the MotoGP stars have it to stop fluid leaking over eveything i was told. But i think its more of a show off thing.

i thought so too (racers in general not just motogp) but i'm sure one of the bikes in the last motogp didn't (might have been the suzuki parrish was riding beforehand?)

makes sense, although you would have thought with all that engineering expertise they could develop one which didn't leak :smt002

Err how does it do that then :smt017

Would have thought if anything it would have made it hotter by keeping it insulated?

Perhaps a slight exaggeration... 'A leak from the top' would've sufficed as it changes viscosity when warm.

Apparently the sweat bands also give you an extra 5bhp.
