Re: winter aint it great!
Oh it's brilliant riding in snow!! Until it gets on your visor, and you wipe it off only to see loads of water droplets instead of snow that make your vision even worse
I needed to fill up today, pulled into the fuel station and it was perfectly clear. I left the fuel station and it was snowing really heavily, not quite what I was expecting to be honest. Pirelli Diablo's just skim over the road as if it was bone dry however, despite my inability to see more than 12 feet ahead

Re: winter aint it great!
Hi seen recently in a m/cycle onlineshop you can buy a windscreen wiper type
blade attachment to fit to your glove to wipe all forms of water from your visor as
you are riding along etc..cannot remember where I saw it though....
whatever next

Re: winter aint it great!
They have been around for years, a glove achievement. Never tried one myself as my finger does just a good a job. Do'nt see the point really.
No snow down here. It's bitterly cold though.

Re: winter aint it great!
just use a rain repelant and turn your head job done
Ill never be a sell out storm forever
Re: winter aint it great!
A ceramic shield. I would have thought you could just reverse your tail and that will act as a wiper.just use a rain repelant and turn your head job don
Those are the ones I was thinking of. Do these new ones actually have a blade on them then. My gloves are 100% waterproof so (I'll re-phrase this!) give the visor a quick swipe with the hand. I guess if your gloves don't remain 100% dry those sort of attachments are handy.got a suede pad on the finger of my winter gloves
The snow is double dangerous for you as your Storm will be camouflaged.
