My other half found this on MCN but has refrained up to now from saying how he's going to make his garage door open automatically!!!!!!!!!

Amen to that
my pride and joy is just gathering dust right now, so a dust cover would help

Motorbike only lanes in towns and cities.
Would make it less likely for a smidsy if you have your own lane :)

Not having to walk half a mile to put the chain and cover on my bike.
Plus half the ideas mentioned above O.O
tyres that lasted loads longer with more grip.
More MPG's
Higher Speed limits
Fewer cages on the road.
Bike resistance Speed cameras
World peace...

a choice of lower seat hight bikes...
a 24/7 on call baby sitter... and the no more rain, and actually that'd probably do me... oh and a ban on U-turns. :D

A few larger bikes have them, like Goldwings. Don't think it'd help much though. :(

I've seen a disabled guy (parapalegic) convert a blade to do just that. At low speed, bars lowered automatically with runners on to stabalise the bike. It took a little getting used to but worked nicely. He also had a dual lever setup, allowing both rear brake & clutch to be operated from the left bar! That's dedication to the cause!
For me, I'd settle for tyres that didn't go square even after 1500 motorway miles. A bigger, more powerful bike would be handy, as would hard luggage and the abolishment of speeding offences. :D

i have an electric garage with a fob so if i had a button on my bike to open it that would be kool ....
24 + degree weather all the time, no rain, all cars have to stay in lane one and stick to dual carriage ways and m ways :D
I agree with DT, the scottish roads down here without the midges. Also to be allowed on the roads you have to nod at other riders (as happens in Scotland, but unfortunately rare down here)
oh and longer roads so I could ride any bike I wanted
ooh and money
a garage and non ridiculous insurance premiums
