One of the better efforts. Thing is though, it's so long that it'll only ever be shown late at night Neutral

Like it.

An ad that says 'yes, actually it's perfectly possible to go out and have a good ride as long as you leave your brain switched on'.

Not sure if it'll have an effect on those it needs to have an effect on though.

I like it.

Glad they're making this sort of thing to make people think by understanding what they think like, rather than by trying to scare them Smile

good video,

I agree with what G said, glad its not just another 'speed kills' video!

Only thing is, if that is a perfect day, why is it wet?

That's great. I like it. Smile

I agree, the Ducati looks amazing... I'd like to ride on them roads also instead of London with trafic lights every few feet...

A nice little film, well shot and thought provoking. However, I still love this (70s?) film to encourage bikers to "lay back and wide ride"

Much better than the normal "you're all stupid, speeding and being stupid will kill you!!" adverts that we normal get.

It's actually been thought about, thought about what will make people pay more attention rather than just telling us not to speed.

As Bendy say, not too sure if it will actually have an effect on those it needs to most, but it does make you think doesn't it, which is the end result intended. Thumbs Up

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I've seen this advert a few times on TV a while back.

Have to say it's actually best advert I've seen in a long while, especially considering it's about bikes and from the government.. all their other adverts are really dodgy "Don't go fast or you will die" type messages.

That advert shows you can have a nice bike and still ride it fast, overtake and enjoy the ride but still be very safe and encourgaes you to look ahead and think what your doing. I like the way that it doesn't once say, or hint to slow down or any rubbish like that.

It's actually doing the job it's meant to do which isn't slow down as such, but THINK

10/10 for that advert, gorgeous as hell bike and good riding makes for a great advert Smile
