Anybody Bought One Of These?

Checks date, no, it's the end of May.............

 

MCN did a review. https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-kit/accessories/bikerguard-visor-wiper-review/

 

Yeah...fairweather bikers really piss me off too.

Jokes aside, I did once ride a Ktm 990 down a motorway with about 15cm of snow on the ground

 

When I commuted on the bike in all weathers visor misting was always the greater problem, even with pinlocks. Rain on the visor could easily be cleared with a v wipe built into most gloves & if going fast enough just turning the head a little would be enough for the wind to run the drops off. Besides the drops are so far within your range of focus they're not always an issue.

I had thought of buying a 'Turbo Visor' but reckoned it was a little too stylish for me:

 

Not ever considered anything like that, i'm far too cool.

On occasion when I drive the van in the rain I leave the windscreens wipers to give the sensation i'm riding in the rain complete with making motorcycle type noises.

Can't do it when the Mrs is there as she A/ doesn't like a windscreen with raindrops on and B/ Thinks it's immature to do so.

 

unbelievable. get her telt.

 

you probably remember that "anti-smear" spray that caught on for a while - you sprayed it on your visor but
1/ Visor had to be tip-top/brand new condition.
2/Spray didn't last that long and wasn't cheap.
you could tilt your head left or right and 90% (ish) of water droplets were gone. This would not appeal to you N, but for glass-wearing people, in the winter it was worth considering.

 

There have been all sorts of treatments over the years haven’t there.

Not ever tried any of them though as I just got used to the raindrops and I’m far too tight to buy such products.

 

£3 a bottle, out flippingrageous

 

yes, Rain-X is the one that has remained, and it's at a reasonable price now, can't remember how many decades ago I first came across similar.

 

I think I tried baby oil once

 

The same product exists for car windscreens. Usually used on old classics.

 

Wasn’t it a late 80’s thing.

 

My solution to keeping my visor clear in the rain is usually to jump in the car instead.

 

Not feel a little daft wearing your helmet in a car though? I know I would.

 

I feel this is going in an unwanted direction…….straight into the gutter.
