Yip someone told me that a couple of days ago, I tested it out today and your right it works pretty well lol Apparently there is a type of anti fog stuff that if you put on the OUTSIDE of your visor, it creates a film which helps the rain slide off........gotta find me some of that.
I am new to riding (bigger than a GN250) so any other trade secrets are always welcome! lol

It does work but i can`t get on with it, when it rains hard the water runs
like a streem and you still can`t see through it, it`s like looking through the bottom of a pint glass.

Oh ok, I was on a ride yesterday and talking to a few of them that use one particular one. They say it is great, I'll give it a try then post what it is and where you can get it from.

Be good to hear how you find it... my gloved hand works well when all else fails.. that, however, is all about timing

If anyone is interested in the "safer roads" scheme the government is looking at for improving safety on the roads there is a section relating to motorcycles on page 31&32 I think it is, you can have a say online - would be worth a look. Click on this link to check it out:

Being such a noob that I am... I am slightly concerned about the (probably-would-be) rainy weather on Wednesday night. So the ride will still go on Wednesday night rain or shine? And how long will it approximately take from Moorehouse BK via Gebbies to Diamond Harbour? (I couldn't find it in the thread)

Going by some of the posts of the hard core rain lovers I would say it will go ahead rain or shine. It is appx 40Kms to Diamond harbour - 30-40mins?? Then depending on the route back another 30. Plus talking time!

No, you have to shorten some parts and lengthen other parts, quite a big job.

for 2 strokes i think its called Dynoworx - ashburton. http://www.dynoworx.co.nz/

for 4 stroke stuff i use triple-r-superbike in chch http://www.triple-r-superbike.co.nz/ they have a very good dyno.

It will go ahead rain or shine. There will just be alot less turn up if it's raining. Should take less than an hour and a half to get to Diamond Harbour with all the stops etc.
