TheScooterScoop

I caught this one over at one of my old haunts engadget.com, one of the inspirations for THIS very site. While this CD player is drip-proof, it can still be played by saps, suckers and loosers… just kidding. Couldn’t resist the word play. Should have called it “splash proof” or “water resistant” anyway, it goes a little sump’n like this:


If you’ve got your scooter all tricked out but are still looking for a way to drown out the noise (or jet engines, as it were) you may want to give Clarion’s latest CD player some consideration, which promises to hold up even if you regularly go for drives in the rain. You’ll also be able control it relatively safely, with the included remote control ready to be attached to your handle bars. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to use it with a scooter, with Clarion also suggesting it as a solution for motorcycles and “leisure boats.” What’s more, Clairon’s also planning to release an iPod interface for the unit, although there would seem to be other, less expensive ways to enjoy your iPod while you’re motoring about. Look for this one to be released in Japan next month for 44,100 Yen, or about $375.
See it at the Clarion Japan site.
