the machine looks cool from the side with the stretched end!
but what is the strange thing underneath the bike. that’s somehow extremely disturbing!

Wow, pretty unattractive. I keep trying to imagine a rider on it, but I just can’t bring it into focus. Awkward. Oh well, maybe you could slip some knobbies on it and hit a few hillclimb events… what’s up with that stretched-out rear-end?

…and then a distress beacon is triggered sort of like On-Star inside the climate-controlled helmet with eye’s up display and sterophonic communications center and I hear, “Captain Andrew, we see you’ve experienced an event, the airbags deployed and your back mounted jetpack discharged taking you to an altitude of 100 meters and, with the beak-away handlebar controls, set you down safely within 50 meters of your now burning lithium battery creating carcinogenic gases which are illegal in the State of California… we’ve contacted the authorities, do you need further assistance?” …all possible technologies… I can’t wait Igor! Someone’s Ural is missing a perfectly good pair of shocks…

Interesting ideas, though I don’t know about the night-vision GPS overlay. What, are we going to be staring at our instruments after dark now?

Oh, and the wheelbase looks strange. Stretched, yes, but also really terrible clearance. Hello scraping over “sleeping policemen.”

Have a look at the link Dietmar posted -

- scroll down and see the inflated airbags, and then tell me it is not a suggestive picture.

Cool design & cool tech, and this from someone whose idea of a modern bike is a ’76 XS650. (Pushrod; the Jaguar Mk. 10 I want has full leathers)

Ok so I don’t know what a Neru jacket is, but I like the design and I think trying to incorporate some auto features makes sense. As you get older, pain sucks more. I’d love cruise control on every cycle in America because of all the long, primarily straight highways we have. Just my opinion. The green weenies are in charge here and must be placated, otherwise it’ll all end up being “public transportation”
