Has anyone seen this yet?

Wonder how much DNA paid for this spot?

I remembered seeing it a few weeks ago and thought, "Wow...lots of Ducati love!"

Monster and a Hyper...maybe a red SBK? I'm not a pro spotter yet  ;)

One nice thing about getting older and basically loosing almost all of my hair is that now I too have perfect hair everytime! [laugh] No more helmet hair!! [thumbsup]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

As I lose more and more hair over the years I keep thinking about just shaving my head. I think thin, wispy helmet hair is probably the WORST kind of helmet hair and I want to avoid it before mine gets there!

In my experience, a shaved head under a helmet is quite nice, particularly in the summer with all the vents open. Two or three days of stubble, not so much.

summer time, riding, and the number two guard where made for one another
I'm here for a good time, but not a long time.

All the Harleys make it not a good thing.  :P

Stuffing my mop into a helmet ends one of two ways......

Either it looks really cool after....or really, really bad  [puke]
Everytime I'm on two wheels, the streets part, heavens open, and hearts pound

The heart pounding is true, at least...

DNA might not have paid a thing.   Think about it. Progressive would market towards Ducati, Harley & BMW because those folks statistically don't crash their bikes as much as the folks who ride Japanese superbikes, for instance. Plus their bikes may not be stolen as much either. Fewer claims equals more dollars for Progressive.

Plus the ad is selling insurance and not motorcycles. Product placement in movies or TV shows is another thing though.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I figured as much, wondering how much they paid was sort of rhetorical.

I only see this commercial during MotoGP broadcasts, but I was surprised by it too. It's good marketing. Progressive is one of the largest employers in this area and I'm glad to see them doing so well. Their founder is an alum of the high school where I work. I really like the guy.

I think it's run during any type of motorcycle racing broadcast. I see it on WSBK and the AMA road racing shows. Don't know if it runs during moto-x.

I can't stand that chick in their commercials.

If they offered me free insurance I'd probably turn it down just because of her.




This commercial on the other hand.  I laughed my ass off.   ;D
