I was wondering how may of us have invented stuff for bikes, which could actually be useful for bikers…
For instance, how comes no-one has a single wiper blade (battery operated) on their helmets?
Or a tiny demister?
Or a very opaque blind that you can pull down to enjoy fresh air, without the eating of bugs?
Or Prescription visors for glasses wearers?
For the sake of sounding silly (what me !)…when Sean first took me out as pillion on long journeys, i thought it would be quite a good idea to have a tv screen in the back of his lid!..
…then i realised i could actually move my head and look around without jepodising the balance of the bike!
i have, for my MEng project. Stay tuned the prototype is nearly complete and pics will be posted on LB. Also waiting for my patent application to be acknowledged b4 i can talk about it.
Having been stiffed in the past by people nicking my ideas and making a mint on them, they are to remain in my head only until all you suckers buy them and make me rich
Nice ideas but not sure they’re practical unfortunately…
a single wiper blade (battery operated) on their helmets? - Probably they’d get ripped off as soon as you hit any decent speed, and also cause a lot of wind noise…
Or a tiny demister? - have to be very tiny, so probably wouldnt’ be effective enought to be worth while.
Or a very opaque blind that you can pull down to enjoy fresh air, without the eating of bugs? - Use a Buff, pull it up over your mouth and hey presto, no tasty lunch.
Or Prescription visors for glasses wearers? - had thought of this too, bit like diving masks… but then what happens when you flip your lid up??
i’d like an electronic marker you can add to your key and you’ve got a small unit on you wirelessly connected to it. if you mince off leaving your key in the bike, it warns you…
not that i’ve ever done that, in public places, ahem…
i could make that, im pretty sure u can buy these already usually involes an tiny rf id tag on the key and then a small device on ure key ring that will go if if not within a certain distance.
Drei not gonna be a millionaire by no means but would like ppl to use my product. Demo day is may 18th so after that ill have some pics and a vid of it working on the bike.
it has been tested and on route to halfords(catford bridge) for a full demo…
it enables you to travel threw time when you reach the speed of 88mph…good eh?
the thought occured to me when i slipped trying to install a lightbulb and bangged my head on the sink…
there it was…BAM…plain as day…
i shall be selling the unit as a compleate package …(w/plutonium), the recommended mode of transport would be a d’lorian motorcar…(thats all that is available at this time)…
i am already working on the sucsessor to this modle that runs on household waste so watch this space…
How do you decide that your idea is worth taking forward, I have some wicked ideas, but would not even know where to begin… and building prototypes would never happen as I can barely make a airfix kit let alone something I adctually have to make…
