I figure it was a stunt rider ,but did he really throw that bike down? If he did I wonder what they did with the bike after they did the commercial.
hey lance how about I shove my obnoxious piece of junk right down your throat? By the way I have a 58, and a 61 in my stable if they are such junk how come those two old bikes are still running strong?

You mean there's no "Making of the Allstate" <some descriptor here> "Commercial" on YouTube?
In any case, it's likely that they did, although much can be accomplished w/CGI these days. If you take into account how much they spend to run the commercials on TV, the cost of a custom motorcycle ($50K to $100K) is a drop in the bucket.

Hyper Dog gets my money! The bike probably cost way less than the film & sound crew, extra workers, stunt man, temp, and regular cast cost to show up on site.

Yes, a pro stunt rider could toss a bike with little damage, then they fix it and give it back to the company they rented it from.

No, they done that with computers, they would wreck a nice bike like that.

I hope so--those Harleys are obnoxious pieces of junk anyway. If I were rich I'd buy and crush everyone of them.
