Yamaha out designs Honda's Air Bag

At first I thought it was half Waverunner and half Motorcycle.

Because I want a peice of plastic accelerated towards my nuts at 60mph while I'm doing 90mph in the opposite direction. I'll go flying over the handlbars... thanks.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Having unfortunately experiencing a rather violent coming together of my plums and a steel tank, I would take the airbag any day.

Hmm... well, I think we can all agree that the waverunner/scooter thing is ugly at least...

If they want to impress me, they're going to have to produce Side Impact airbags. Now *those* would be cool to have...

Has anyone been hit with an airbag? Those things can break your nose. I think a bitter ex girlfriend designed this :laughing:

The comments that follow the ad are quite funny.

Did you get out riding at all?
