Gold Wing Recall... FYI

[opas ride]

I used to thing an airbag on a motorcycle was ridiculous. After I watched the video I changed my mind. Without the bad the rider goes right into the car, with the bag up and over. If those were my two choices I would prefer to go over rather than thru!

Maybe so, but does this type of accident really happen in the real world??..I doubt very often, if at all....JMHO

Uh, the number one multi vehicle "accident" scenario involving motorcycles is when the car turns left in front of the motorcycle and the bike catches the car right front, center or right rear panels.
So, to answer your question, yes.

Kind of hoping he was a joking. Maybe an overdose of inauguration punch.

I have lost more riding brothers to left turn cages than I like to think about, my own little brother hit a van due to a left turn and cost him 2 broken legs. I personally would much rather go "over" then "into" a crash. I would love an air bag on the F6B, but that is just my personal opinion.

Yea great items I agree, but how do you protect yourself from the bubble headed bleach blond soccer mom putting on eyeliner and texting while making a left turn in front of you at the same time? An air bag just might be a life saver IMHO.
