Don't know if anyone watched the Rose Parade in Pasadena yesterday, but Lehman Trikes sponsored a float in this years parade. To me, it was pretty odd. Normally the parade floats are sponsored by large mega corporations. The float had a trike made out of flowers and you have to wonder who they were targeting as their market group. It will either payoff big time for them or be a bust. Maybe spending some of the MOCO's money. :nixweiss:

A Trike made out of FLOWERS??? Sheeeez, my Jester is in the garage hiding in shame. I will speak to it and try and explain advertising executives (come to think of it, I don't think I could explain them).
Ride Safe.
