Default Ciggies whilst riding?

Obviously not smoking and riding

Just wondered if anyone else has had a lit cigarette butt to the face?

Certainly a wake up when you are riding along @ 50/60 mph


Problem is my visor mists up and the slightest angle other than fully open

Anyone else had that (or worse?)

Nope, but I've seen a few old boys going around with a fag on the go

Them Pinlock fog-resistant visors are meant to be really good, just a thought.

I don't like bumblebees hitting my helmet, they're like bullets!

Never saw the point of flip front lids untill I bought one.

Problem is the draughts and noise far outweigh being able to smoke on the move...

My mate flicked a fag out the window.It came in through the back window and burnt his daughters coat.










With her in it.
70 on the M5 with me leaning over trying to stop the burning is not good

Ask Jester about sparking up while at 70.

But to the OP Pinlock or fogcity breath guard - I would never ride with visor open other than the Shoei crack adjuster
