Default Naked bobby on a bike

Fair play to Lancashire Police for doing this:

http://www.itv.com/news/granada/2013...ed-for-safety/

I was hoping it would be a female officer when I clicked the link but it's a hairy-arsed bloke. There are probably very good reasons why a lady couldn't do it.

about bloody time. i don't think most bikers need educating on how dangerous biking is but a lot of car drivers just seem to be oblivious to what's going on around them and look no further than 10ft in front.

only trouble is the same morons who don't spot the bikes in the first place wont see the billboard or if they do they will more than likely loose what little concentration they already have looking at the naked man on a bike.

i remember MFI in edinburgh had to blacken out their windows as car drivers were looking at the stuff in the windows and as a result were crashing. once blacked out the rate went almost to zero.

It'd be ironic if some female motorist crashed whilst ogling this.

I nearly staggered into the road in Denmark the other week. The reason being an advert on the side of the bus as a photo of a pair of **ts, with some indecipherable foreign text underneath it. I'm not being sexist when I say "a pair of **ts"; there was no arms, stomach, neck or rest of the torso in shot, just the appendages mentioned.

Have a look at the write up in the local rag from the other day as it includes a couple of comments. Some funny, some damn stupid.

Guess which one is mine?

Is it against the law to fit and use ice cream van chimes?

Would be great on the M62 each morning.
