Title: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid? Post by: johnc on September 09, 2009, 05:12:32 PM why, oh why would someone want to have a rossi "replica" r1?

That's perfect, as his bike is sponsored by Sterilgarda, which if you didn't know is a company that sells milk. Title: Re: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid?

Title: Re: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid? Post by: TCK! on September 10, 2009, 03:31:03 AM I'm sorry I don't see the difference between the top bike and the bottom bike. Appear to both be bikes covered in stickers. What am I missing, other then the significance of who rides them?

I realize that they come off...the weird thing is that they're on there at all. It's just weird... [cheeky] Title: Re: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid?

Title: Re: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid? Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 10, 2009, 07:19:41 AM I think they can be removed with a hairdryer. Which, ironically, is also true of johnc ;D My take on replicas is that for people who like that sort of thing, they have a lot of the sort of thing that those people like.

Yum, oatmeal. ;D Title: Re: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid? Post by: Desmostro on September 10, 2009, 07:39:34 AM I'd like to know how much oatmeal they had to give Rossi to stand next to the most fuggly thing I've seen this decade.
He won't even look at it out of fear.

Have you seen a Multistrada before?!? Or any Buell for that matter? (f'n Buells >:() Title: Re: why are marketing slugs so f'ing stooopid? Post by: Itsasickness on September 10, 2009, 04:22:37 PM The same reason someone would pay$700 for a helmet with Rossi's face on it. There are a lot of sheeple out there and Yamaha is capitalizing, more power to them
