Is it just a Tom Tom stuck inside your lid with an annoying as fuck cable then attaching you to the bike?

I thought HUD's projected on to screens/visors/etc, not were just large lumps with a screen jammed under a helmet.

Also if you have an off with this wedged under your lid won't it cause damage to you?

And what does it do that taping an android phone to the chinbar and having the right apps doesn't do?

Or am I being a spastic and missing the point?

[Paddy-Bike-Hud]

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody!

In regards to 'Bike HUD' I do understand all of your concerns. First of it does not block your view at all.

Second it is not actually a distraction as it sits just below your eye line, but can take a while to get used to.

The unit has been fully safety tested and will not fly about and cause damage to your face in the unfortunate case of an accident.

Even our customers had concerns to begin with and so did I, but until you try it on and use it on the road or the track you will then begin to see how good and useful it really is.

But I'm not try to sell you anything, just wanted to see what you all thought

Might drop an order in, give it a proper BCF review

Sure, likely I'll order it post weekend

It looks like a display rather than a heads up display. The definition of a heads up display is a display that you can see without dipping your head, or obstructing your view, IE it's transparent.

This is not transparent. It's also unsolicited commercial advertising and so comes under the rules of Spam technically. I'm surprised you've got away so lightly so far OP.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I dont want to sound like a C*nt here but how often do you actually look what speed you're doing?

I find if I'm in traffic or at least behind cars then I just stick to that speed as I doubt everyone is speeding.

If I'm riding like a knob You are probably way over the limit and concentrating on the road than what actual figure you're doing.

Might just be Me though..

Don't see the point it in really to be honest, but would be interested to see how it is works if Paddy or anyone else gets it to review - hopefully you honour your 30 day returns policy

Out of interest, how exactly has it been safety tested to prevent dislodging on impact - Sounds potentially extremely dangerous to have something like that flying around in your lid in the middle of an accident.

"It means that for the first time you’ll have an extra set of ‘eyes’ to enjoy the freedom of the road safely without the distraction of having to look down at your instrument panel."

Is it not more of a distraction to have the HUD in your vision all of the time?

Have you got any photos of it from the riders point of view?

Why does it need a GPS unit under the seat?

I also saw in MCE that if people don't like it you will pay for a years subscription...

Is this correct?
