Fair comment, I have asked many people if they work....and they have all said they have never hit a 'roo (kangaroo to our international friends). Then again, in the last 33 years, this is the only one I have hit. Viva la ducati! It has saved me again. Wouldn't have liked to hit it on any other bike!
