True by rocket standards but not even close by hd standards.



ink... something I need more of.

I don't have any road rash.

I might head south and get some new ink this weekend. Better call about that tonight.

Can't deal with sunglasses under my visor. I always get a reflection of the sunglasses on the backside of the visor. Ghey.

So for me, it's dark smoke visor all the time, even at night..........I'm too lazy to pack the clear visor unless I know it's going to be a long tour or something.

I rarely ever put my visor down in the summer, its just a whole lot cooler inside the helmet with the visor open. In fact I haven't had my visor on my helmet for a few weeks, but I keep a pair of clear and a pair of dark ballistic glasses in the bike and switch them around as I need to. I can't get past 20 without my eyes watering to the point that I cant see. in fact if you look at my sig picture my visor is open

Right, but we are discussing this in the context of eye protection.

My cousin does my work. He's about 2 hours south of Harrisburg. Way down in VA...but the guy is incredible. And the family discount is nice.

Full face helmet and sunglasses for me during the day and clear glasses under the full face at night.

I wear contacts and the wind is a bit much so if I open the shield I need the glasses...plus I don't want to take a chance of a bug hitting me in the eye. :idk:

When I ride cruisers...like a BigDog...Harley...Victory...etc...I don't wear a full face but I will wear my Wiley X glasses that have the foam around the lense to keep wind out.
