I used to work with a bloke who hit the crash barrier at 90mph on a bike while out for a ride with his son. There is not much left after that.
My father in law was hit from being by a truck while stood still in parked traffic on the M66. He was thrown across the motorway and into the crash barrier while being hit by other cars. I think the air bag and seat belt saved his life that day. Its about time bikes were taken of the road. they are constantly improving the safety of cars with air bags and crumple zones etc - what improvements do you get for bike safety, grippy handle bars?
