Check out this helmet.... Reevu Motorcycle Helmet

It's "the world's first rear-view helmets." This link "shows what you see"

I'll bet it would take some getting used to. Imagine using this helmet and the SportVue MC1 at the same time??

Seems pretty cool.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I'm interested in looking at one but, I don't think they're available in the USA yet. When they are, I'm guessing they'll price in the $500+ range.

I like the idea, seems really neat. But until it's cheap, I'l stick to my regular mirrors.

seems pretty cool, and id like to check one out, but cant afford a 500 buck helmet, though its a neat idea.

It'd have to be placed high enough that it doesn't come into my normal vision, and I'd spend hours just going around the neighbourhood getting used to it.

Seems like it would take some getting used to.

yea. especially the ones with really intricate graphics all over it. I prefer just one solid color.

Helmets are ugly. Too bad I need it to keep my ugly face where it should be.
