Guzzimax Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 OK, slightly off topic, but just look at these Norton Commando ads from the early 1970s. Whoever wrote the copy for these ads - Rideability ? Is this referring to the Norton or something else - genius! 5 Link to comment

LowRyter Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) This was a particular favorite. I shared the magazine in 8th grade English class. A rotten friend took an eraser to it and erased her eyes. I was relieved a few months later when they brought the ad back. Edited August 26 by LowRyter 5 2 Link to comment
