The "WTF is that thing?!?" Thread

[vifferman]

Here's a starter.
Well.... I know WTF this thing is, but I'm not sure how I feel about. Despite being black and not lurid yellow, it kinda reminds me of Borat's swimsuit...

What originally started as a remedy to keep the rain off of my face

Someone should tell the guy about helmets and visors.

Wow a roll cage lol

Nah, that would be the one fitted to the execrable BMW C1 which actually has some safety aspects. Apparently, you can fall over in the thing and as long as your arms are tucked in, avoid all damage to your personage.
Apparently (according to a BMW X-spurt I know), "it's a piece of shite!"

hehe i actually said "WTF is that" when I clicked the link!

Flipping heck there is some idiots around... *sigh*

defecating a zx10 to a commuter bike is bad enough, but trying to turn it into a cage? WTF !?

the guy commutes from mexico to San Diego on a ZX10R FFS. Its a virtually straight, flat highway...he may as well ride a Burgman or one of those BMW scooter things with the roof on them.

I think it looks kinda cool from some angles but it belongs on far less sporting machinery.

[sinfull]

cool .

Cool ? Yr mad Andy

He said he has trouble squeezing his "fat cheeks" into a helmet.
My guess is he's so porky that it doesn't matter that it's a ZX10.
Oh - and the "BMW scooter thing" is the C1 I linked to in a previous post.

He already mentioned those on that link - no fogging, no tight-fitting helmet etc.

NOT my cup of tea but probably pretty practical.

No really, it has a snake like look to it...like a Cobra head.
When you think about it it's actually a blooody good idea. I'd rather see thousands of those things attatched to bikes than the thousands of unecessary cars on our roads - if it meant more cagers embraced two wheels that'd be a really cool thing me thinks.

I'm sure real bikers would still be free to ride in the wind

[007XX]

That is so very wrong!!! I'm not really a Kwaka aficionado, although I do think they are good bikes. But the ZX10 is definitely one of the better looking ones and this horror just disfigures it

The guys's mentally challenged I reckon.
