Default To all the bucketheads out there...This will give you another reason to wear a helmet

Allthough it doesn't help if you are looking for freedom whilst you ride,

It might do so if you use your bike for everyday way of transportation.

Now just wait for the moco to jump on the wagon..but that probably wont happen for the next 5 to 10 years...

Keep it crispy ;-)

Don't know, I have mixed feeling about this type of technology, while is offers much information, it appears to be somewhat distracting a dangerous thing to be when riding.

There's a reason that fighter pilots have had head up displays for decades. It's because they are better at integrating key information into a high threat environment than looking down at gauges. And less distracting.

So it can only be a good thing. Looks pretty cool too. I'd go for it. Might even be a reason to buy a Beemer in a couple of years time as a second bike.

People wear or don't wear for different reasons.

I personally don't care who does or does not.

I choose to wear even though I don't have to.


It should be about choice.


You know that freedom thing.

If you need helmet to check your oil, fuel and tire pressure you should not be riding.

If/when I'm fly'n down the hwy at warp speeds w/missiles on my tail...I might re-consider...

For now, I'm good.
