Anything that raises hazard awareness is a good idea. First Post

Wonder if they simulate road rash and head injuries if one rides without any protective clothing or a helmet when the simurider crashes?

Now that would be a simulator!

To help with realism, it needs some kind of a cannon-type device to shoot bumblebees at you at 60-80 mph. Mix in the occasional chunk of gravel.

When you drop the bike will it knock the CPU over and break the monitor?

The biggest shortcoming I saw in the simulator was the lack of a side and rear views. I hear about too many motorcyclists involved in accidents because they weren't watching their mirrors closely enough. And riding is more than just looking straight ahead. Situational awareness involves knowing how to watch all around yourself at all times, not just straight ahead. Other than that, it sounds fairly neat.

I am waiting for the other simulators from the other companies since they have different attitudes:



Suzuki "GSX-R first on the racetrack, first with stunnaz" simulator.



Kawasaki "Ninja 180mph midnight highway run simulator"



Yamaha "16,000rpm is appropriate for downtown traffic" simulator.



Harley "Poker Run and Parade Simulator"



insert name of chopper brand here, "Visit all the bars in town simulator." (With BAC simulation)



BMW "Let the bike ride itself simulator"

The mirrors always say NO!

What, No tandem?

Does it come with an oven to roast your thighs?

Counter steer

So... how well does the simulator work with counter steer, does it change from steer left to go left etc as you are going 2-3 mph in a parking lot to countersteer mode at higher speeds?

I have ridden some of the junk rides at arcades that steer backwards at high speeds.

Maybe you can drink a big glass of Cartrol R and pretend you're riding a TZ750.

CASTROL! Damn it...

What's with this childish obsession of being first to post???

Gee, I'm glad you wrote "First Post". I never would've realized otherwise.

Maybe there's a bunch of 12 year olds that frequent this site...maybe a bunch of adults that have no life?

AMEN! I would add, however, that this was one of the less offensive first posts...at least he had something to say. Many of the "First Posters" leave us with only that single pearl of wisdom...

And you would be..........?

I Wonder...

Who has the best lap times on it?

I think Pete and I need to go check one out.

Pete has practiced all day with professional instruction.

Don't just climb on and expect to beat him

Oh, I easily qualify for both...

Re: What's with this childish obsession of being first to post???

Fifth post! Woo hoo! ... um, I don't really have anything to add.

My thoughts exactly, and a shower-type device capable of causing water to dam in your groin area.
