Hmmm, don’t think I will be one of the first to give it a try.

Re: MCY Thrusters by Bosch...
I wonder about the amount of company liability insurance they would have to carry to bring that to market.

Re: MCY Thrusters by Bosch...
Wheaton,
I believe that gadget is a one-shot, with very expensive refills. I am guessing that once you set it off, you are supposed to realize that you are riding 'way over your head, and then ride safer until you can get it refilled.
Still, I would not bet my life that it will work as advertised, even once.
Cheers,

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Re: MCY Thrusters by Bosch...
I do vaguely remember a forum thread a LONG time ago of some guy NOT knowing the difference.

NOS = N2O, NOS is a brand of N2O injection systems, and a drank preferred by mullet having rednecks from South Carolina.

I'm no mechanical engineer, but I'm guessing an engine could drive a compressor which could theoretically refill that Bosch jet.Red wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:50 amWheaton,

I'm hoping I'm long dead before the future communist leaders of this country mandate this device for comrade motorcyclists on their way to the communal farm.

Re: MCY Thrusters by Bosch...
Do we need to get a collection going for JWilly now?
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

Re: MCY Thrusters by Bosch...
Nah, but a beta version would sure be fun to observe! I hope I do not need them someday.

Would be useful around here where folks like to hit the gas upon leaving the main road onto their gravel driveway.
