EICMA  is an incredible motorcycle exhibition, with 1000's of products on display. It's motorcycle porn to an extreme, and you could stay there for days and still not see all the products.
Many products are incredible, and would be great at home, but you'll also find some products that you go .. gulp... Here's one:
The idea is good, since we've all faced heavy rain when riding, and the visor gets all wet and it's difficult to see through it. Wiping it with your gloves doesn't really work, even with special gloves with rubber edges. So the idea of putting a wiper on the helmet is good. But the execution.... what can I say.
The engine to run the wipers is enormous. I'd not be surprised if you go over 100 kph your head is pushed backwards. And can you imagine the sound of the electric engine purring away in your helmet....What an idea....
