    Given that Honda have a history of doing stuff 'just because we can, and
    you can't' IYSWIM, what d'you reckon will be the next step for them?

    I reckon the 2004 'Blade gives an indication with it's electronic
    steering damper - active suspension within the next 5 years?

    SteveH fascinated us all by saying...
    That's a good enough reason *not* to buy a Honda then.

    Doesn't the wing already have it?

    Suspect they're spending far too much money on emission controls and noise
    deadening, rather then performance, but who knows.

    around the workings of a late model R1 clock and tells me that there are
    already sensors in place for calculating relative speeds of front and rear
    wheels...Traction Control !

    But quickly realised the error of their way and changed it.

    Hope it's linked to a tilt sensor(1) then, or wheelies could be a
    thing of the past.


    1. Just imagine - your're skreeshing round a lovely sweeper, balls to
    the tank, screwing on the last mill of throttle, pulling the outer bar
    back hard as hell, outside knee climbing the bulge in the tank ...

    ... when it all goes quiet ...

    .... you run wide, miss an oncoming car by millimetres, slide across
    the verge, through a hedge and into a field. You drag yourself to
    your feet and hobble to the wreck of your pride and joy. All is dead
    and silent - apart from a red light blinking on the dash - one you've
    never noticed before.

    The legend on the light says "TILT".

    Only if it doesn't weigh too much. They'll probably stick it on some
    lardy tourer bike though.

    It's not in my dictionary. Nothing beyond "vara" which is "stick".
