Kinda sneaky, the motorcycle isn't visible in the first view to the right. Still, it would be *great* to have that shown here. Too bad we don't have some organization in the US that works to promote motorcycle safety. |

Amen, that needs to be aired here. Heck, I say air it during the Superbowl to get as many people as you can to see it. |

That's a must be seen video! It did not play for me under Mozilla but I pasted the link into IE and it did play. I'm sending that link to some folks... Jack |

What's underlying, and being tested as we speak, as reported in MCN this week. Spy in the sky, satellite tracking devices that slow motorcycles down if they go beyond the speed limit. Number plate recognition systems that can tell if your road fund license is paid, you're insured, have a valid license, and you are not wanted for a crime or questioning! Coming to a town near you within the next 2 to 9 years. Rocket |

Rocket Hopefully they won't regulate the private racetracks with that stuff! We have to have fun somewhere. |

Wow...It's been a while that a video on the net almost made me sick. Those sounds made me wince and close my eyes. The sounds brought back way to many memories of my wreck. Excellent video. If more folks took that extra second to look........... |

It turns my stomach, even knowing what's coming. A little too real. Even if they did cheat a little having the guys head in the way so you can't see the bike approaching, it gets the message across. |

Remember the Radio DJ that PO all of the socal bikers send him the link Rocket Said: Spy in the sky, satellite tracking devices that slow motorcycles down if they go beyond the speed limit. Number plate recognition systems that can tell if your road fund license is paid, you're insured, have a valid license, and you are not wanted for a crime or questioning! welcone to Onstar, we have it on our autos as a pay for service now. Jesse James said that he did not like "computerized vehicles" for that and other reasons, the only good is that the bike may be able to be traced if stolen. or call for help if you wreck in a rural area Rocket: with cameras EVERY WHERE how do you pull over and pee? with out a ticket, do you have to go to the french embasy, and use the garden?} |
