Abstract
A motorcycle bumper system having at least two non-confining bumpers, one on each side of a motorcycle, the bumpers being located adjacent the normal riding position of the rider's legs, and being matched to the vertical dimension and height from the ground of conventional automobile bumpers to provide primary protection against a sideward impact in an automobile-motorcycle collision, the motorcycle bumpers being secured to the motorcycle frame by straight-line bumper supports oriented to point substantially squarely at the colliding automobile bumper and enabling the motorcycle bumpers to meet the impact of the automobile bumper head-on, further protection being provided by a cam-faced rigid bumper configuration adapted to cam the colliding automobile and motorcycle bumpers apart, and an energy-absorbing covering on said bumper.
