Aerostich Offers Ultimate Banana Protection ($6.00)

banana-200GPS? 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?
