    Honda just stated that they are working on a seat belt to go along with the airbag they have intoduced. Supposely a computer will decide if you need to part with your bike in a wreck and eject you and the seat at which time the airbag will deploy and give a ride of your life on yer backside.
    Now I don't know about youall but the idea of sliding down the interstate at 80 miles per on my backside strapped to a motorcycle seat is a little to much , and no brakes either.
    How about a jet fighter type seat that ejects you straight up and deploys a parachute ? at least you can glide a chute to a landing other than the front of a Peterbuilts grill.:roflmao:

    I'm working on a patent for my Michelin Man suit. As soon as you get on the seat the suit arms. When you drop the bike and your ass comes off the seat at more than 30 mph the suit inflats in a half a nano second. Then all you have to worry about is if you remembered to attach the Bounce Limiting Strap to the bike so that you don't bounce from Texas to Oregon!

    Both worthy ideas. However, can you imagine what would happen when it deployed while under a bridge or electrical wires? Ouch!

    The suit with be made of 100 mil rubber so you'd be insulated from the wires. Brudges aren't a problem either, you would just bounce off!

    I think all these ideas oughta be forwarded to Disney animators and a cartoon be made. We could call it "Bouncing Bikers From Hell".
