Wow... Who knew that someone would actually make this product?

Now let the thread after thread start on how we should and how we should not wear these.

I can barely remember to put my kickstand up. I would never remember to clip that thing. I do think they are onto something though.

Default This comes from the ski outfitters

Those air bladders that inflate in case of avalanche. I thinks it's a great idea. Only problem is, like 1000hurricanes, I sometimes forget to lift the sidestand. Darn sure I'd forget the ripcord at least once. Pretty expensive error. probably be pretty funny to watch from the car behind you.

Someone sent me a video of a goldwing with airbags a couple of years ago ..I thought BS . .but after seeing it I guess it's actually an option.

To each his own.

I want to meet the person that actually field tested that thing. I want to see it in real action at 60 mph.

Well...I'll be damned...someone actually figured out how to bubblewrap their world.

Man, I can't wait to see the first ones pull into our li'l dive on bike night...watch 'em forget to unhook...and, puff out like the Pillsbury dougboy.
