You'd never buy a bike and ride it in traffic
(From Bike Forums, I answer at bottom)
"WASHINGTON – Micro cars can give motorists top-notch fuel efficiency at a competitive price, but the insurance industry says they don't fare too well in collisions with larger vehicles." *** Originally Posted by mlts22 "Smart cars have a ways to go before they become mainstream. There is no real point in buying one over a Honda Civic. Civics get more MPG, are proven safe in crash tests, have more HP, and are *far* easier to find parts for. The only thing I can say positive about a Smart car is that you can park it 90 degrees in a parallel parking place. Seen the crash test on the Smart cars? The darn thing crumpled, bounced, then spun around like a top." *** IF YOU JUDGE THINGS BY THE WAY THEY CRASH, you'd never buy a bike and ride it in traffic. That's the American way... Buy cars that are safer to crash but never tame traffic, huh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Monkeys of the World, Unite!
