While we don't have any snow on the ground right now, I'm not going for a ride - its -10 Celcius right now. And no parts back from painter/machine shop to be out in the garage working on a bike.

Quite a while. It was a step up, before that it was the dog house.

Take my wife, please........

Too funny

I take my wife everywhere; she keeps finding her way home!

If my SWMBO had her way, the garage would have power and heat so she wouldn't have to put with me!

I think that the bike being shoved into the back of the mini van is either a Matchless or an Ariel, thumper tricked out for desert use. I could be wrong. The clue is on the tank if you can catch it.
Nice bike though.

It looks like a Matchless to me, which tells me somebody responsible for the commercial is an enthusiast.

it almost looks like a

What would make that commercial funny is if it ended with a tight shot of the kids with a shocked look on their face as the van started rolling. Then the shot widens and You see mom standing in the dust, and You hear dads voice saying "Mom just had to sass mouth me kids."

damn right

Hate that commercial too.

Course regardless, from the coating of dust on the guy and the bike.....

Looks like he was having a hell of a good time before he broke.

I was driving my Dodge D250 pickup in a middle of a desert while hauling my pair of Honda SL350K1s when it broke down and had to use one of my Honda motorcycle to get the parts necessasy to fix the Dodge. My girlfriend who was riding with me at the time commented "Good thing you were hauling Hondas". Maybe that should be a commercial.
I love British thumpers. They last more than mini-vans. I even converted my Suzuki DS250 to look like a BSA Goldstar.

Actually it was a water pump. Mine is an old 1983 model.

The wife looks like my sister-in-law. My wife reminds me that I bought a none working bike (it runs NOW).

Fixing old classic motorcycle is better than wasting money drinking at the bar. Since I'm a non-drinker, I collected many motorcycles. Sometimes motorcycles reminds me of women, since both can be reliable as long as you take a good care of them.

Sure looks like the old 50's BSA Gold Star to me. Can't be a Norton Commando, they have 2
cylinders and this one has 1 cylinder. I wish I had a photo of 1 in that configuration. Well anyway,
I'm gone. Later on, Bill

I like the commercial because it's a cool looking bike...evertime I see it I try to figure out what it is...I thought I saw 2 pipes..I thought it was British so I thought that would be too cool for dodge so it was probably a XS...dam, I will have to look again....there is some other commercial where the guy buys bike and puts the wife's stuff inside the p/u... the bike looks like some kind of in- line 4

csendker · « **Reply #46 on:** March 23, 2006, 06:18:22 PM »

I started this thread because I kept getting ragged on by my family. When I first bought my bike last summer, I couldn't keep the damn thing running coming home from work one day (I have since thought it over, and think I forgot to open the fuel valve, duh). I had to call and get picked up - luckily I still had a borrowed trailer at home.

It has since taken on a more sinister meaning for me. A friend of mine was involved in a very nasty motorcycle accident last fall; that would be a couple of weeks after I got mine on the road (timing is everything). Long-time expert rider, big-ass Harley; of course, it was someone turning into him. He passed away in December, congestive heart failure related to his injuries. Rushed to the hospital in the middle of his birthday party, to no avail. Left a wife & six kids. While at his benefit party, this commercial must have played a half-dozen times on all of the bar's big-screen's. I know you can't control what the networks air, but the sentiment was not taken very well. Now I can't watch it without thinking of the him...

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing. Cruel irony for sure.

csendker · « **Reply #48 on:** March 23, 2006, 06:42:52 PM »

Thanks. Sucks for sure. Between that and my wife wrecking her truck in Feb (broken vertabrae), I'm having a real tough time justifying my new M/c obsession with her. Luckily, it's winter so the riding is very limited, and as they say, time heals all.

bill440cars · « **Reply #49 on:** March 23, 2006, 06:58:53 PM »

csendker,
Words can not express feelings that is felt for the loss of a loved one or friend as the case
may be. Also, I hope your wife is healing well. Sometimes, it seems like we have to take 2 steps
backward and start all over again, just to be able to regroup. Unless, we've been there, we can't
Really understand. I've been there and it's never easy. Take care and I'll catch you later.

Bill
