One of my lifelong dreams has been to get a really powerful sports motorcycle. I used to whiz around the city in a small bike of with about 125cc of an engine. It lacked any sort of power but was gearless and extremely economical. Besides it beat being stuck in traffic for hours. However after a potential life threatening accident, my mom made me swear off those for good.

This also meant that ticking that life long dream I just told you about off the Things to do before I die list was going to be more trickier than I expected. Motorcycles are fun, partly because of the thrill and risk that is associated with them.

The Motorcycle Air bag promises to open a whole new chapter in safety without compromising on the thrill. Called as the D-Air suit, The system relies on accelerometers and gyroscopic sensors embedded in the suit, and when a computer determines there's a need, an upper-body airbag is deployed in less than a half a second.

Only the upper half of the body is actually protected, but its this part which is responsible for the most severe injuries as well. The remaning ones only require you to go in for some major surgery and lets say 5-6 months of bed rest. Rest assured I shall be happy to take care of your bike in the duration.
