I read in Time magazine today that Honda is going to start equipping Gold Wings with an airbag.A motorcycle with an airbag seems a little scary to me.Any comments?
some times the light's all shining on me
other times I can barely see

An airbag on a bike is the answer to a question that was never asked.

Looks a little biological, don't it? They're even more biological-looking when viewed from the rider's position.

I thought they started doing that with this years (2006 models) bikes. Absolutley silly if you ask me. But, the gold wing is not a motorcycle, it is a car on two wheels.

I wonder how long before they start using the crash restraint system that was in the Robocop series? That one encased driver and passengers in open cell foam.

OH SORRY, Mike!
You're talkin' airbags here....NOT WINDBAGS!
I thought somebody was tryin' to get MY attention here!!!
I'll just slink away now.
Wait a MINUTE HERE! "Surprisingly"....I have an OPINION on this matter TOO!!!
COME ON! We're talkin' MOTORCYCLES HERE, D*MN IT!
What's with this SAFETY CRAP, ANYWAY???!!!
These things are SUPPOSED to be DANGEROUS!!!
Cheers,
Dwight
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Hey Grump! Now, this might be just me(and I think by now, we ALL know how NUTS I am)...but from the pictures I've seen of him on this website, this kind'a reminds me of a certain Moderator we have stationed in the Midlands of Ol' Blighty.  WAY TO GO, ADEY!!! Leading us ALL into motorcycling's FUTURE!   Cheers, Dwight (actually...after the diet I hear he's on, I fully expect to find him at less than 30psi when he arrives to our shores later this year)
