My bike featured in a TV Commercial in Japan!!
« on: January 20, 2015, 04:10:31 PM »
Hi all,

I have not posted in a while but I wanted to share some publicity that my project just received.  I was chosen to have my Sandcast 750 featured in a TV commercial for Japanese Motorcycle company Bike O & Co.  It featured former NY Yankees slugger and World Series MVP Hideki Matsui.  It was shot this fall in NYC.  I got a chance to meet him and I had him autograph my tank!!

That's a stunning looking bike. I'd see they chose wisely for their commercial shoot.

It was funny,  When he first walked over to my bike it was obvious that he had not ridden before.  He was hired by Bike O & Co to star in the ads.  He is like Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan famous in his homeland.  Bike O is the largest reseller of Motorcycles in Japan.  They are like an ebay or cycletrader.  They started with internet only and they are now adding retail stores.  That is why they produced the advertisement.  I was lucky enough to have my bike chosen for the NYC filming.

Wow, what an honor. That is one beautiful bike as well. I am super jealous.

Pictures of his autograph on your tank? I think it would be hard for me to have someone write on my sandcastle. Although, as you mentioned, he is a legend.

How much less could you care? Frankly I couldn't care less. :)
