sounds fancy, be interesting to see it side by side with current helmets, as all those mirrors etc sound like it'd be a bit bigger, heavier, and with more wind forces.

It would definately be good for commuting, but dont see a point for track or for touring....

One suspects that, like fluoro vests, this helmet's efficacy will be completely fucked for riders who wear backpacks.

I'm also wondering how effective it would be if you were riding in the morning or evening with the sun behind you. The last thing I'd want at that time is the sun reflected into my eyes, but I am sure they must have found a way around that because it seems so obvious.

you mean the same thing that happens with normal mirrors?

same if you ride with a pillion. though i guess it could be useful to see if the bitch has fallen off yet or not. :lol:

i like the idea, but i think it would get distracting, specially in heavy traffic.

Having two mirrors on the side of the bike isn't exactly the same as having a mirror an inch or two from your eyes though.

I reckon it'd give me a headache looking at two different directions of travle at once.

That sounds like a nice idea. If you had a hot bitch on the bike, then travelling at a high enough speed should open her jacket up a bit due to the wind, if she hasn't got her jacket zipped up fully, such as on a hot day. That may provide a nice view of said females tits, which may also prove to be a safety risk. Oh well, shit happens.
