waste of money, could be better spent on riding education if your that unskilled that you require a constant rear view.


And here I was toying with the idea of removing my mirrors off the bike, and just using head checking, which I do 90% of the time any ways ;)

The over the shoulder checking is something you should always do, but If you go with about 260km/h it is very hard to do. Mirrors are not beautiful but useful thing. As about the helmet , I believe that is very early to buy something that is still in piramatic* condition.

If you're riding at 260km/hr, what's happening behind you isn't exactly that important.

at that speed, what's behind you will soon be in front of you again anyway.
