Title: Amazing German motorcycle safety innovation
Post by: Carstarphen on July 31, 2010, 09:38:12 AM
If you will watch this news story, you will see why I always keep at least one German motorcycle. German engineering and technology are seriously special! Watch and learn. The pretty German newsgirl also adds a lot to the news video clip of this innovative technology.  There's an English translation in subtitles.  I'm sure that BMW will pick it up based on the final demonstration of this safety system:

Geoff, I just did an oil change on my GT and I am really pissed at BMW. Their shop manual requires removal of the kick stand mount and gear shift lever to get at the oil filter. (I figured out a different way.) I've been riding just the Duc lately while my GT seat is off to Russell. The Monster is an easy maintenance chore compared to the new beermers. The sun is coming up shortly and I'm off for a breakfast ride on mine. It's been great fun to ride lately. I just can't tour on it.
