Devoid of tacky voiceovers, over-used quick cuts, and general sensationalism, it is good to see every now and then an ad agency that let’s the product do the talking. Thus, in the interest of parody, I will do the same, except for the quick note that this is clearly a European/Japanese advert since such “wreak-less endangerment” of dragging knee pucks on public roads would land Honda in court quicker than a hot cup of coffee.

The 2009 season has started. Well…sort of. The champagne only stopped flowing moments ago for Valentino Rossi, but work for the 2009 season waits for no man. With more rider and team shakeups than the Sunday morning Times word search, the 2009 MotoGP teams (sans Tech3) have begun shaking out their new bikes, and for some, their new riders.
