I guess this PSA is running in the UK... sure could do a lot of good to see something like it in the US!

That brought back a lot of memories. I know of one person that did not take longer to look for bikes.

I do like the ad though.

Wow, that starts out with a shock!

We'll never see anything like that in the US, where bikes are (seen as) just toys, not a form of transportation.

Pretty chilling stuff...there ought to be more PSA's like that as well as PSA's on tailgating.  I know it was staged, but I hope that guys ok! :lol:

Deliberate, I'm sure, but did you notice the how severely the head was rotated on the rider's neck? Ack!  :shock:

:shock: That was spooky man. I need to see that stuff myself from time to time. I hate wearing a helmet and really only started wearing one consistently after joining this board. See that. You guys are a positive influence. :beers:

Same here on the helmet wearing. My previous bike was a HD, and not wearing a helmet was practically required to be accepted by the "biker brothers". When I was looking for a new bike and stumbled upon this site, after becoming interested in the Bandits, I was struck by the fact that nearly each and every one of you always wears a helmet, it woke me up. Thanks to you real "riding brothers", I now always wear my hemet. Thanks for your intelligent urging to all who frequent this board about the need for the brain bucket.
 :thanks:
