HARLEY DAVIDSON Commercial

Harley Davidson TV commercial with Third Bullet Resistance is Futile as the theme song soundtrack.

Interesting motorcycle video commercial. Personally, I’m just not sure what demographic they’re really appealing to with this type of commercial.

I guess beauty is really in the eye of the beholder, because when I look at this commercial I think it sucks.

I think this would be far better if it showed their wide line of motorcycles with all types of age groups riding them in different locations. (more…)

Electric Motorcycle

Electric Motorcycle – Jay Leno’s Garage

This is certainly a good-looking motorcycle, but I would think the real question whether or not it would be a success is what the retail cost is going to be compared to their gas models. (more…)

Statistics show that the percentage of intoxicated motorcycle riders in fatal crashes is greater than the percentage of intoxicated drivers on our roads.

This is why NHTSA urges all motorcycle riders to always ride smart and sober. (more…)
