... could apply to other farm animals.... like pigs :Pokey:

you need the optional extra radar tracking and hellfire missle "path clearing" option in that case.

I see the NZ agent is listed as 4u2c Ltd "Auckland".

Are any of you familiar with this company? :confused: John.

Personally i think it would be distracting....kind of cool but annoying methinks.

Very interesting.
I can't ever see myself with one but applaud the tech work that has gone into making this available.

Yep agreed with the above sentiments, a novel idea but probably more distracting than anything. I have a radar detector that tells me when I need to slow down :shifty:

Tried one (I used to work with the importer) was crap, and even he said his support from them was crap.

Bugger shame really seems like a good idea, perhaps a bit more R&D needed, or a bigger company to take it on.

~$300

i enquired about them with the NZ people a while ago, got no answer.

its basically 300 bucks to save you from looking down for a bit, and even then you'd have to look up to see it anyway, and focus (i dunno about you guys but i tend to keep my focal point somewhere around +20m infront

Apart from when you see constable plod :Police:(and it's too late then anyway), how often do you look at your speedo anyway? Sort of looks like someone said "can we make it?" without asking "will anyone use it?".:doh:

I know he was a KB member at one point, not sure if he currently is, did use the 4u2c, but I think he changed?

Met him once when he came to look at a bike I was selling, but didn't deal any further (nice gadget if it works, but just don't see the $$$ adding up for the features).

It's more tongue in cheek really... especially given I used to smell like bacon myself, but my expensive tastes got the better of me.

If it could be set up to work with a radar detector then those would be outstanding.

I'd like to try one... I've been waiting for the MC3 for what seems like forever though. I'm prepared to front up for 5 clips, 1 unit, and 3 transmitters any time they feel like selling them.

If it could be set up to work with a radar detector then those would be outstanding.MC2 has that iirc. I'd probably just hook those bits up to my indicators... never leave them on again :D
