    This story sounds familiar, was this the guy who got his "prosthetic arm stolen off his yellow motard"? I think there was a news story on here a while back, couldn't find it in the search though.

    Looks like an extremely well engineered piece of kit.

    my understanding of some prostetic arms is that you use the fingers etc by the computer picking up a pulse from the nerve under the skin?

    if so then should you lose an arm you could make a special arm for riding that'd use a circuit to open and close the break and spin the throttle or open and close the clutch, wire it in so a certain movememnt fires up the indicators, lights etc?

    the bionic motorcycle?

No worries, we'll just get the robot to fix it back up.

    very interesting, only problem i see is what happens when you'd rather not be attached to the bike? Does it release when certain forces are put on it... or does man and machine truely become one and share the same fate

    Good on him, bloody brilliant!!

    Just had the same thought as squiggles. Hopefully it detaches if you fall off.
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
