I thought it was a cool add. Have you ever seen the MTV cribs of Fabio's house? Dude had a kitchen with 15 bikes in it. It ended with him riding a wheelie up the street on a CR if I remember right. That add is probably his house and his bikes. For real.

I did know Fabio rides. I remember he was pretty well known as a rider at the time of the ad. I just thought it was a funny ad in hind site and has being a bit sarcastic in my post. I imagine it is a big win for a MX company to have a "mainstream" celebrity in their ad. Even if he is best known for getting middle age house wives all steamed up.

Your right, what were they thinking buying a 97 or 98 Cr 250 ? The worst bike Honda ever put out.

I worked there back when those jerseys were out and had a ton of them. They were made out of 100% cotton and were really thick and hot as hell.

On a Fabio note......I was at Chaparral one year right before Christmas and he was there doing Christmas shopping I assume. He literally had about 10 shopping carts full of stuff. He had a bunch of employees helping him push them through the store and loading them up. The guy really is into moto.

Fabio did the ads in exchange for products for his bikes. If FMF had to pay him for the ads it would have been thousands more then what the products cost. BTW the chick in the ad was his gf

At :55, the sweetest kitchen you ever seen. At 2:38 Fabio riding wheelies.

Fabio owns more motocross bikes than everyone on this board combined.
