Just noticed this Ducati / Xerox ad online today.   

Maybe I have no marketing sense or sense of imagination, but it just seems LAME. Why is the dude in the copy room doing a wheelie?

2008 848 - R.I.P. (by delivery truck)
2006 S2R 800 Dark - SOLD

Ah, that makes a little more sense now.  When I saw the original Internet picture above, I couldn't tell he was holding anything, as the stuff he's holding is red/white and blends with his suit, so it just looked like some dude randomly doing a wheelie in the office.  I guess either way that's not entirely odd. Anyone here ever do wheelies at the office?

I leave work occasionally in wheelie fashion, yeah

but anyways....we were in a pub the other day and that wind tunnel ad came on. At first, I was thinking....since when does DUCATI advertise on TV? Then realized the xerox.

Cool to see the sponsorship is working for both sides.
