Heads-up Display for Motorcycles

Here's a cool idea. (NYTimes link, free registration required).

A quote from the article: "The Sportvue head-mounted display will allow riders to see speed, r.p.m. and gear position without taking their eyes off the road. The system gathers speed information from a global positioning satellite receiver attached to the rear of the helmet. "

If this works well it would be awesome, and they are saying it will cost $250-350, so it won't break the bank.

The article has a picture of it mounted on a helmet and another from the rider's perspective.
