    You have to piss on the potato first though. Effect is due to interaction bewtten uric acid in the piss and starch in the potato.

    Have an HJC helmet and use warm water with heavy dose of dishwash liquid and wiped off with paper towel, then wipe off with damp paper towel again and then dry paper towel. Sounds a bit fiddlerly, but seems to work okay.

    Yep, a spud will work but makes your view somewhat hazy.

    I have a breath guard as standard on the HJC but still fogs up when really cold and induces a real cold air vortex around the neck and chin. End up riding with the visor open a crack which is cold.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Don't waste time with half measures, seriously get a Uvex helmet, they NEVER fog.

    Go for the visor insert, they are fantastic and well worth the money. Cheaper than crashing.

    Dririder has a "FogOff" (try saying it quickly... Cheeky Aussies!) balaclava arrangement that has pipes to direct exhaled air down and out of the helmet like an upsidedown snorkel. Never tried them but they're similar to an idea I had ages back that I never got round to putting together. If Road and Sport had them in stock when I was last in there, I'd've been tempted to buy one. Could be a costly experiment if it didn't work, though.

    I have some antifog stuff that I rub around on the inside of the visor. Works great for paintball masks too

    After having fist sized rocks hit my visor off the back of Dazza's Duke I wont, it hurt my neck with the force and left huge gouges in the Visor , but not a broken jaw!

    All I nose is that since using a pinlock antifog system I will never not have one. Only hassle is that they can get scratched up in normal use but it's one of those things that I can't imagine living without.

    I have to wear glasses when I ride so i get double blinded, visor fog and glasses.
    Ive found an Oxford breath guard and a visor insert together will do the job. Riding with the visor cracked also helps/
