VAbusa had it right.... this is a marketing company.
The soda company has purchased 4 of these bikes and they have been completely redone to displayt the graphics of the company with the sole purpose of advertising. If any of you have ever been to a, NHRA race or been in the pit area of a race, its basically the same concept...put up a stand, or in our case, the VAN we will be travelling in, gice away free products and memorabilia from the company, and just have fun basically. Its pleasing to know that the company is using the Busa to reach a more diverse audience, actually targeting motorcycle enthusiasts. (im sure the harley guys wont be comin to my area). Not only will we be hitting major events like NASCAR, but we are also targeting local hot spots for bikes like bike week's, bike night's at Hooters, etc. No circus act on this trip...after numerous conversations with the comany putting on this tour, they really got their $hiD together over there!
Looks like its gonna be a wild ride, but very safe and collected. We have to ride within the limits of the law and no stunts! Which doesnt bother me too bad, i mean, its not my bike to be stunting in the first place!
Oh, and NO, we unfortunately do not get to keep the bike. The soda company will be keeping 3 bikes, and selling one off, and they informed me that the riders will have first crack at buying it when the tour is over
Somethin kewl to add, this company has also built the "Coors Light Silver Bullet" love train which will debut in Houston Texas later this month. It will be on a nine month tour around the US do similar promotional work. The 18wheeler that was converted to a train has everything from plasma tv's to a flowing beer waterfall on the inside of the trailer!
Like i said earlier, as soon as i get there monday and they give me my bike and all my new riding gear, ill be snappin pics and postin em up!
BACHARLES, if i had a ORG tee shirt man, id be sportin it every chance i got! Anyone got any ideas where i can get one like super fast?? I fly in 5 days, so its got to get here QUICK!! Maybe RSD or CAP can hook me up with one for advertising pusposes
