An airbag for motorcycle riders?

Motor cops obviously like riding motorcycles, but they also place a very high value on looking good. Police bikes are usually cared for much better than sedans (possibly because most agencies assign the bike to a single rider, who is responsible for its maintenance), and the riders themselves are often more fastidious in their personal appearance. Motor boots are always shined, and the motor cops often have the option of snazzy accessories like leather jackets, which are unavailable to the common car patrolman. And we’ve seen you checking yourself out in the store window glass as you drive by.

It’s also a relatively hazardous assignment. I don’t know too many riders who haven’t laid the bike down at least once, and the consequences of doing so vary substantially. Motor cops don’t have the protection of a passenger compartment, seat belts, or air bags to protect them in a collision.
