Wonder if there's an option for a Nitrous Oxide feature to ease the pain after impact

They make these things called cars that offer all around protection but jam up traffic, get poor gas milage and emit loads of emissions into the atmosphere. They come in lots of different colors and sizes depending on your needs and style. You can even get a thing called a truck to haul stuff.

All true, except my car gets more MPGs than my bike does:

Jetta TDI: 42-45mpg
Bonnie: 35-40mpg

They're both hopped up, and both fun, but the bike wins every time.

This model also doubles as a rain suit.

See a safety post mostly slammed

It is a little odd but the one thing it has going for it is the neck protection the collar portion is really a good idea the rest i do not know, the neck injury risk on a bike is huge, second only to the diffuse brain injury for the no lid crowd. This is kind of a hans device for a bike, really not a bad idea if it works...ask N0.3, oh wait you can't.

If they're that good, why aren't they being put into racing leathers? They'd certainly get a good testing there. & I'd love to see Rossi & co. get turned into the michelin man as they're getting dumped into the kitty-litter (talk about adding insult to injury). & I also predict that high-speed impact jacket wipe-outs are going to be the next big extreme sport for urban stunt riders. Having said all that though, I'd probably wear one.

My brother in law has worn one in the past. Think his is actually one thats made for the military not motorcycle specific. Lightweight but the downside is it looks very hot to wear.
