Well, it starts and ends with a car chasing a motorcycle- hard to tell what the bike is, it may change- BUT THE FINAL IMAGE OF THE BIKE SHOWS IT WITH THE CENTERSTAND DOWN. AFTER EXPLOSIVE DEFENESTRATION. AT SPEED. Someone should be killed. (Figuratively). There's no honor in commercials anymore. It's like showing Giselle Bundschen in a Victoria's Secretions ad, then showing her packing junk. (Message edited by 86129squids on September 16, 2010) | ||

It's official- I'm beginning to hate cel phones. Especially poor commercials for them, designed to drive sales- not to mention the new Ford "smart" crap. Smart is EYES UP, DRIVE/RIDE TO STAY ALIVE. `````````````````````````````````````````````` Anyhoo, just curious if anyone else has seen this damn commercial. I've seen it at least twice, enough to get pissed off. | ||

Sorry... I don't watch TV at all any more. You should give it a try, life is much less annoying this way. | ||

This one? | ||

I saw this and I thought the entire bike changed except the color from when the chase was happening to when it busted out of the window during the explosion. | ||

Pwnzor- yeah, you might be right- me and the GF have just a few shows throughout the entire week that we enjoy- most of the stuff on the boob tube is worthless anyhoo. Don't even have cable, just one of those digital converter boxes- that's plenty. Plus, we get 3 different PBS stations, one of which shows LOTS of great cooking/travel shows. I'd thought that bike had started as an old parallel twin of some sort- it HAD to have changed at least twice before the last few scenes- I just can't believe the editor/producer let this slide. Shades of "Top Gun" with the Turbo Kaw and Tom Cruise "riding" it, with the tiedowns still on the front end!!!   | ||

When my ex and I split up, I left her all the TV's. I kept my DVD collection, and I have the stereo system hooked to the HDMI input on my computer monitor so I can watch them. Beyond that, I'll catch any video I need on the interwebz. | ||

The reason the centerstand is down is because the rider pushed on the lever to throw himself off the bike before it went through the window... then he blew up with the rest of the building... | ||

Good on ya Pwn- one day I look forward to doing a serious update to the hifi/multimedia stuff I got now. (It sounds/vids great, but most of the components are pushing 20 years or better...) My biggest fear is having some meat break in and steal my CD collection- I'd LOVE to put every damn disc and DVR video I have on some digital media storage doodad. Trevd- good try, just can't picture that at all. I wish someone could pick apart the frames, get a good look at what the heck they did. In the beginning the bike looked to have at least a little power, but the one that flew resembled something less than 250cc. I'm sorry to be geeking on this, but the uses of motorcycles in mass media REALLY should be better. Oh well...  | ||

Oh it's not just motorcycles, in Bullitt one of the cars lost more hubcaps than it had wheels but still had a full set on the car. I also remember seeing a Hollywood blockbuster set in Roman times. Outstanding casting, filming, acting, scenery, locations. Shame about the jet contrails across the beautiful blue 1st century sky. I expect Barker's your man for all this stuff. | ||
| 86129squids |
Yeah, I'd thought about Barker or some other peeps on here to break it down. "A picture's worth a thousand words"... Well, then, aqwrgf ka xvcnn b pasdjnv nlohasvfb qwruetupan adjj n yeah. | ||

There was a episode of Knight Rider (2008) featuring several 1125R's. There was one part where the rider jumped off and abandoned the 1125R, the "stunt" bike that was sacrificed to crash was a Ninja 250. They did another swap a minute later, the group of 1125R's were in the back of a trailer, and suddenly they turned into a Ninja 250 again to fall over, then once they were laying down they mysteriously turned back into the Buells. | ||
