Biker

"Biker" was made using real bikers! These were great guys, good to work with, and nobody had to be taught how to ride -- they were just being themselves. This added an authenticity and texture to the spot that would've been a challenge otherwise. The area used to shoot this spot may look bigger than it is, as it was primarily filmed in a store parking lot. The neighbors were probably a little surprised to look out their windows and see that many bikers, since the first shot needed a lot of them!

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

MUSIC: Get your motor running, head out on the highway. Looking for adventure and whatever comes our way. Yeah Darlin' go make it happen. Take the world in a love embrace…
BIKER: Hey, this phone is taken.
MUSIC: Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space…
OLD WOMAN: Son would this help you?
MUSIC: Like a true nature's child. We were born, born to be wild. We can climb so high…
BIKER: Hey, thanks.
MUSIC: I never wanna die…
BIKER: Hey, I appreciate it.
MUSIC: Born to be wild, Born to be wild.

The biker was having trouble with his motorcycle then he went to the pay phone but didn't any money . The two old women gave him a dime

These videos make me appreciate my parents who drove home the values I try to express. I love these videos.

David from Holbrook, New York, April 25, 2016

True

Billy from San Angelo , April 7, 2016

Great message but two things wrong. 1) a brother NEVER leaves a brother (broken down especially) 2) kick start or not, he was on A downhill. Bump start the bike. If it don't work, then call a friend.

this is a great example

These videos are great examples of civility, character and compassion. All things college students need to see and think about. I hope to play one as my classes begin each day. Thanks!

Rob from CMU, August 31, 2014

Great response to the frustrated man. Made his day.

Lily B from Wisc., April 24, 2014

Wonderful Gift!! Thank You! I use this everyday in my classroom.

Susanne from Tennessee, August 13, 2013

Goes to show we can make a difference if we take time to just care!

luther b from Tennessee, February 26, 2013

We are the Kobuk Middle and High School, we LOVE watching your commercials. We think they are cool. We watch them everyday in the morning to WAKE up and inspire us!

Ms. Harken from Kobuk, December 5, 2012

I <3 it!! :)) thank ouy for the share Chris Klitzing! :)

Sophie Souza from Mass., August 25, 2012

Loved that video!

Chris Klitzing from Vandalia, Il., August 25, 2012

I was down in the dumps most of the morning. Thanks to your daily quotes email for reminding me to visit the site and watch a few commercials and get rejuvenated.

Greg H. from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, March 27, 2012

FBL, you are the "thousands points of light". Thank you for depicting people of all races, ethnicites and nationalities. Your spots and website illustrate the point that good people come in all colors and religions and that we all have a lot more in common than that which makes us different.

Paula Hunt from Carrollton, TX, January 23, 2012

Oddly enough, a friend sent me one of the ads during a time that I was at my lowest in years. I just finished watching them all. Excellent! Made my day. Happy New Year to all!

Colleen S from Eureka, CA, December 31, 2011

I love your spots. They touch my heart very deeply. I look forward to them when I watch TV to break up some of the ugliness. Thank You

Walter T from Irvington, NJ, March 22, 2011

There is no doubt that responding to any negative actions with love and kindness is the right move. Unfortunately,in most cases, the mouth is quicker than the mind

Jan A from Glendale AZ, January 12, 2011

These spots are the best content on TV. Makes it worth sitting through all the rest of the programming just to see these reminders - How can I help your efforts

George Winston from Southern California, January 11, 2011

I have a question. Where is the video called I hope you dance? I can't find it on the video list. Please let me know if this is your video. Thanks, Jack

Jack S from Burbank, California, January 10, 2011

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this series of spots! I truly appreciate the positive messages they portray. Please keep up the good work.

Dan E from Peoria, AZ, December 31, 2010

I've never been so moved by a series of "commercials" in my life. Every one I've seen has put a lump in my throat and a smile on my face. Finally had to let you know how inspiring I've found them.

Gary H from Clarksville, TN, November 10, 2010

Great spots. I am a little kinder and a little more tolerant. Thank you for doing this, reminding me of kindness in the world.

Martin S. from Lovingston, Virginia, June 9, 2010

I love your TV spots. Keep it up.

AH from Griffin, GA, May 13, 2010

Yes! You can request a free DVD for your cadets from the Values.com homepage (bottom left).

Rachel A. from Denver, CO, February 25, 2010

I've viewed many of your spots, and am surprised how great they make me feel. Part of my job is to "pass on" good manners and behavior to our cadets. Is there a chance to get these on a single dvd for the classroom? I'd pay for the chance to show these to the classes.

David R. from Tacoma, WA , February 25, 2010

Absolutely the best ad campaign ever produced by anyone, anywhere.

J.B. from Chicago, IL, December 16, 2009

AWESOME!

Marcel M from New York, NY, October 26, 2009

You are making a difference...all over the world....bless you.

Omar Z. from Cairo, Egypt, September 10, 2009

this is so true and awesome

josh m from dayton, oh, September 4, 2009

Wow, from now on I'll thank even the smallest service I get! Thank you!

Eddynson D. from Los Teques, Venezuela, July 8, 2009

I like this spot, very good.

Christopher B. from Miami, Fl, May 12, 2009

This a very cute and a good way to show gratitude kids.

Kenia L. from MA, March 10, 2009

I love it, I love it, I love it. It's so real!!! :)

Bev M. from Canada, December 28, 2008

Ummm, ummmm-GOOD!!

Jacqueline C from Memphis, TN, October 20, 2008

I sat watching Biker and realized tears were creeping down my cheek. Thank you for being.

Susan H. from North Vancouver, Canada, August 21, 2008

I'm an old lady and crosswalk just blew me away, I just love it. I had to tell everybody. It has been coming on at 5:21 every morning as I get up. It gives me a lift for the day.

Merry W. from Texas, August 12, 2008

Biker sends a great message on many levels and the whole premise of this Foundation gives me hope for the future.

Rennie B. from Canada, February 13, 2008

These videos really, really touch me. They really opened my eyes. Thank you!

Laura H. from Cabot, Arkansas USA, February 8, 2008

The efforts of this Foundation, and whoever it is that sponsors it, demonstrate the definition of altruism. Thank you. I'm honestly moved by the work that you are doing. I'll do my part and pass it on.

Tom P. from Little Rock, Arkansas USA, January 1, 2008

It is things like this that will save the world. Peace.

Michael U. from Green Hill, Rhode Island USA, September 13, 2007

Maybe the best one. Some variation of this happens in America more often than we realize-this one captures it just right.

Gus S. from Dallas, Texas USA, September 4, 2007

I love the billboards, please keep making them:)

Maija J. from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA, August 26, 2007

Super cool!

Marie L. from Florida, USA, August 24, 2007

Just great! Will definitely show this to the kids. And to other dads and moms. And teachers. And...

Joe M. from Hong Kong, August 17, 2007

I don't know whoes vision it is that started this site but thank you for seeing it through. This shows the real potential of mankind.

Kevin J from Northern KY, July 10, 2007

This is something that many people should learn.

Vero R from Morelos, Mexico, June 2, 2007

I love this one! The power of kindness!

Chad W. from Utah, USA, May 17, 2007

Ben J from Lynchburg, Virginia, May 12, 2007

Gave me the chills, it did!
