1977 Press Photo Inventor John S. Hickman - mjx78222

JOHN S. HICKMAN adjusts the part of the Hickman Rain Handler that steers rain and wind around a motorcyclist who runs into a shower. The Shorewood manE™s invention also includes a windshield made of material hard enough so a windshield wiper can be used without scratching it. The Rain Handler is available from area cycle dealers for about $220, Hickman said. It is fitted to a Windjammer motorcycle shield, which retails for about $225, and, Hickman says, turns a motorcycle from a fair weather machine into an all weather vehicle. Hickman on bike.
