Do you think this type of bumper for motorcycle will save riders' lives from crashes?
Out side ring is made of steel covered with rubber,
stays are springs plus dumpers.

Kawashima-san you really need to ask your Doctor for different medication. Shocked Smile

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.

Motorcycle is a fun tool, but once you were hit directly by a SMIDSY cars or trucks, it's so dangerous.
I like riding but I don't wanna be killed by SMIDSY careless drivers.

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.

It you are worried get a cage.

If you're going to take up that much room, you might as well add an extra set of wheels and seating for 4.

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.

Aren't BCF members scared for being killed by such careless drivers at all?

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.

Speak for yourself. I'm an idiot...where can I get one of these? Laughing

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.

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.
The worst of both worlds, nice work! Laughing

All it needs is an added sidecar, to add bad handing into the mix

If you make it spin, will it act like a gyroscope, or better yet, a helicopter? Thinking

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.

(nobody mention carbon monoxide, right - the bastard made me wet my pants!)

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).
