Default If you were making a Harley commercial...

Can't say the deal is done, but my company has been approached about shooting for Harley in the very near future. One of these shoots will be a commercial.

I'm pretty set on what the shoot will involve, but I gotta ask, what makes a good harley commercial in your opinion? a bad one?

Remember the commercial should be about motorcycles, not lifestyles.

Good one = Hot barely dressed skanky chicks on motorcycles
Bad one = Rider stuck on the side of the road or getting blown off by a Honda

the iron 883 commercial from 2009 was my favorite. The music, the Black Angels "bloodhounds on my trail" was perfect for it.

it's been stripped off of youtube though.

but it was very well done.

I love seeing the bikes, but, commercials are made to sell to new customers so I guess they have to pimp the "lifestyle"

It should feature several riders from this here forum, not models.

I'm sure we're all "ready for prime time".

Good...........this one. Less about Harley's, it captures what riding a motorcycle is all about.

and as he pulls in hot chicks in bikinis surround him n start jumpin around.
