BMW's Uncrashable Motorcycle?

Not Exactly "UnCrashable" but still interesting.

Seems the frame can operate independently of the bike and is computer controlled. So if you are going to go over it should be able to bend and flex the bike to get you to go straight again.

A 'blue screen of death' would take on a new meaning.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

I am sure with a little practice, I could crash anything.
