Booooy

My .02 is

Looks neat but: I am not paranoid enough to worry about it. When riding I always wear my boots and jeans (Levi's) and at least a t-shirt with my gel harley fingerless gloves.....thats it, weather permitting of coarse.

I dumped a bike when young and instinct will make you use your hands so gloves I use....levi's are tough jeans and saved my *** so I like em. But when I have start worrying about air bags in my coat its time for me to give it up....I might as well just take the truck....

or buy a wing because they have an air bag system to (I think?)

Now dont get me wrong I am a safety conscience rider but, I feel, that by the time I strap a helmet on, coat with airbag (and pants soon to follow I bet), boots, gloves, ear plugs (wind will damage hearing), and every other safety gizmo I might as well fire up the truck.
