This thing has been around a few years now, got alot of attention a while back. IMHO It might be nice too keep the wind off you for a long ride, but it would create too much drag to be worth anything at speed, it could be deadly in a crash, and its just not my style. I'm fine putting up with the wind and the rain, besides, it replaces the back seat so you cant pick up chicks...assuming they will talk to you with that thing

Still, I think it is a pretty ingenious idea. Not really my style either, but I think it would be funny to put it on as a bit of a joke. It's probably not a very cheap way to make a funny though. It was my first time coming across it, so I wanted to share it with you guys. I guess I was a little bit slow on that one! Talk to you all later.

Default spaceship mod

this mod looks like its a outtake prop from star trek. I guess the wind never really bothered me, i wear a helmet 98% of the time so maybe thats why. The wind does discourage me from riding when it gusts over 25 or 30 mph, but i cant imagine it helps wind gusts pushing me over the road.
