Default Gotta get me one of these!!

I met this guy when I was riding the Hoka Hey. His name is Mark Wilson and he owns a lil Company called "Wiskybilt.

http://www.wiskybilt.com/

He told me he came up with this idea about a week before we started the Challenge and has already applied for a patent on it. Said he is going to develop models for a all the Harley bikes.

This thing is awesome. His prototype sets up in about a minute and breaks down and goes in a small bag that will fit just about anyplace on a bike.

Here is a picture of him in it.

Interesting. Makes it kinda hard for someone to steal your bike when you're sleeping.

Hate to be a bummer. But the engine is way to hot to sleep that close to. With that said, might work at rallies after the bike has cooled for 5 hours......

I don't know JW...He was sleeping on it all through the Challenge and didn't seem to bother him any. In fact the 1st time I saw it was at a checkpoint and he had just pulled in and was putting it together when I went over to talk to him about it. We spoke briefly and then he climbed in and went to sleep.

Shoot. I thought a guy I met invented that in the late 70's. Saw it at an Elvin Bishop outdoor concert.
