Tired of fumbling around with keys and fobs?

You unlock your phone and computer with your face, now you can do the same with your motorcycle.

If you’re not sure you’ll always have the same face when you get on your BMW, iFace also can scan and store your iris and cornea. This allows iFace to ensure you’re you, even with your helmet on. Don’t worry if you have a faceshield or mirrored faceshield, glasses, or contact lenses. The scanner has a polarization filter that sees right through that. All you have to do is go to the TFT menu and let iFace know if you want a face scan or an eye scan. There are three eye-scan options: Tinted Visor, Clear Visor, and Open Visor.

I've got enough anxiety with the keyless fob already. This will put me over the edge.

I've printed out a photo of Lightcycle's face and was planning to try it out the next time I fly out west.

I know you're lying because if you really did try to print a photo of my ugly mug, your printer would have broken.

BMOA (Owners club) also did a release of the end of the K series bikes and many fell for it too.

Now if they said the R18 that would have been logic as they cannot move them.

Did you use a special mirror or something to take the original picture?
Printer works fine, it just keeps screaming for cyan and magenta.

Folks be wondering why that rider always has a small duffel strapped on the pillion...
