Used the rain repellent when the weather forecast warrants it. Today especially as the snowy.rainy gales down here made visibility tricky and I needed both hands on the bars with gusting crosswinds against rush hour traffic in the dark. With the stuff applied rain drops bead off the visor like water of a er chric pampered VTR... but as you say it needs applying everyday to work well. Highly recommended and can be used on headlight and mirrors as well.

Did nowt to bike except undo a parcel from Italy with a Titax brake lever in.

Then saw the colour, so wrapped it back up again to go back to them.

My Italian is not as good as I thought- damn that Google Translator....

But I have learnt that "satisfaction" in Italian is "soddisfatti" which made I smirk.

I can't get no..... soddisfatti. It just might catch on......
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
