Motorcycle Adverts.

[Spongefinger]

Sitting here watching the tele tonight every commercial break there are car ads....when's the last time anyone saw a motorcycle advert on TV ?

[Stu]

Can't remember the last time I saw one! 

 

But then maybe they don't feel the need to compete against each other for sales!

I think the latest Bond film is a secret advert for Triumph.

Last time remember a bike portrayed in a manufacturers advert was the Honda 'Dream'..

I think I remember seeing it on TV. Since I very rarely go to the cinema* it's unlikely I'd have seen it there.

 

*I took a girl to see Star Wars and ended up marrying her. Hard to beat that so I never felt the need to go back.

They are not technically motorcycle ads, they just have a bike in them, so don't count
