Some nice little electronic safety devices.

Well we have all seen brake light flashers
Extra Running Lights
Etc, Etc
But here is a few i've not seen before and really like the idea of.
Automatic Hazard Flasher
Ok, you have to brake suddenly... the person in the car behind you is busy texting on his cell phone or re-applying her mascara. Catch their attention with the SMiDSY Automatic Hazard Flasher.
Many car drivers when braking apply their hazard lights, us Motorcyclists can't do this.... until now.
Upon applying the brakes suddenly over approx 20mph and around -0.6G your motorcycles turn signals will flash for 5 seconds at around 120 flashes per minute.
This unit handles everything for you so you can concentrate on the road, unlike the car driver behind who is busy playing with his CD player.

FOGmate
To me this one is a nice idea in theory but could be accidentally activated very often
The FOGmate unit improves your bike's rear visibility by holding your existing Brake Light at 33% power in foggy conditions.
Without any intervention, your Brake Light functions normally. If it is foggy, or you simply would like extra visibility for the rear of your bike, start your bike's engine and if not already on*, turn on the lights. Now operate your brakes 4 times within 15 seconds. Your Brake Light will flash 3 times in acknowledgement, and the Brake Light will then illuminate at 33% power until power down.

ICEwatch
I like the idea of this one ALOT! But isn't the heat from the motor going to effect this?
The ICEwatch unit continuously monitors the air temperature around your bike and is a one of a kind safety device for all motorcyclists who ride in cold conditions.
On power up, the unit will emit 3 flashes during the self test, then:-
If the temperature is above 4.5°C (40.1°F), all you will see is a very brief and dim flash every 5 seconds.
This is the unit “Heartbeat” which tells you the unit is alive and checking the temperature.
Below 4.5°C (40.1°F), the LED is on continuously.
If temperature is between 3.5 & 4.5°C, (38.3 & 40.1°F) the LED will pulse 4 times every 10 seconds.
If temperature is between 2.5 & 3.5°C, (36.5 & 38.3°F) the LED will pulse 3 times every 10 seconds.
If temperature is between 1.5 & 2.5°C, (34.7 & 36.5°F) the LED will pulse twice every 10 seconds.
If temperature is between 0.5 & 1.5°C, (32.9 & 34.7°F) the LED will pulse once every 10 seconds.
If temperature is below 0.5°C, (32.9 °F) the LED will show a steady light.
The unit begins the warning at 4.5°C (40.1°F) because, even though the air temperature is above freezing, any parts of the road that have been in shade during the day, may well be at freezing point and ice may have formed. So, the moment the device issues a warning, you should treat it seriously.
