USA: Golden Gate Bridge Free For Motorcycles?

Golden Gate bridge Toll
#Fail #GoldengateBridge #Toll - It looks like that by trying to save money, the operators of the Golden Gate Bridge are losing money. They installed a new automated toll system for world's most famous bridge, firing their toll booth operators in the process. This way they hoped to save money on payrolls.

However, they did not anticipate that their automated system had one "slight" problem.... it can not "see" motorcycles .... in other words, motorcycles ride through the toll gates and the system is supposed to automatically scan the license plates and send you the bill. But it does not recognize that there is a vehicle passing through, so no invoice.

Maybe next time companies will understand that saving money on payrolls is maybe not such a smart idea. In the mean time, enjoy the free ride brothers & sisters.

#Indian #HarleyDavidson #Advertisement - Here is a really good TV commercial from Indian Motorcycle… They are going to release and launch their latest motorcycle, the 2014 Indian Chief in Sturgis in August, and they made this pretty good advertisement.

Using Willie Nelson's famous song "On the Road Again", 80% of the video when you watch it, you would think it is an ad for Harley-Davidson. It is only at the last moment that you will see that they are making fun of the eternal enemy.

Priceless.
