Yokozuna yourself with the 2006 Goldwing

Did you know the 2006 Goldwing has airbags?

Why, yes. I have seen many airbags on Goldwings. Some decent folk too.

Had to look it up. Which way were you going with this?

Um, how do I put this... It's like you're stuffing your face in a giant butt. You'd think they would have had the tact not to make the thing flesh colored.

How much does an 08 with airbag cost new? $24,349.

All this and its still a motorcycle that weighs as much as my car.

Yes, but so many fun and exciting buttons to push to distract you from the boring road ahead! :omg:

Where'd I park my scooter? :grin:

A friend of mine rides Goldwings....I just refer to his ride as a 2 wheeled car.

The Boy calls them "half a Civic"

doesn't that bike have a reverse gear? I guess you need it to get that rolling Lay - z - boy moving

You're the only person that got it! I ran across the pic on Google Images and my first thought was WHY IS THERE A GIANT INFLATABLE ASS ON THAT MOTORCYCLE?

Imagine the hilarity of a crash...Safety butt, deploy!

LMAO! :grin:

The current term in wrestling circles is the "Stink face." Now, you may feel free to resume your normal lives.

Huh. WTF does an airbag do for me in a motorcycle crash?

then you go over the windscreen instead of through it, lol

The airbag stops your legs from being severed as your torso goes over the bar and your legs go under. The airbag also helps keep you on the bike and near the ground (vs airborne).

The Goldwings ride amazingly well for their size. They are a lot of fun up a mountain pass or on a long highway! That said, they are 3/4 of a Civic.

The idea of the airbag is that you go into the airbag, scrub off a lot of speed quickly, and then you bounce off of whatever you hit with a lot less force. You can learn all about it here: YouTube Honda Airbag Story

Okay, I guess bike airbags are a pretty sound idea. I like how Honda bills itself as the "leading manufacturer of motorcycles in the world". Methinks others might beg to differ.

This video randomly came up along with the Honda one. It's so brief that it's almost funny. Then you think about it. Not funny at all. I hope the girl lived.

If Honda's doing airbags, then isn't it about time for some seatbelts or something?
