Anyone else see the XBs in the new "Friendly's" commercial?

I just saw it, kid and his Dad are in an electronics store and the little boy is watching TV. Two Buells playing cat an mouse (like the videos on www.buell.com) are what's on the screen. It happens fast, but I rewound it and double checked, it's 2 Buells for sure.

A friend of mine told me to rent the last Blade movie (with Wesley Snipes) He said that they have a few scenes where they ride buells. I aint seen it yet though, not really sure what models they are.

Well, no vid clip of the commercial, but when I did a search for it... I found this out. The marketing company for Friendly's... well, I just let you read. "Laughlin/Constable, Inc., with offices in Chicago and Milwaukee, specializes in marketing consumer products and services regionally and nationally. Its annual billings are in excess of $165 million. The agency’s clients include Saks Inc., OshKosh B’Gosh, Harley-Davidson®/Buell Motorcycles, Bridgestone/Firestone and the GUM® brand of oral products."
Well, I guess we know why there were Buells on the TV. lol

As far as Blade Trinity goes, Snipes is on a black 12R and I don't remember what the girl is on but I think it is another R.

Man did they mess up the audio. Sounds more like a Duc. Sign, I was hoping to put the bass speaker to use at that scene.

Two Wheel Tuesday TV Show (Speed Channel) has a Red xb12s Lightning in the Intro scene. Brief glimps of Jay Leno's xb9r during one Tonight Show episode. I heard, not seen, Jesse James running around on a xb?r in one of his shows. There was a show that ran briefly where one of the main characters rode a xb9r, audio was awful too, sounded like a ninja. OK, so I watch too much TV, or have Buell on the brain.

the TV show was Witchblade, and I agree, the ninja sound over was quite a let down everytime she road it. (Yes, a GIRL road the XB!! )
