Ok guys. Things you wish or things in your mind that motorcycle manufacturers should come up with just in order to make motorcycling a better place to live and ride.
Heres a list of few things i think and few i saw over net. Chip in with your suggestions too. Cheers!
1. Put angled valve stems for air filling on wheels, especially fronts fitted with two big brake rotors(inbig bikes). Unless youre a left-handed spider
monkey, reaching straight stems with
most conventional tire gauges is a *****.
2. Design seats that better fit the shapes of human butts. There is no excuse for a seat that makes your rear end ache in an hour or less.
3. Make all controls and contact points at east slightly adjustable. Car companies acknowledged the wide range of human sizes almost a hundred years ago;
motorcycling is way, way overdue to
follow the suit.
4. Install horns that are sufficiently loud and threatening to alert preoccupied car drivers of our presence. Most OEM horns
are wimpy devices that give off a feeble, apologetic meep-meep rather than an authoritative pay attention, dammit! blast.
5. Design pillion-peg locations that dont force passengers into a gynecological- exam position. Were taking someone along for a fun ride, not for child delivery.
6. Give all cruisers enough cornering
clearance to allow reasonable turning
capability. The only way any motorcycle can turn is by leaning; severely limited attainable lean is a dangerous condition.
7. Design mirrors that actually let riders see whats behind them. I already know what my elbows and shoulders look like; I dont need to keep tabs on them while riding.
8. Develop electronic control and
information systems that dont require a decoder ring and a service call from the Geek Squad to operate. All we want to do is reset the tripmeter or some MFD settings, not disarm a Nuclear warhead.
