'Virtual bike' improves safety

An interesting article from the BBC on a new motorcycle safety simulator. Watch the video and see what you think.

I welcome anything that increases rider knowledge and safety. The simulator appears to be a good concept, although watching the rider pitch all the way over when he leans shows that there may be some work to be done to introduce a more realistic experience, (some gyroscopes maybe) but the simulator is really about hazard awareness which is really important for new riders.
