it's a Vespa....don't insult Vespa like that

 

I auditioned for this commercial. They asked for people with interesting careers and stories. Guess I was too stereotypical. At the audition I saw nothing but crotch rockets and people on honda cruisers. didn't get that one...

 

I enjoyed the ad. Just ride. A little about myself since I feel like submitting a tweet to the fun program H-D has going on right now. When I ride to work in the morning all people see is a rider in full carhartts and full face helmet. When I ride home in the evening which is usually 30 degrees warmer, it's whatever I wore to work which is usually running shoes, carpenter jeans and a hoodie. Sometimes I have meetings that require suit, tie and dress shoes. Wear them riding home too only to switch out into jeans and T shirts so I can start fixing customers bikes at night.

I eat sleep and crap motorcycles. I spend all of my free time repairing/building/restoring motorcycles because it's what I LOVE doing. Used to work as a mechanic for local dealers and now do managerial work for a distribution center. My job is just that, a job. I ride pretty much on my own and sometimes with my dad and his club buddies. Born and raised to breathe motorcycles. I bought my first brand new bike which is a 2009 crossbones in 2010 because I spent the last 7 years saving up for it. No financing, why make banks any richer? (rhetorically speaking here...) So I dunno, I feel that I can relate to the video and the marketing in place.

This was a great read both on and off topic, part of the reason I love reading this forum. I don't post a whole lot, since I like reading it more. Anyways, great banter!
