R. Lee Ermey, last seen in Geico's "Sarge" spot, which asked if former drill sergeants make terrible therapists, is back in another commercial venture—this time for Victory Motorcycles. Ermey is affectionately known as Gunny, not only because of his role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket but because that's his actual rank in the Marine Corps. And he has the smack talk to prove it. Gunny shipped out to Sturgis, the motorcycle rally of motorcycle rallies, to challenge bikers to take a Victory ride with him.
