I've been thinking about his lately, and have come to a few conclusions about using a VCR on a motorcycle.
It has been stated in the BBB and other sources that both decking and rigging puts the body in a state very similar to sleep, this is so you don't flail about and injure yourself or give your location away. Now, I've known several people to set up their motorcycle with a rigger black-box to pilot it. Big problem unless you're sitting in a sidecar. A motorcycle is already a fairly unstable vehicle, that's one of it's strengths, it's light agile and incredibly cool. It is however also something you never EVER want to fall asleep while driving, you'll have an impressive case of road rash in a matter of seconds. So, am I alone in thinking that rigging a motorcycle without sitting in a sidecar would be absolute suicide? |
