Personally, I would rather spend the money on an upgraded charging system and some heated gear so I could keep riding.   :)

The local BMW Owners Group had a vendor at their winter rally a couple of years ago with one of these. It was fun but no match for wind in the face and bugs in the teeth.
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

I saw something similar to this in the airport in Las Vegas about 18 years ago .

This was an Asian bike and you paid $2 for 5 minutes I think, there was a projection screen in front of the bike including sound and you could select road course, Road America, Watkins Glen, Nurinburgring  etc... or Tail of the dragon, Mulholland Highway, Stelvio Pass, etc .

It was interesting !!!!

Bob, I'm trying to remember when the cold off season is in Phoenix.  

Hey have you started the 2015 annual mileage thread yet?  I haven't checked mine.
