Honda's self-balancing bike stands alone | Fox News Pretty cool technology, I wonder how it'll effect the motorcycle market in the years to come. |
If they would only come up with a trail model, I would never fall down again......?

I put ABS brakes, traction control, GFI electrical plugs, safety matches, and now self-balancing bikes in the category of "defeating Darwin's law". No wonder society is loaded with mouth-breathing zombies.
:D:D:D |
Exactly TNC, all that + airbags, seat belt laws, tobacco usage disapproval laws, cars that parallel park themselves, upcoming autonomous driving autos, the strict DUI, DWI laws ( Hell you can't even ride in the back of a truck anymore!) all serve to upend "survival of the fittest" as well as "culling of the herd".. Back in my day, if you were an "inferior specimen" driving drunk with a truck bed full of peeps, everyone died when you hit a tree. Thus, statistically lessening the danger to society - But now those peeps are living and growing up to adulthood in the basement of their parents home, etc...
Just kidding, there is nothing more precious than the "Runt of the Litter".. |

:D:D:D What they really need is a bike that will pick itself up after you do fall. |

Not for me, Another case of technology misapplied just for the sake of "because it can be done ". Deal with it all the time at work. Company's like to showcase this kind of stuff because the marketeers think the next generation will embrace it. Trading real world sensory skill and feedback for simulated assisted interaction.... do we want to ride motorcycle or play computer game ?

Based on the current youth - computer games!
