Subject: BBIPS Safety System


Hi @-Riders,
I am a @ (1997) owner. Exciting bike!

I have recently seen some ads in the Italian newspapers about the BBIPS,
which is a pneumatic Backbone Protection System in case of Bikes accidents.
They have also a page on the Web, both in italian and english :
WWW.MOTOAIRBAG.COM

I wonder whether some of you have seen it, or tested it, or bought it.
I know it is not a nice subject of discussion, but it might be a useful system.
It is distributed by Pirelli.
I know that the cost, in Italy is approx. 300.000 lire (say 300 DM).
I would appreciate your input and opinion on it.

Thanks a lot.
Federico
