Certainly some of us mechanics amateur and professional alike can sometimes be forgetful. Like forgetting 8mm bolt torque spec, and the general spec for bolt stretch. And what does the industrious, accessory-obsessed technician really want more than his own samurai headband? One with all the knowledge thats been passed down from thy engineering forefathers.

Thats right! Enter the Mechanic's Sweaty Cheating Samurai Headband! Emblazened backwards on each headband is the sum of all basic knowledge for either a specific manufacturer or a specific model of motorcycle. Things such as general specifications, model year codes, or a reminder that a certain bolt has reverse threads.

Each head band comes with a complimentary samurai magnetic-backed mirror to be placed in the area in which you are working, so you need not avert your gaze very far to get the information you're looking for.

Machine washable and terrycloth-backed for excellent absorbancy and longevity, choose from Crouching Kawasaki Green, Hidden Honda Red, Samurai Suzuki Blue, or Tiger-form Yamaha Yellow.

I missed the last word when I was looking at the recent page. It's a good idea but I still feel a little disappointed

If ride a Ducati, can I still have a samurai headband or do I have to settle for a silk necktie or something?
-- Pac-man, Feb 07 2006


Well - Ducati would require a pinstripe suit, or a suave neckerchief. You know - like the ones the singing gondoleers of Venice wear.
-- Letsbuildafort, Feb 08 2006


Ooooh, if I shell out the $32,000 for a 999R, it should come with a sweaty cheating armani suit.
-- DeliveranceRiverBoatCaptain, Feb 08 2006


Oh, and Buell's and Harley's come with a sweaty cheating redneck bandanna.
-- DeliveranceRiverBoatCaptain, Feb 08 2006


Shouldn't that be: Crouching Triumph Tiger?
-- Ling, Feb 08 2006


Crouching Triumph Tiger indeed - you know how much those things weigh?
-- Letsbuildafort, Feb 08 2006


Before or after the oil leak?

Good to see your Sweaty Cheating Self around here again [Lbaf]. Hai!
-- wagster, Feb 08 2006


Moto Guzzi is my poison. I want a nice Italian leather jacket and boots.
-- normzone, Feb 08 2006


Moto Guzzi I don't care for. I'll take an Aprillia, Bimota, or Ducati any day.

Of course, I own a Honda 929RR, but that won't stop me from dreaming, now will it?
-- DeliveranceRiverBoatCaptain, Feb 08 2006


I totally knew who's idea this was gonna be. Glad you finally posted it [lbaf]!
-- AfroAssault, Feb 10 2006


And for the rider of the DDR-era MZ, a sweaty cheating mullet wig? The possibilities are endless
