    It's been around a few years now, but that's the first time I've seen a video of it in action.
    ... and that's what I think.

    I think that would be really distracting.

    would probly get used to it after a while, but it does obscrure quite a lot of vision, and wouldnt it block forward vision, and show sky as rear vision for sportsbikers when they tuck in behind the fairing?

    also, would such a helmet mean you can remove the standard mirrors? as they would be superfluoous

    Look where you are going does not equal see where you've been. Except on a straight road when you keep your head aligned forwards.
    Incredibly distracting. Bugger that.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I wonder how much crash-absorption you would have to give up in order to fit in that system.

    Nice bit of propaganda at the beginning of the video though.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    i been toying with the idea of a bike mounted screen for rear view for a while, reckon it has many advantages over a helmet one, finally got round to chucking my thoughts on kb here

    i've got a reevu - they work welll and are comfy - use it as an additional aid for rear vision - not a replacement for side mirrors.

    Where in NZ would you get one?
    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
