1. Depends on the pillion
2. No comment.


Seriously though, it gets pretty hot here and I wouldn't need one of those. I s'pose if you rode all the time in the city and couldn't get some breeze going it might be ok. I'd keep forgetting to unplug it every time I got off anyway.

Are bike riders just getting soft??

hose backwards so you could get a bit more speed goin' there

Hawkwind ......... some pillion man !!!......LOL what were you thinking man or beast !

The new BMW damn near won't let you wreck and the VFR will shift for people unable to work a clutch.

Geez what's next? GPS linked autopilot & parallel parking assist?

if it didn't look like my grandpa bought it in 1940 i would give it a try but its just too "gay looking" for me. but ya i looked into one when they first came out but it def. needs a redesign. something to make it look more like a Targa tail cover for an F4....basically more streamlined for a bike instead of a big square eyesore.

I could definitely use one of those when it gets 115F+ where I am at. But, it's ugly and I'd be made fun of. But, I'd be cool for sure!

Don't forget the goldwing with the airbag!

But yeah... I think the concept of this contraption is ok, but wth?? It's so ridiculous looking.

What happened to just putting ice cubes in all your pockets?...
