Well you could tie it all in with the "What do you wear under your leathers" thread.

Couldntcha?

I could see this sort of thing catching on with some select members of KB - jrandom?

If I could put my recently studied road code to good use... (and if I still remember it correctly!)... you can legally carry a load on your motorbike if it does not extend 1 metre in front, 1 metre behind, and 50cm to the sides :2thumbsup

I actually wanted something like this for taking my mountain bike to woodhill, then I thought how much more hassle it would be when compared with a car, and that my squishy weighs about 20kg. Must be damn odd to ride with.

Now 'that' would stop the pillions helmet hitting the riders. And there would be no problem with the pillion being able to see.
