Doesn't get much cooler than this

Amazon.com: Transformer 4gb USB Drive: Electronics

Need to order me one of these just to keep on my desk. I usually use my phone to transfer work files back and forth, but this is way cooler.

Hey thats really koo how you did that. So does the USB act as rely? And how did you go upon doing the whole install? I knida want to do that to mines too. I also had my bike stolen too, it my first. The sad part it that I only had it for 2 weeks. A Brand new 08 CBR rr with only 79 miles on it. BASTARD!! haha

Slick is right!

Are you going to remove the keyed ignition completely?

You say you can remove the USB after the bike is started....just wondering if you can re-start it if you accidentally stall or would you need to put the USB back in?

I have a pretty cool looking Patriot USB flash drive. It's rubberized black and red.

I actually was checking out the patriot ones, but I'd like one as small as possible. Sorry I couldn't get a video up yet pittsm I couldn't make it to the shop, but it will be uploaded tomorrow or asap! I wish I had the video of it first firing up, I haven't started it since march because it was such a mess.. and I explained the flash drive to my buddy and he just laughed at me bc I'm such a geek. It was great hearing it fire up the first try after having it stolen, trashed, and taken apart, esp. with the muffler off. If you guys have any other off the wall ideas throw them at me I'd like to make some mods.
