I was riding two up between Osoyoos and Penticton yesterday and got the wave from three bikers riding together, two of which had ape hangers to the max and all the "1%er" attitude you could handle in that quick ride by each other on that narrow stretch of road.

OK, let's say for an eeny-weeny teeny little minute I was gonna take this "product" seriously.... (not)..... They show it mounted on the right side. I'd have to either reach across, or take my right hand off the throttle to draw and blast someone. Geeze, that just ain't practical! Why not mount it on the left side?

Better yet, why not just have something like the Apache helicopter gunships - rotary machine gun integrated with the helmet, gunsight in the helmet's HUD, gunmount slews depending on where the gunner looks? Someone starts to turn left in front of you..... blast 'em!!! (Well, carrying the ammo supply on the bike is a little detail I haven't figured out yet...) :mrgreen:
