I saw this ad last night and I personally think they did a great job. It's really different from the other road safety ads they have done in the past and I think it is pretty effective.

I prefer it to other bike ads that I have seen.

They said in the making Helen gives the thumbs up but it looked like the bird to me

I wouldn't mind something that stands out and has my name on it (even big letters on the back of my leathers for example ) but feel like most people would think it looks stupid.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

[Slim1664]

That was pretty cool ad. Like others have said, better than the rest i have seen.

I used to like one where some guy got on a Ducati and went for a ride and there were loads of signs about like "Tractor pulling out" and "Shit on the road". Different point to the adds i know but i liked it.

The radio version has the missus interested.

A woman comes on "Hi, I'm Karen and I ride a Kawasaki ER5. I have a pink helmet and ride through Morley and straight down into the centre of Leeds - look out for me."

The missus picked up her 1st bike on Saturday after passing her DAS a couple of weeks ago. She has an ER5 and pink lid. Although she doesn't go through Morley she has visions of random people waving at her as she passes by!

I explained that it may not be a bad thing - even if 1 person saw her who otherwise wouldn't have done. Suggested getting a sticker on the back that says - "NO - I'm not Karen!!!"

I've had a lot to say about the poor quality of older ads.... but I like that one a lot. No dodgy camera tricks, no changes of position one shot to the next, no guilt trip, just a nice friendly nudge.

That ad's rather inaccurate. What sort of biker gives someone a thumbs up after they nearly pulled out on to them.

I think it should be re-shot to include thumping the Merc's wing mirror off.

Pretty good.

An add from THINK that doesn't involve a child being road kill in slow motion.

Should raise awareness a bit...

The shot of the bike going northbound after Blackfriars bridge is innaccurate too... we're normally doing a bit more than 20mph there...

(Actually really liked that ad, mucho respect to the creators)

Great ad, however if it works it'll just be a matter of time before those lights are compulsory

[.....]

TBH honest I think they're fighting a losing battle.

Maybe the money should be diverted away from TV ads and into further training on defensive riding for motorcyclists?

I don't think TV ads will ever really help, unless someone has some statistics to prove me otherwise? Keith?

[rac3r]

I saw them making that 'Helen' one in the tunnel and I thought it was some sad person that just got married and wanted everyone to know They caused so much traffic as well!

(I needs me some lights!)

Very good, I liked that. Seems like that will probably get more attention than the shock value ones.

Wotcha.

I thought it was an advert for fully dressed Gold Wings.

I thought it was pretty insighful and a good job fairly well done.

I think they also need to grab some footage or a few different bikers doing their normal routes at normal times, and edit 'worst' cager bits together so people can see how their careless driving affects bikes but still have a nice tune so it doesn't seem hostile.
