I see myself tripping as I try to put my foot down or get off the bike.

Dan, That thing is ridiculous. I literally laughed out loud when I bumped into it. |

I wish theywere available years ago. As an old, all weather rider in the freezing, snowy northeast, I could have used that. Maybe my knees wouldn't creak so much now!

Outside of the tripping issue, would probably would block all rear view from the mirrors on my 650.

Lol. If you look at the picture closer especially clicking on Color B (camo). The rider is wearing sandals. He has put on a baseball cap though.

The use of lap covers (heat housers) is popular over here and I've used the handlebar covers but this is way too much!

People laugh at my handlebar covers but my hands are toasty and warm inside with the grip heaters. That Amazon cover is over the top.

I love this piece of gear ... would be very useful during our Canadian winters. I really want to learn the technique to get my ride to hover over the road the way the model does it in the snow picture on the bridge. Sure would make getting out on those -25*C days in 15 inches of snow easier to handle.
Also, wouldn't his ears and dome top get a little chilly? I guess a standard MC helmet or my woolen toque eh! would help here. I'd also add galoshes over my sandals ... you know just to protect from the slush and bite from the road salt!

Now I need another motorcycle... this gear is apparently only 'suitable' for 125cc and 150cc rides.
