    New crash suit?

    Recently, a good friend (who will remain anonymous) unfortunately crashed his bike and it resulted in injury. Speaking to him recently, he sounded pretty down. So I feel that it is my personal responsibility to start protecting this individual in an effort to avoid such turmoil in his life. So after minutes of searching the internet, I have found a good alternative for this, not so young, man. Maybe he can invest in this device and stay far from harms way in the near future?

    It is important to remember that:
    1. you cannot wear gloves
    2. You must wear orange (although KTM does not endorse this product)


    Link

    The article is very convincing. Just look how it starts out, "I’m one of those guys who thinks motorcycles are really cool, but I don’t ride one."

    So to my anonymous friend, be safe.

    Is that real or B.S.? The video is just computer graphics.

    I know there are some real setups similar in function. Just don't blow up into a big sphere...

    There is no way you are going to protect this individual from harm.
    That is thier responsibility only. I appauld sp your effort, but in the end, each person needs to make thier own choices. Some win, some lose, this is life.
    * Bash, Bashasaurus, Ms Bash, his neighbors or friends are not responsible for any incidents, accidents, or accusations, that might result from you being squidish, squid like, squirting ink, or waving your non-covered tentacles about in a squidy fashion. Nor is he or his associates responsible for any citations as a result of you hanging with SoCo. Any attempt to coerce, blame, question, or pin your loser-riffic behavior on any of us, or those who are considered us for the night, as well as people we like, to include Salma Hayek and Nicky Hayden, among others, will result in a profanity stricken series of post that mock and taunt you incessantly, as well as many of us adding such insults to our signature lines. Avoid taking SoCo before bedtime. Do not use if you experience faintness, dizziness, inverness, difficulty urinating or blotchy skin. If I steal a line, quote, avatar or image from a post you make on the internet, you're not getting credit.*

    Bash,
    It was meant as a joke.

    If I could repack it and use it multiple times I would buy that.

    Yeah, you may want to look into one (or nine) of these.

    You've been pretty good lately, right? just blown up motors?
