Girls Aloud voted bikers' biggest distraction

New Bennetts survey discovers girl band a big draw for bikers

Girls Aloud - biker eye candy

TOP TOTTY BAND Girls Aloud have been awarded with yet another accolade – they have been named the biggest distraction on the road in the last year by motorcyclists, according to a survey by Bennetts Insurance.

The results reveal over a third (35%) of UK bikers admitted taking their eyes off the road to catch a glimpse of the pop princesses in their recent advertising campaign.

The survey shows the girl band were the top distraction for a second year running, with their campaign for Kit Kat Senses proving as disorientating as the familiar Sunsilk shampoo ad in 2007, when they also topped the study.

In second place was Eva Longoria with 31% for her Magnum ice-cream campaign and getting helmets turning in third was the face (and body) of Triumph Bra range, Louise Redknapp, with 13% of the vote. Despite having a baby girl last year, Myleene Klass continues to make her mark as she models for M&S in fourth position whilst rounding-up the top five is Eva Longoria once again, with her silky brown tresses in her L’Oreal shampoo ads causing a stir amongst 3% of the bikers surveyed.

Hmmm....thats a crap advert to look at, if they were naked, I might actually stop and check it out, but nothing adverts my gaze when I'm riding, peripheral vision is very useful when riding, if something is brought to my attention I stop safely. Anyone who does otherwise, I'm suspecting pre-pubant cunts on scooters that seem to be classified as bikers as the main culprits

Well if they were naked you probably would have to queue and avoid the ambulances. 

Where do they get these surveys from? I've never been asked anything

Well, yet another shock revelation from the journo's

Girls Aloud are fit as fcuk screams the headline

Btw, listed below is the order I'd shag them in

1. Any of them except the ginger one

2. Any of them except the ginger one

3. Any of them except the ginger one

4. Any of them except the ginger one

5. I'd probably have a wank, rather than shag the ginger one

[NZ]Rubberducky
I would probably do the ginger as well.

A-I-S..... +1, The ginger (aka readhead) one is my all time fav , i do get a bit of stick at work for this rather unusual choice but i think she's fit as a flea.

Lets be honest none of us lot would get within a mile of shagging them, so I'd shag any of them, even the ginger one.
