Anything that has to do with safety features, im for. 65% of all motorcycle accidents are front collision with a automobile. Sure it would be nice to see a lot of riders life be saved rather than going through the window. I personally thing it should be a federal law that all motorcycles have ABS & Airbags with mandatory safety gear. So many lives could be saved .

Impressive video. The comments ref making drivers nowadays feel invinicble has some merit too I suppose. A crash isn't something to be feared by most drivers anymore with all this safety equipment, etc. Back in the days of steel dashboards and no seatbelts perhaps people thought a moment what that would feel like in a crash and weren't quite so fearless? lol

don't want one don't want no abs either. riding a bike is not safe if I wan to be safe I will just stay home and wait for an earth quake they should outlaw those things or maybe design a suit that will inflate in cas of one or a tonado or huricain, getting real tired of being saved from me.

Oh yes! By all means! If we won't do it ourselves, let's make laws forcing us to. F*ckin great.
