Honda Scooters ad with Lou Reed (1985)
(lemmy.nz)
That's some cassette futurism right there
That caption is terrible, but it's better than "Scoot on the wild side"
That's a wide stance my guy
Still my favorite scooter design of all time
I had a previous gen 125cc scooter so, of course, that tickles my fancy.
Pre-emptive satire of Akira.
... no, hang on, the manga started in 1982.
So badass that he has to stand next to it instead of sitting on it. Lol
This would have done numbers as a Segway ad
Always wear a helmet and eye protection, Lou, you big rebel you.
because you must be fucked up by drugs and alcohol not road accident
I love how they tried so hard to make this giant Dust Buster look cool.
And it paid off, because it does look pretty cool.
They went with red colored plastic instead of the Dust Buster's usual cream - that's so you know it's cool.
Tryna be a dirt devil
Scoot, sc-scoot, sc-scoot
