  7. I especially like the wearer-induced tobacco tint on the original...I can't quite identify the shade though?
    Might be Old Holborn,or possibly Golden Virginia

  8. Golden Virginia.

    Old Holborn used to render visors opaque, which was no damn good :)

  10. Throws the water off- still very popular with kart drivers, apparently they like to see the things they are about to hit..
    (and still made,those pics are lifted from karting magazines websites)

  13. I'd have stuck with Old Holborn - at least nobody would be able to recognise you while you were wearing it.

  15. If you get one of the powered versions, you can really go a bit faster on a yellow Ducati......
