I got that you like airbags, enjoy yours.

I don't like airbags, because I don't like airbags ~ do you understand?

Make up a reason for the reason I don't like airbags.

Reasons are made up by our fertile minds. >:-}

Hi Blackie-

I've thankfully never experienced airbags up-close-and-personal. That said, I know I would rather have some slight burns across my knuckles from the charge rather than sticking the hard dashboard into my face. I walked away from a bad wreck in 1991 and the airbags didn't need to deploy because I was T-boned from the side when another driver missed a traffic light. Modern vehicles would likely behave differently under the same side impact.

As far as motorcycles are concerned, the weight penalty would be far too great on something like your Suzuki SV650 as well as on my favorite Honda CBR. I'm puzzled as to why you won't provide a basis for your dislike of airbags. What's not to like? They prevent horrible injuries. They sit unnoticed for years until called upon.
