GPS? Check. Saddlebags? Check. Banana Guard.... huh?
Aerostich are purveyors of fine touring accoutrement and equally fine April Fool's pranks-- remember their Remote Control Zipper Sliders, Krilion 2 glow-in-the-dark spray, and "Radical Cruiser" clothing line with "Insect deflecting carbon fiber conchos"?
This time, though, their "Banana Guard" adds a touch of the surreal to everyday motorcycling... at least I think it does, since I managed to add it to my shopping cart, but didn't have the nerve to actually try buying it. If it is indeed real, however, is there anything else a potassium-deprived touring fanatic could want for the holidays?

When I do my grocery shopping the mufflers on my motorcycle make the saddlebags hot, ripening my produce, blackening the bananas. When do you think they’ll make a protector for a whole bunch? I can’t wait for the tomato and lettuce protector. Hard to make a good blt without them.
Mr. Wasef
As a member of the motorcycle media, it is your job to look out for the consumer. I’m assuming they’ll give you one as a demo. Either way, please procure the banana protector and let us know how it performs in all conditions.
Thank you
M-
Just make sure you lift the visor before you try to eat the banana!
thank goodness they were talking about “bananas”!
Carrie, you are in luck. The lettuce protector has been on the market for quite some time. Check it out, just google lettuce protector and off to BLT nirvana
