Hey all, this was posted in another forum that I'm on- i thought it might be apropos here:

This looks like the HANS Device used in auto racing.

sounds like a sales pitch. Not riding a motorcycle can save your life too, but we all draw the line on what we do and what we don't do. I don't think wearing a neck harness is on the todo list of many people, regardless of its benefits. The title of this thread is a bit overboard and out of line in my opinion.

As good an idea as this is, I don't think it'll catch on with street riders;
and it'll take a rule making them required equiptment before we see alot of them on the track. Pretty much the same way NASCAR did it. :doh: |
Maybe for the track... but I'd never wear that on the street. :p
...and unfortunately, 95% of my riding is on the street. |
great idea...
but they're like 1,500 bucks ive heard.... |
dont seem like a bad idea, i to wont wear it on the street, although my riding is also 90% street riding. but then again, all my sport bikes will be gone by the summer and will be using just my Harley, thats not to say i will be safe on my Harley, because we all put ourselves at risk the second we get on the street on any kind of motorcycle.
excellent idea for track junkies i would think. their pricey, Club Materials – Glass Reinforced Nylon Upper and Lower Weight: Medium – 850grams Suggested Retail Price – US$395 Sport Materials – Glass Reinforced Nylon Lower and Carbon Fiber Upper Weight: Medium – 780grams Suggested Retail Price – US$595 Pro Materials – Carbon Fiber Upper and Lower Suggested Retail Price – US$995 but then again, there is no price high enough that can save you from potential and permanent body damage. maybe in the future i'll get one. |

"Not riding a motorcycle can save your life too, but we all draw the line on what we do and what we don't do." That's the same arguement (if you want to call it an arguement) the anti-helmet knuckleheads use. " I don't think wearing a neck harness is on the todo list of many people, regardless of its benefits." Really, I ordered one. Call me crazy but I feel anything I can do to minimize the risk of spinal cord injury is worthwhile. "The title of this thread is a bit overboard and out of line in my opinion" How is it out of line? Did it somehow hurt your feelings? |

It's good, solid information regarding your safety and totally germane for the Got Gear? section. Like wearing a helmet, ignore this at your own peril. Lance |
It's certainly not out of line. Kevin Windham is wearing one of these and the announcers were talking about it during the race. Kevin says he doesnt even know it's there. It doesnt interfere with his riding one bit.
Looks like a great idea to me. I wonder if it would've saved my collar bone? Prices start at $300 so It's affordable. I'm probably gonna get one... Maybe Yeti will let me try his out??? |

Of course. |

"...and look at all the other people on this thread that didn't. I stated that not to many people are interested in wearing/buying it, not that it didn't save lives. You took my words out of context. But I am correct in what I stated and you did not refute that, you simply changed the context to fit your message.
" No one took your words out of context. You were quoted exactly as written. "The person that posted this thread does not own or have any administrative / managerial privileges on this site. For them to say that if you only do one thing on this site, read this thread is overstepping their role. Not only that, the title does not indicate what the purpose of the thread is, it's misuse of a title. It's sensationalism regardless of it's intent. That's like posting a title, "I need help". Well no shit, please at least put a short description in the title of what you need help with so the appropriate people can help you." Yeah ok dude. For whatever reason, you have your panties in a wad over the way a thread on the internet is titled. I have a question for you. Do you have any "any administrative / managerial privileges on this site"? |

And your second response is so typical. Complete with the whole "panties in a twist" insult followed by the "it's just the internet" angle. I'll answer your question with another question, have you ever gotten offended at someone cutting in front of you on line at a bar or something? You don't own the bar, but you know it's rude right? This thread is not the most important thread on this site, far from it. It being labeled as such disrespects other posts (and further more the people that posted them) that are actually worth something and are contributing to the community, not some cut/paste for a product that 1 out of 20 might even consider. |
