    Google glasses as GPS on motorcycles

    Google glasses as GPS on the motorcycles?? no need to worry about GPS mounting on handle bars, 12v battery jack, cables,, etc etc,



    They say this will launch by the end of this year and priced around anywhere between 2-600 USD.

    You'd have to be round the bend to try it.

    Perhaps when the technology can be miniaturised so that it could appear on the visor we wouldn't even need a speedo or tacho on the bike?
    Then again, by that time, petrol could be so expensive that you'd have to take out a mortgage to fill the tank...

    Woodman...? Oh! Panic not. In time they will make them penis sized and include the technology to see through hands, so you can use them too.
