Riding with my visor up earlier 'cause it was that hot and I managed to get one in my eye ('cept I wasn't smiling!) Luckily, it was only 30 but, still, that was fast enough! No need to say I spent the rest of the ride with it down!

I had to clean my visor 3 times this morning and that was a nice early 6:20am start. V2 Sponge is great

Way to rid the visor of flies on the move is to get spit on your finger rub it on the visor and then wipe of. Flies allll gone!

Should I start a thread with this advice? it really does work! Done it a few times today on my nice 300 mile trip

Country roads of a summers evening. The flies have been feeding of the cattle all day, and theres nothing they like more than to suicide on a bikers visor leaving a smear of legs, wings and bovine blood.
