Other Apple… Don’t attach iPhone to a motorcycle. Keynote… guy riding his motorcycle with an iPhone attached to it

I liked this comment via Engadget:

"A warning doesn’t mean you can’t do it. It’s just that you are taking that risk, if you choose to do it. It’s more about warranty liability, I would say. On that note, since when is risk a deciding factor for somebody riding a motorcycle? ;)"

As a rider of high performance bikes for many years, there is a world of difference between the 50cc engines in moped in the video and a high performance multi cylinder engine of 800-1200 cc. It also depends on the make and model, an 1800cc Honda 6 cylinder Goldwing is smooth as silk. Engine design, some engine have harmonic balancing counter rotating shafts, firing order makes a big difference. Apple was wise to put out a general warning and let the user determine the amount of vibration.

If I remember correctly, the phone flew off the bike and hit the pavement. That probably saved it from the vibrations.
