Not this guys reasoning, but maybe if you took the mirrors off...

So you wouldn't have to turn your head as much?

To look for cops?

I guess if you were to lazy to look behind you while stoped at a red light to make sure the person behind you is slowing down.

Or on long trips you could watch a movie if you add a dvd player

Wouldn't the glare off the screen negate the practicality of it all? As a photographer, I find myself having to switch over from my LCD to my eyepiece when I'm shooting in bright sun. To me, this accessory screams "I've got more money than common sense!" After all, the owner could have donated that cash to An's Foundation.

Or mount a Ps2 or xbox and you could play games.

you can get a great view of your jacketless short panted flipflop wearing GF when she falls off the back and donates 4 lbs of skin to the asphalt gods.

Otherwise, it's useless.

Bling!

looking behind you is unsafe...it requires movement that can compramise your riding posture and for you to remove your vision from the stuff getting big fast for a longer period of time.

I personally like rear view cameras for two reasons...it keeps me form having to look behind so often and it can be easily recorded....that last one applying to why I like cameras on my bike. I used to ride with a camera facing front and back at all times.

I think it's kinda stupid, he has mirrors on it, plus it's another thing for somebody to steal. Oh, and it's a waste of money!

So that you can see the

cagers (hopefully) before they hit ya'?

but isn't this why we have mirrors?

pandy · October 02, 2006, 08:28:34 PM

Ok....I have it there so I can watch my DVD's....the reverse cam is just to cover up my DVD player!

mirrors aren't reliable. Their view angle is sad in comparison to a wide angle lense.
