Kawashima-san you really need to ask your Doctor for different medication.
High center of gravity will not help with stability and some of those mounting points for the 'cage' look technically challenging.
Only thing similar I've seen is the bike used on the Keith Code videos. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Both of Air bag for GL1800, hit-air riding jacket don't seem to give enough protection for such crashes.
Motorcycle needs crushable zone if I deeply think of it. ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

I would also like to know how your idea will deal with leaving,a few corners in the way to work I can get my knee down, that ring just gonna get in the way |
I have a cage and use it for commuting, I had TDM but I was scared for being killed by such accidents and sold it, I bought 125 again 1 month later. I've recently seen such accidents around me, rider got injured and the SMIDSY driver doesn't seem to be regretting him/herselves, I'm really worrying about such drivers and can't enjoy riding on the road.
I wasn't thinking carefully about leaning a lot about the idea. ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

I agree that my obs is poorer than experienced riders like BCF members. I think riding big bike again will surely kill myself. I will stick to less than 125cc. ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

No, because we're not idiots.. well most of us aren't. |
Speak for yourself. I'm an idiot...where can I get one of these?
If you think too hard about anything you do, you would have to quit - cycling, walking along the street, climbing stairs. People get killed in all sorts of silly situations. Stop thinking so much, or give bikes up altogether. People who ride bikes have usually weighed the extra risks associated, and decided it's worth that extra level of risk. If you are scared all the time whilst riding, you may even be putting yourself more at risk, because of the way you will react to things. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Has the OP ever thought deeply about anything??
Your invention cunningly combines the lack of manouvrability of the car with the exposure to the weather of the motorcycle.

You forgot to take into consideration that other road users who see this contraption will be laughing hysterically at you. Their eyes will fill with tears and they will lose control of their vehicles - it will be chaos!
You would be much better off installing the motorbike inside a 4 meter diameter Zorbing Ball.

I think your post is right for me. I'm more inclined to bicycle, I can take extra risk for riding bicycle(which keeps my health) but not for motorcycle(which is not so important). ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250
