Visor Open?

After seeing the influx of clothing and other such issues (Water on visor etc) I wondered who here rides with a visor open for the majority of the time.

See i ride with my visor open all the time, apart from in heavy rain and when it's too uncomfortable to do so, like high speed.
I barely ever wash my visor and if it gets covered in rain i wipe it from time to time with my glove and that does the trick.

Is this strange behavior? or am i not alone?

having geggs, i too often have the visor up

also even at motorway the wind isnt too bad, cos of the lens

i'd wear it down all the time if i wasn't so steamy

Personally I'd not recomend it. Lots of cr@p can be thrown up off the roads, not a good idea to receive a lump of stuff in the eyeball even at low speeds. In summer a fly in the eye is worth a bike in the hedge.

My eyes start streaming if i go around with the visor up loads in this weather, which ain't ideal. I open it when I come to a stop, if riding round town its usually open.
I always have it a open a tiny bit unless I'm on a motorway or blasting round the twisties.

And I'd much rather I had to clean that crap off my visor every day than off my face every day!

Used a lid on the 125 for a while with a visor made of cracks, couldn't see a thing through that.
Trust me on this one, flies in your eyes hurt a lot!

yes in the rain as i find it easier to see,

no im summer, hate flies! they hurt when they ping you in the eye!

and on a motorway or a-road over 60 it shuts anyway!

Northern Softie BAH!

buy cheapo bolle safety specs, clear and loads potection. Visor up feel without knowing they are there.

Visor down always. Might crack it open at the lights to stop it steaming up, but other than that, always down.

I had my visor open as I was pulling away from my house, put it down all but a crack to let the nice breeze in (i think it was on our one day of summer this year) and a mentalist wasp flew in! was not fun! but lucky he wasnt in the mood for stinging!
and i did my best to not throw my bike at the sceanary!
