Help! I can't stop laughing!
Stratoliners, Roadliners, I can't stop laughing!
Has Yamaha hired Bruce McCall? Mmmmm, Bulgemobiles! "Liquidmatic water cooling with H2O additive!", "Versa-Tronic 1-2-3-4 Transmission with Phantom Clutching", "Lid-Master Fedora Matic" automatically puts a crappy "biker" lid on your head, "Roto Tuned Mello-Muff mufflers"!
The new 2006 Yamaha Bulgemobiles - oops, I mean Stratoliner/Roadliners - "TOO GREAT NOT TO BE CHANGED - TOO CHANGED NOT TO BE GREAT!" "SO ALL FIRED NEW THEY MAKE TOMORROW SEEM LIKE YESTERDAY!!!!"
Cruiser guys: I scoff in your general direction.
Fair disclosure: everthing in quotes is quoted from the great Bruce McCall's 1982 book "Zany Afternoons". Sorry, long out of print and no, you can't borrow mine.
Seriously, I suppose Stratoliners & Roadliners should make me think of Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 locomotives, Lockheed Connies, B-36's, Dagmar bumpers and vintage Harleys. But it just makes me laugh.
Hey, MO. Thanks for really making my day! Not only am I going to be in a darn good mood all day, you forced me to get out Bruce McCalls best and laugh my ass off.
And thanks, Yamaha! or is it Star? Young MOrons out there: there is a future for you out there in marketing land! No idea is too dumb, no target market too dense!
