Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: redxblack on December 21, 2010, 05:08:01 PM Was that a 620 he was riding?
Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: zooom on December 21, 2010, 05:08:28 PM I can honestly say, that Peg Perego musta had a dead battery, cause that thing moves much faster than that!
Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: muskrat on December 21, 2010, 05:21:48 PM good one. now, can we have Ducati's response? [coffee]

THIS MEANS WAR!!! [evil] Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: zooom on December 21, 2010, 05:27:53 PM all I can say is....they should be glad it wasn't KTM making that commercial...the guy would have pulled away from the stop on 1 wheel!!!
Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: muskrat on December 21, 2010, 05:28:57 PM as it is the guy on the Aprilia almost got run over at the stop sign.

Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: mitt on December 21, 2010, 07:42:33 PM At least it wasn't one of the new monsters - that would have been really embarrassing.

Post by: rideserotta on December 21, 2010, 09:19:11 PM That's a great commercial. Even though they dis'd my 620!!
Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: Rameses on December 21, 2010, 10:13:02 PM Here's the Ducati response. Ruben Xaus on the Hypermotard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL9pV0TMa2Q#normal) Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: kopfjäger on December 21, 2010, 10:37:55 PM ^^ weak at best.
Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: Rameses on December 21, 2010, 11:05:58 PM ^^ weak at best. Yeah, Ruben Xaus can't ride for shit. One of us should probably go teach him some stuff. 'Cause I know I've done plenty of knee-down, one-handed powerslides. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: kopfjäger on December 21, 2010, 11:14:54 PM Yeah, Ruben Xaus can't ride for shit. One of us should probably go teach him some stuff. 'Cause I know I've done plenty of knee-down, one-handed powerslides. Ask BMW how good he rides. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: Lars D on December 22, 2010, 01:30:49 AM Xaus shoulda had a Ham sandwich.
Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: duclvr on December 22, 2010, 03:44:20 AM as it is the guy on the Aprilia almost got run over at the stop sign. I saw that too.

'Cause I know I've done plenty of knee-down, one-handed powerslides. He's referring to the response not riding skills. And he's right... not clever at all. Needs to some creativity with it. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: ducatiz on December 22, 2010, 05:24:18 AM Seems to me Aprilia is smarting from all the co-branding that Ducati has done.
My 3 year old has the Peg Perego Ducati. He already identifies with the brand. He shits a brick when he sees one of my bikes out and already does the "twist wrist" VROOM VROOM! Ducati did a smart thing making that little bike -- and all the toddler-sized clothes. He will ride a bike one day and will always have a soft spot for Ducatis. When I leave for a ride, there is something fun about him yelling out the door "WHEELIE DADDY!" Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: hunduc on December 22, 2010, 05:46:11 AM At least it wasn't one of the new monsters - that would have been really embarrassing. ;D mitt they had to use the old style, those new ones are hard to tell apart from the japanese bikes... i just had to say something to this... :) Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean.

Just were are your loyalties? When Ducati is attacked from the outside we must rally in her defense. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean.

A student of mine who went home for the holidays parked his R6 in my garage for winter. I fire it up every fews days and ride it around to keep it 'fresh'. Yesterday when I pulled his bike out my 3 year old said, "Daddy, take the real bike." I said this is a real bike. He said, "No it's not... it sounds weird and it's not red." (acutally he said "it's not wed") He knows passion at 3! Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: hunduc on December 22, 2010, 06:24:54 AM Oh oh. Just were are your loyalties?

Post by: Popeye the Sailor on December 22, 2010, 07:12:03 AM Anyone know the difference between Paris Hilton and Aprilia?
Less people have ridden an Aprilia. Alternatively, Paris Hilton needs less maintenance. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: ungeheuer on December 22, 2010, 07:16:59 AM [laugh] [laugh]

It wasn't meant to be clever. I was just posting it because it shows something other than what the Priller video depicts the stereotypical Ducati rider as being... which is a wealthy douchebag that buys an Italian bike as a status symbol and can't ride for shit. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: il d00d on December 22, 2010, 08:31:21 AM Less people have ridden an Aprilia. Alternatively, Paris Hilton needs less maintenance. Paris may give you hepatitis, but the Aprilia will give your garage AIDS? I didn't think there was anything particularly clever about the first commercial. But any excuse to break balls is ok by me :P Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: gh0stie on December 22, 2010, 08:52:19 AM those bastards...i lol'd

Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: triangleforge on December 22, 2010, 09:54:05 AM ^^ weak at best. Don't read "response" too literally -- the Xaus video went up in 2007... Of course, Aprilia's scooter overlords have no problem switching the message around 180 degrees... Vespa vs Harley-Davidson funny advertising (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQDeg95sZqE#normal) Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: Rameses on December 22, 2010, 10:15:19 AM At least now I know what to get my son for Xmas....well, a late xmas gift... Doesn't have to be a late one... I've seen them for sale in the local Sears. (Around the tool/lawnmower section.) Might be worth checking. Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: Spidey on December 22, 2010, 10:32:24 AM make the beast with two backs Aprilia. Only douches ride Italian bikes. Real men ride bikes like this.

Title: Re: Aprilia's just mean. Post by: strat10 on December 22, 2010, 03:42:56 PM Just found one of those Mini Ducati's on Smeeebay for $199.00 Maybe now my son will quit climbing on my monster, twisting the throttle and going "varooom varooom"
