At that price I would have thought they would have a ton of them on hand. Can't believe they sold out of one model. They sure don't give them away.

What do they offer. I looked at the model showing and when I saw the price it scared the poop out of me. I hope at that price they offer X-Ray vision.

I think it would look awful busy in there trying to see with all that stuff going on.

for that price, they should come with an extra pair of eyes.

You would need another set of eyes to keep track of all that, plus watch where your going. A heads up display on the windsheild would be a better idea.

They come with several days memory and a micro USB port so when they figure out how to plug them directly into the brain it could be a useful external hard drive for us older guys.

When you consider the cost of a good GPS and devices that encompass the other features, it's not that bad considering it's a new device. In a year or two I imagine it will become cheaper as competitors come on the market.
It seems that it breaks some sort of paradigm for riders here. I wonder if it would be any more of a distraction than having music/GPS in the normal fashion? I think it's pretty cool and it's amazing what is coming down the pike. The problem with HUD is the variety of motorcycle designs/windshields. How do you produce something that works with many, most or all bikes? The other thing is, do you want the technology tied to one machine? This device can go with you anywhere on any bike, car, on skis, whatever.

Your right Stan, when its on a windsheild, but this is all going on in a pair of goggles.
