Want a car? No! You want a Rocket Shield!
Weird contraption designed to help you ride up to 150mph in increased comfort.

"TODAY, Dragon's I'm offering you five percent of my company for £5m. I call it... the Rocketshield."
No, the Rocketshield is not a device for keeping missiles off your bonce while riding along. Rather, it's a strange kind of 'super fairing' designed and built by an American inventor called David Fermil.
The Rocketshield is fixed to the bike (currently on his 2006 ZX-10R via the pillion seat and mirror mounts, as you may just be able to make out from the picture) and it allows the rider to, according to Fermil, ride at up to 150mph in increased comfort.
Fermil says that he can build one for your bike too, if you'd like him to. Just contact him and he'll price one up for you and help you turn your bike into - wait for it - "a 180mph maniac machine."
Err... we're not sure about his claim that his Rocket Shield turns the 2006 ZX-10R from a comfort commuter into the aforementioned maniac machine (and doesn't it already do 180 anyway?). We certainly wouldn't call a ZX-10R a comfort commuter, either.
Still, it looks proper mental. And we kinda like it for that very reason. You can contact David via: http://rocketshields.com/
