Check your indicators first... the bike might have decided to switch them off

Slickshift by Triumph ( 1959).... sounds like a good idea... disengages the clutch when you operate the gear lever...... saves the bother of using the clutch lever....not so good if your riding along and wonder if your in top...

Very pretty though sadly more famous for being responsible for the closing of a well famous German track so that the water and oil flowing from every possible place that water and oil could leak from a motorcycle after one decent lap could be cleaned up,the rider simply pulled up got off the thing letting it fall to the ground and walked away muttering "a complete shitbox" in German.

I'm going to give this a try next:

Headlight flasher activated garage door opener circuit. Simply take your existing key fob / mini remote (the one you can never operate through your jacket when it's raining, fumbling trying to get he garage open) and with a flash of your highbeam, voila - an open (or closed) door. I reckon no more then $7 all up in parts from jaycar.co.nz. Will let you know how it goes!

Tyre pressure sensors

Starter motor! What will they come up with next?

**4AGE** · 8th May 2011, 20:18

Including fuel gauges as part of the instrument cluster was a pretty good idea i think.

Gatlling gun that fits onto a RAM mount...oh sorry, not sure it's been invented yet. Let me know when - I'll take 2...

Petrol held in the Frame, and Oil in the swingarm, a-la Buell.

Bikes built in little sheds by guys with fuck all budget but loads of skill.

Kawasaki covering the regulator in my ZZR with foam to keep its toes warm and dry.

Honda RC166, 60+ HP from 250cc way back when...
Honda RC142 125cc of 5 cyl fury...
Honda NR750, a V4 that was to all intents and purposes a sneaky way of making a V8 fit in the rules, 4 cyl, oval pistons, 32 valves...zomgroflosaurus.

Pity about your last example. It was only good because it was different. Other than that...it was a heap of shit.
