How exactly does this work? I was reading the 10 gangs book and they had the bikers who stay closed off at all times (whitefish?) with control rigs and rigger modded motorcycles. Wouldnt the movement-cutoff cause a person to fall off the bike, even with a gyro stabilization? Or are motorcycle riggers just that badass and full of handwavium? Because all I can think of are go gangers flopping along on the back of their bikes as they race down the highway.
