    If they would have called me before shooting this commercial, ... I would have had my Max painted-out in Old Spice graphics and Logo's and swapped them for the Bike they drowned in this TV Spot for Old Spice.

    I can see the Pitch Meeting for the shoot going something like this:

    "Then the guy lands in a Hot Tub ... The Hot Tub collapses and he's sitting on a Harley~Davidson"

    "No, no, no! This ain't a Harley~Davidson commercial. Use some old bike that is nondescript. No Harley's"

    "See if Dudley will let us use his bike."

    "He's not in L.A. He went to New York to sign his divorce papers.
    Boy, did he get screwed. She got the house, kids, cars, boat and dog; and all he got was that old motorcycle."

    "O.K. Just use Dudley's old bike. We'll get him a new something."

    Hopefully it was CGI. I hate seeing classic bikes and cars trashed for TV.

    I'm not sure about this second one, but the first one was actually done in one shot - only the background of one scene and the diamonds were CGI. Check it out.
