Re: save of the day
If that is real then it is WAY cool, maybe the manufacturers should make the 'self-righting and then slow for the rider to remount' thing a feature of new bikes
.
I saw a remote control plane land itself once, the guy flying it had spent ages building it and lost radio comms to it. Luckily for him it stuck in the last position it was in when he last had control, namely a slow left bank. It continued in a slow left spiral descent and landed in tall grass (relatively) unscathed...which is more than I can say for the plane I was flying. The guy teaching me to fly got confused with another plane the same colour and flew mine full speed into the ground at a 90 degree angle while wondering why the other plane wasn't responding. I had nothing left longer than 100mm long and that was the last time I flew.

Re: save of the day
Better than being in a real plane. I would avoid that person if he/she wants to take you on a airplane ride. As a pilot I am a fine cook. Tried it in the early seventies and it was not my cup of tea. I can, however drink a fine shot of Jim Beam. You need to take it through the mouth as sticking it up your arse can cause mental retardation in the U.S. of stupidity. If you want to see this done on a regular basis watch the U.S. senate in action, what a thrill, kind of like watching monkeys high on LSD trying to fuck a football.Ratmick wrote:If that is real then it is WAY cool, maybe the manufacturers should make the 'self-righting and then slow for the rider to remount' thing a feature of new bikes.
