Harley Davidson motorcycles are known for their loud sound,
and this is by design: it helps other drivers know when you’re there, so they
won’t run you over. But there’s a silly horror movie from 1963 called: Day of the Triffids, immortalized in the
lyrics to the Rock Horror Picture Show’s
song: “Science Fiction/Double Feature”* (with the lyrics: “And I really got
hot, when I saw Janette Scott, fight a triffid that spits poison and kills.”), that might make a fun ad for this idea.
So this ad could show a Harley Davidson rider on his loud
bike alerting other drivers to his presence, avoiding accidents, and the
announcer says: “A loud motorcycle can save your life everyday.” Then we see
the biker driving alone down a scenic route, and a bunch of triffids attack,
and the announcer says: “Unless it’s The
Day of the Triffids…” (Triffids are attracted by sound in the movie.) Then
the announcer says: “That’s when Harley Davidson helmets and leathers will keep
you safe.” And then we see the biker kicking over triffids and driving off into
the sunset.
This is The Day of the
Triffids:
(I know: it’s an old movie. I’m just having fun here.)
* Here’s the song, as if you don’t know it already (Great
song!):
