Soooo....,
a cheap ant roll-over bar can be put together by strapping a cat, feet
downwards to the top of the windscreen frame. Also acts as a sun visor.
If you cannot obtain a cat, then glue a piece of heavily buttered toast to
the top of your head. Also prevents sunburn for those of us thinning on
top.
