Uh, no. The way Air bags in motorcycle clothing works is that it detects when you leave the bike; either a tether, or an set of accelerometers built into the garment. You inflate mid air, then hit surrounded by your leather/Kevlar balloon. 

They trigger as soon as the tether is pulled so you’d need to eject before you hit the ground I guess.  Still, it’s not falling off the bike as much as what you fly/slide into after.

Given how often I forget a disc lock, I’d trigger these within a day or 2 guaranteed. Plus, there is a 0% chance my buddies wouldn’t pull this at A: the bar or B: a urinal every single chance they got.

It’s going to be a nuisance, the car coming back late at the end of every stint empty of gas, radio tuned to some obnoxious station and fast-food wrappers under the seat.

Hell karting isn’t cheap. And honestly I'd rather have my kid in a car than a kart.

My parent’s in the late 90's and early 2000's, started looking into karts and late models for me. I actually remember some of the ads we responded to at the time. But, life got in the way, and I’m still salty they divorced without a racecar in sight, although I did end up getting a dirtbike.

I don’t dwell on it, but…

These kids are probably coming into their Rolex 24 drive with a few years of karting under their belts. Maybe even a couple years’ experience driving actual cars - SCCA will now grant a comp license to 14-year-olds.

I’ve had the skills to be a race car driver since I was twelve, and here I am at twenty five with still no opportunity to use them. Yet these kids are getting American Le Mans seats at sixteen. If I’m honest it makes me a little jealous.

But my bigger thought is, it really makes me wish there were more ways for people…

Millenial here, I also find the iX, the enormous grilles and the general crossoverization of things as a bad marketing ploy. 

Millenial here. Seriously what was BMW thinking with that design for the iX?

Yep, generational bickering is just one more nonsensical reason for people to be offended, or, to point out how some other generation is “doing it wrong” with no effort to understand a perspective not exactly like our own.

Gen X’er here -

Oh heavens yes. The iX didn’t start that trend, it’s simply the most recent indictment of it.

Am I the only one who feels like BMW has kind of lost the plot? I don’t just mean with their advertising, I mean in general. There was a time when BMW was “the driver’s car”, not just in name, but also by virtue of the cars they made. That seems to be less true with every new generation and model, no matter how hard…

Bold. I like it. 10 points to Gryffindor.

Counterpoint: Old people need to stop being weird

BMW is apparently assuming a bunch of Gen Z kids are running out to buy new German luxury cars right now?
