This is pretty cool. $400 is a little steep, but I guess it depends on how well it works. Maybe if it gets a little popular, the price will drop a little. I'll definitely look for this at vendors booths and such.

I want one of these, with a bluetooth wireless connection to BOTH my cell phone AND/OR just my gauge indicators (speed, tach, oil lite, hell, maybe even a shift light, just to piss people off) in the mirror as well....

Here's a site that has pictures of the view from inside the helmet.

That is totallybitchincool. You don't have to fight fuzzy, vibrating images in your handlebar mount unit.

In substance, that sounds ok but I'm always concerned with who's creeping up on me and where.

Funny how we change our perspective. I wore a half helmet for years until I switched to the Shoei full face. Now I wouldn't consider riding without it. Let's see how that holds in the hot weather.

I wonder how much of a "blind spot" you have ...think I would still be doing alot of head turnin!

can't seem to find any reason to trap my head in a helmet, hell I don't even like a skullcap on my head but I gotta keep my hair from knotting up (or do I?)

my head, my choice , I don't preach helmets to any one , I also don't tell anyone to not ware one

I don't care for the idea of another view inside the helmet, seems it would be a distraction. I'll always turn my head when changing lanes or passing, old habits die hard.

I know I'm late in replying to this thread, but. . . you are right about the price you put on your own head!!

My concern, and I don't know how true this is, is that helmets have a "shelf life" of 5 years then you need to replace them due to degradation of the material. I read somewhere that after 5 years, you have to replace whether you dropped it or not. Of course, $400 divided by 5 is not a lot per year, but dang!

Personally, I'm moving out of my full-face the moment I can (read:when it gets warm enough)....

Hate the lack of peripheral....

and I DON'T want another mirror...all they say to me is NO.

I'm all for safety improvements but personally I think that would distract the hell out of me. I know I'm a new rider but I just have a feeling that would not work for me. Besides, some things should require a little work. Keeps you focused and reminds you it is a serious thing you are doing. At least it does for me.

Hey Flathead, you figure out a way of keeping your hair from knotting up and not wearing one of those damn leather things, let me know!

Don't really want to know whats gonna run over my a*& when I'm sitting at a light. Would be alot worse when you know its coming and can't do nothing about it. Surprise me and get it over with!
