Stuck throttle in a curve with a car doesn't cause it to tip over in a microsecond, and you've got 8 airbags around you "just in case" anyway
And truthfully, we only
need a helmet if we smack our heads on something, right?
To me, and maybe only to me, this seems like the Harley guys opposing ABS not for any philosophical reason other than the cable running to the front wheel and the small disk, so Harley had to design a completely invisible system for it to be accepted with the magnets in the carrier bolts. We take enough risk as it is deciding to hop on a bike instead of taking the car; removing safety measures on the bike for aesthetics alone isn't a path I'd choose or recommend.
