Hey! Hey! Stop that! My sister-in-law and her husband are lawyers and..........Wait! I see what you mean.

Never mind!

 

The ad agencies probably use an unidentifiable bike in order to avoid paying for the use of the bike.
I'm sure that the MOCO, and others, wants a little $$omething if you're going to use THEIR product to pimp your own product.
JMHO.

How about lawyers with photoshopped in bikes, LOL...

 

I don't know if I should admit it, but I'm a lawyer and for a second job I run a video/film production company. Let me say from both hats that I wear you cannot put a brand name, trademark, or copyrighted material in an ad without express permission (unless you catch something in stock footage that fits into a specific category - please don't ask!). I've gone to seminars on photoshop just to figure out how to take logos out of photos so I can try to market them commercially.

On the original topic: I agree that money and taste do not go together. Then again, in this market I know lawyers coming out of law school that are looking at salaries in the $30k range... So it appears that having the title "lawyer" doesn't exactly equal money anymore.

 

i'm a lawyer and would not put my bike in an add . most of these guys are trying to get some credability w/ the biker community.most likely to try to get potential bike wreck cases since they usually have serious injuries involved. i've was riding before i started to practice law 16 years ago and imo most guys w/ these adds probably dont even ride that often.its basically a marketing ploy,that said i also dont think my bike is weird
