2009 Honda GL1800 Goldwing Motorcycle Airbag Saves A Life
THE HONDA GL1800 GOLDWING is the first production motorcycle in Australia to be offered with an airbag as a safety feature, but since its launch in September last year, little has been heard.
This week, in the first ‘real world’ evidence of its worth, the technology saved a rider’s life in Germany.
“I crashed into one of the trees lining the street behind a small ditch,” the rider, 57 year-old engineer Willi Hansel, told the German press.
