Crashproof Motorcycle...real or not?

hahah

what a great setup too. was expecting something completely diffrent
 
A HUD would be kick ass, built in GPS, weather information/ road conditions and radar detector! Think Iron Man.
 
Just goes to show that all the technology in the world isn't worth a damn if you get complacent.

I mean, people carry on about how good it is to have ABS, Electronic Traction Control, Electronic Stability Assist, and all the other electronic gizmos that modern vehicles have... but NOTHING can substitute for driver awareness, experience and skill.

The only thing electronic on my truck is the ignition and radio. I'm all the better for it.

damn straight!


haha that video kicked ass.
 
That vid made me a little sick. I've had friends throw their bikes down the road and have known riders who've lost their lives on a bike. I have quit watching crash vids years ago because of it. I wasn't expecting to see that in this video.

Ever drive a high perf auto with paddle shifters??? If not, then, you all are missing a memorable experience. I love the march of technology. Back up cams, GPS, satellite radio, built in WiFi, roll over sensors, traction control, all wheel drive, sequential gear boxes, speed deployed spoilers, etc. If I could afford high end autos, you can bet your ass I'd be drivin' 'em!
 
I burst out laughing out loud.

I was T-boned by a car on my left, and 5 years ago I was T-boned again on the right. I even saw the guy sitting there, waiting at the stop sign. As soon as I was in front of him, he mashed the gas. Both episodes too 9 months to get better.

Personally, I feel like you need to have a sense of houmor- no matter how black. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances.

isnt it shocking how much some of us love our sports?

even after breaking all my fingers (5 of them twice), cracked ribs, fractured ankle, torn ligaments in wrist, and 2 concussions, i still find myself pushing the limits of my body and machine on my bicycles.
