"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.

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
Rob from CMU AUGUST 31, 2014
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!
Lily B from Wisc. APRIL 24, 2014
Great response to the frustrated man. Made his day.

Loved that video!
Greg H. from Ft. Lauderdale, FL MARCH 27, 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.
Paula Hunt from Carrollton, TX JANUARY 23, 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.
Colleen S from Eureka, CA DECEMBER 31, 2011
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!
Walter T from Irvington, NJ MARCH 22, 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
Jan A from Glendale AZ JANUARY 12, 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
George Winston from Southern California JANUARY 11, 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
Jack S from Burbank, California JANUARY 10, 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
Dan E from Peoria, AZ DECEMBER 31, 2010
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.
Gary H from Clarksville, TN NOVEMBER 10, 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.
Martin S. from Lovingston, Virginia JUNE 9, 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.
AH from Griffin, GA MAY 13, 2010
I love your TV spots. Keep it up.
Rachel A. from Denver, CO FEBRUARY 25, 2010
Yes! You can request a free DVD for your cadets from the Values.com homepage (bottom left).
David R. from Tacoma, WA 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.
J.B. from Chicago, IL DECEMBER 16, 2009
Absolutely the best ad campaign ever produced by anyone, anywhere.
Marcel M from New York, NY OCTOBER 26, 2009

I sat watching Biker and realized tears were creeping down my cheek. Thank you for being.
Merry W. from Texas AUGUST 12, 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.
Rennie B. from Canada FEBRUARY 13, 2008
Biker sends a great message on many levels and the whole premise of this Foundation gives me hope for the future.

These videos really, really touch me. They really opened my eyes. Thank you!
Tom P. from Little Rock, Arkansas USA JANUARY 1, 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.
Michael U. from Green Hill, Rhode Island USA SEPTEMBER 13, 2007
It is things like this that will save the world.
Peace.
Gus S. from Dallas, Texas USA SEPTEMBER 4, 2007
Maybe the best one. Some variation of this happens in America more often than we realize-this one captures it just right.
Maija J. from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA AUGUST 26, 2007
I love the billboards, please keep making them:)
