an English ad from memory.

hahah yeah it is, the bike goes past at 263 kmh and the tractor gets snapped for it, then it says THE NEW NINJA.. FUCK YOU.. Kawasaki is back! but it has wierd Y things in it haha

i downloaded it but ill see if its on a website

Best bike ad I've seen was that English safety one. Was posted on here ages ago. Was really well done, and as opposed to NZ safety ads wasn't patronising.

Although talking of NZ safety ads, I really like that one where the guy digs his bike (and pillion?) out of the gravel.

Cant post cuz invalid file type i got it off Limewire.. its called banned commercial - cars - kawasaki ninja fuck you

worth a view its only like 2mb or something

Ooohhhh, TUI ADS!

"Stuck on bike? Use Motorway buslane.......Yeah right"

[Waylander]

Found it on bearshare. Pretty funny but the High five one is much funnier.

Yes disappointing innit Jeremy...well to me and you it is, but there are still a number of riders ON THIS SITE who often don't wear gloves!!

Both the council who fund those ads and the drongo's who ride motorcycles thinking their hands are indestructible, are totally irresponsible if you ask me.
