Starting to show up in my Facebook thread from various riders. I'm not impressed, too many reasons for me to list before I've had my coffee. Maybe later, lol.
Distracted riding anyone?

I'm not interested either.  Some of the ideas maybe ok, but too much distraction for me.

But "it fundamentally enhances human capability!"

It is intriguing, but tries to do too much.  Perhaps for slabbing it, but not in traffic or twisties.

Neat idea.
Looks cool.


But it probably causes brain cancer.

It doesn't do any more than my truck. Put it in all the helmets so it is cheaper.

I feel much the same. On a very pedestrian ride it might have it's place, but too much of a distraction if you're riding at 80% carving some corners.

It's trying to take all of this



and put it in your helmet. Yikes.

Did you all see how the video was trying to establish product credibility with corporate executives?  Didn't even say if they were experienced riders.   

It's clearly a gimmick... they are trying to pitch the practicality of it; but it really has no practical application, if you ask me.

I don't look at my gauges (unless I see a cop).
I don't use a GPS, because it's fun to get lost on a motorcycle.
And I absolutely will never want to take a phone call while I am trying to escape the world on a ride.
Not practical.

Again... seems like a cool toy (gimmick) but it's not for me.
