Abstract
An air bag device for a motorcycle deploys to cushion an impact to a rider of the motorcycle during a collision. The air bag device is mounted to a body frame of the motorcycle in front of the rider. Bag anchoring members provide a connection between the air bag and the body frame. During deployment of the air bag, the bag anchoring members deploy from grooves in the motorcycle's fuel tank, and extend together with the air bag to hold the air bag securely to the frame body.
