Wearable Motorcycle Design
A motorcycle design student recently came up with a wearable motorcycle design that, while cool, is unlikely to see public adoption. The bike would be capable of doing 0 to 60 is just 3 seconds with a top speed of 75 miles-per-hour and would theoretically be controlled by 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators. I would imagine the results of a crash would be much like being strapped to the hood of your car during a collision — bonus points for form, however.

What?
Does this mean I can now be one of those robot overlords that everyone is so eager to welcome?

the preceding post was not spell checked... suck it.
'Wearable' (adj.) description of any garment that allows the wearer to wander through a crowded London pub without starting a fight on a Friday night.
This isn't wearable.
But would someone wearing it be an Autobot or a Decepticon?
Well now I'm not so sure. I figure if you can wander through a crowd at 75mph, you shouldn't have to worry much about anyone starting a fight with you.
Though the "garment" part of the definition might not fit this item well...
