Winter Woes

yeah tape is great! nowdays on such a slow bike I just have an "ADV ADV ADV" helmet with a peak/visor which is awesome and they come in FLURO YELLOW ^_^_^_^

Yarp, the peak on me Givi helps immensely. Just wish I could stop the internal sun visor from misting up.

Back in the day UK traffic cops were issued Serengeti Drivers, a brand of sunnies specifically designed to minimise glare from low sun while driving. Great shades but out of my price bracket.

Wairarapa is on the other side. The road itself has never been much.

I still do that all year round.
I'm an early morning rider,shortly after sunrise and straight into the sun strike.
Put too much on and you look like Niki Lauda, but hey it works.
I have never damaged a visor by doing it, and thinking back I've done it since owning my first "Bell Star".

Yep. Me too. Tape on the bottom of my visor because i tend to ride with it open so it finishes up in the perfect position. On my work helmet i have tape top and bottom.

...I swapped a very little Suzuki TS model for a thousand buck helmet a few years back...I could only use it for racing, more than twenty minutes in it and I felt like I had an Octopus gripping my head, not a Shark...then I got real crook and lost a lot of weight , my head shrunk, no voodoo man , just diabetes, and hey presto, the helmet now feels like a second skin...it makes closing ones eyes and hoping for the best feel a thousand bucks better...and its got eagle graphics on it...makes me soar...you wont be moaning about sunstrike in a month or six weeks, I bet...
