Awesome! Now you can have something to slam into when you crash [thumbsup]
It'll feel extra nice now that you don't need a full face helmet squishing your fat cheeks.

No no, he found the tinfoil was making his head sweat so he incorporated a tinfoil liner into the thing, thus he no longer needs to wear that bulky tinfoil hat.

Yes, finally you can get rid of that bulky full face helmet.

well, I am tired of hiding this pretty face. Prolly be much more acceptable after the road rash. At least people will stop hounding me and girls hitting on me.

Yes, but Rameses said he would never talk to you again if you messed up your face.

or maybe he said that to the waitress in Denny's

I am so desperately disappointed that they don't have one for my bike that I just might cry.

I especially like how I won't really need a helmet once I install a bike thong!

if you pull the front brake real hard, do you think it could do a full loop-d-loop?  [laugh]

It IS pretty durn ghey, but I would be surprised to find that there is no market for it.  And a sportbike seems an odd place to start.

On a serious note, I think that thing would be dangerous in any moderate crosswind.

I would not want to ride that thing through the Columbia Gorge (windsurfing capital of the world) or anywhere along (any) sea coast.  I remember getting blasted across two road lanes on my ST4s riding along a beach road.

I'm sure that thing is fine in a dead calm going in a straight line, but a little whiff of wind and I'd venture to say the entertainment would really start.

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me


Rossi..... hard to port.

 His excuse "What originally started as a remedy to keep the rain off of my face while commuting daily from Ensenada, Mexico to San Diego" is kind of bullshit.  How many days does it actually rain in San Diego? 


Other than that, I think it looks pretty slick.   It has very nice lines and fits nicely with the bike.  Look at it for what it is, and not "I wouldnt want that shit on my monster...."      [thumbsup]

Wouldn't it be crazy if this thing came off while he was cruising on the highway or something?

Could you imagine this thing suddenly coming off and hitting you in the face? That would be nuts!

Not possible, it has like, 6 screws holding it on! Who cares if it resembles a wing and probably creates lift...
