What the hell, is that some kind of joke?? :sick:

It looks like an invention gone wrong from the 60's... I mean.. it doesnt look practical at all. It looks like it doesnt even belong on your helmet. I'd rather stick with pledge, does the job with me...

No wonder the guy's selling it...

At that point you point your head to the sky, spread your arms and pretend you're a helecopter. :laugh: who needs a bike when you've got the turbo visor?!

Looks like one of those things you get from that "inventions" mag. I'm sure it sounded great to the person that came up with the idea but how he/she convinced some one to actually manufacture it. Must have paid cash up front.

It's obviously a derivative from the powered spinning disc ports (windows) used in shipping.

There are usually two or three placed strategically around the bridge on ships.

Most small launches have one too.

They work OK and can be seen through clearly, don't know about that wee helmet attachment though!

Must do something for some one to go to that much trouble. :yes: Looks a bit dodgy for a bike. John.

I wonder if you could attatch something to it to deter speed cameras...
