What does that mean?  Seat belts aren't for people in cars who can't drive properly, they're for when an ACCIDENT happens.  Same thing with rider gear.  You can be the best rider out there, but unless you can see the future, ACCIDENTS can happen.  Protect yourself.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[EvilBahumut]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 9:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA[So... because you wear a helmet for safety, it means you shouldn't be doing it?<br><br>To me, that's akin to saying that because you need that lead sheet in the front of your microwave, in order to protect you from the radiation, that people shouldn't be using microwaves.<br><br>Or for that matter, the fact that you need to put shoes on before walking outside on rough, rocky areas means you shouldn't be doing that either?<br><br>Humanity as a species wouldn't have gotten anywhere if we were really that concerned with staying safe to the point of being coddled. I'm willing to put my life on the line if it means I can actually ENJOY that life.<br>Of course that doesn't mean I'm about to risk that life that I'm enjoying quite so easily. I'll take the various precautions like this one that will allow me to do what I enjoy and still keep the risk to my life relatively low.<br><br>Mind you, I don't actually OWN a motorcycle, nor have I even ridden one, but that's still my stance on the matter.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grey Acumen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 10:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hahhah!

Drivers simply do not see motorcycles whether you're going 10 or 100 mph. But just because cars might be to blame for accidents involving motorcycles, that doesn't make bikes any less dangerous. Simply, someone if someone hits me with a car I'm way more likely to sustain injury then the driver simply because I'm exposed the driver isn't. <br><br>Two years ago, this idiot driver cut me off while I was doing 40mph and she was doing about 50mph. Injuries to her: none. Me: broken humerus, broken wrist and bruised ribs. <br><br>Bikes are dangerous and everyone that rides will take a spill sooner or later. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bredon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 11:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA[To my knowledge BMW doesn't make any of their own riding accessories.  And - I doubt BMW will market this in the US.  They're afraid of liability from our litigious society.  That's why they haven't sold the BMW helmet (made by Schuberth) in the US for some time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bross.00]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 12:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA[Isn't $650 a bit much for $0.30 worth of plastic pellets, injected into a mold and a couple strips of foam?  It must come in a nice big box...  Oh maybe the instruction manual is 60 pages and comes with color photos!  Ah that must be it.  Well worth the price. ^_^]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RobFX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 12:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm joking ^_^]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RobFX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 12:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been looking for something just like this for a while. Ever read 'Snow Crash', when the skateboard courier gets into a crash and an airbag inflates to support her neck and spine? I busted three cervical vertebrae some years ago. A lot of people might look at me funny when I say I'm still riding a motorcycle (and bicycles, and snowboarding). I shell out the bucks for any kind of safety gear that still looks cool, which this does. People don't always do what the doctors recommend - that's where technology steps in to help.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[slippyfish]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 2:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMW Motorrad's neck brace system gets a price]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/bmw-motorrads-neck-brace-system-gets-a-price/</guid><description><![CDATA["All The Gear, All The Time" just got a little more expensive.
