I’m no grandad but I am a great uncle so feel a shaft is permitted for me. Just not a BM because I want to have delusions of still being cool. I bought the Guzzi and pick it up Saturday. Expect a lot of pics.
For airbags on the street, electronic or leash?

I believe that leash is the best and most consistent. Based on something I may or may not have read or heard from someone else at some point. May have been someone down the pub.
Nah, so long as you remember to untether when dismounting, I believe they are consistent and cheaper. Maybe electronic is better for fast/race situations but I don’t want to pay a monthly subscription for a CO2 canister.

Electronic reacts more quickly. A few years ago I did some sums and checked with some manufacturers. The numbers may have changed since, but what I discovered was that if you t-bone a car in a smidsy, the electronic will inflate before your body hits the car. The leash won't.

Guzzi are still a bit more like their vintage roots. Modern BMW's are proper tools. Maybe I fit the BMW mold because I've never been into the cool side of bikes.

Airhead
Because race bikes don't have them. Therefore uncool, for grandads on BMs
