Aerodynamic canopy for your sports bike!

[whitedevil]

Yes you heard it right, now there is an aerodynamic canopy for sports bikes called Rocketshields.

According to the inventor of Rocketshields, David Fermil, the project started with the aim to keep the rain off of David’s face, while commuting daily from Ensenada, Mexico to San Diego.

However it has now evolved into a product which not only protects him from rain and mist, but also from hot winds.

That article is from 2008.

Would be cool to do a stoppie and keep on going and try and land back on 2 wheels.

The only downsides are that if you bin it/drop it, it will probably break.

oh and they look crap IMO.

Heh I never noticed the date, it was posted on another site. I agree tho it does look shit.

Was posted on here years ago, can't find the thread at the moment.

Still looks horrible. Like a BMW C1 on acid. I wonder if they're still making them.

The basic idea has been around for decades, I suppose that looks more elegant than some.

But you could just wear a helmet

in a crash scenario something like that would end up trapping you and dragging you down the road.

Is it just me, or does that rear tyre look a) square as fook, and b) have mega chicken strips?
