me and the R1 are going to be on TV - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I was at the bike shop today to get new tires, the owner came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be in a commercial for the dealer. I said "I guess" and he said to bring my bike out front when they were done with the tires.
So I ride to the front of the store and see a TV crew out there filming a kid on a KTM motocrosser out ripping up the field across the street. they wave me over and tell me they want to get some "action" shots of me riding the R1 up the street. so I make a few passes, with the film crew shooting as I rode by. then they tell me to ride directly at the cameraman and cut to the left and stop in front of them. so I did that a few times. they told me to take off my gear so they could film me "gearing up" then walk over to my bike start it rev it a few times and take off. so thats what I did. it's supposed to air next week sometime on CNN and monday night football out here locally.
I wasn't expecting that today

Given the police trouble you've had, I figured you meant you were going to be on an upcoming episode of COPS.

See if you can get a copy and put it on youtube for us

I was talking to this guy on an R6 they had him do some riding also, I gave him the website so we'll see if he joins.

speaking of cops, I saw some dude running from them down the freeway when I left the dealer, he was hauling butt and there was 5 cop cars chasing him. it looked like a new yellow R6 but I was hard to say he was west bound and I was east bound and like I said he was moving!!!
