    Exclamation One Scary .mpg

    For safety's sake check out this link. Unfortunately few of the intended audience will see it:

    Do not have a cup of coffee in your hand or on desk when first viewing it.

    Actually, ABATE uses that video for motorcycle awareness classes in the Driver's Ed programs here in Michigan.

    I like the other one from that campaign, in which a guy is enjoying an afternoon tearing up the English countryside on a Duc with surf music in the background and he keeps passing silly signs warning him of all sorts of hazards and he makes it home safe and sound only to have a bird shyte on his nice leather suit just after he removes his helmet.
    Bikeless for now...but not forever!

    i think the AMA or other large mc organization should attempt to get that ad aired in this country


    although 9/10ths of americans would probably say "he deserved it, riding on the wrong side of the road"..............

    Meh, you beat me to the joke Bubba...

    There was a psa that was made for Massachusetts along similar lines... never seen it on tv though, just the internet.

    It deffinitly is... when the driver first looks to his right, the bike isn't there... although I think it's okay here to drive home the point.

    That's an appropriately timed "JUMP" situation. There is 'NO' stopping or anything else time to do anything but jump very high and very quickly.

    Wadding yourself into the side of a car like that will hurt a lot more than skidding down the road on the other side.

    I wish those commercials would air on TV here.
