 ??? Just to add an awkward motorcycling comment to an otherwise inane thread - IF it does rain we all need to be cautious because I think America's Strategic Oil Reserves are coating the pavement of the metroplex ! I've seen too many diesel trails to count & I feel sorry for the living beings that will die when that crap all washes into the storm drains. Maybe if the price of oil went really high people would fix their crappy leakin rides !!

Sorry - I haven't found the RANT thread & this one wasn't going anywhere anyway !! [bang]

I was caught riding in a sudden downpour last Friday afternoon going south on Loop 12 near 183. Needless to say, it was like riding on ice...not that I've ever actually ridden on ice--just guessin'.  :P

Sorry to threadjack this b*tch and ya'll can call me out, but, DLS, Tommy is killing me!  I'm getting "that's what she said" for nearly every comment I make and he's saying lots of other things under his breath that I don't even understand, but I think it's directed at me and it's not very nice.  He actually holds back on you guys, and now me and my momma are gettin it all!

 [moto] I went for a little rain ride so I will know the difference in the old Metzlers & the new ones when I get them put on soon & have a question for any of y'all that like riding in the rain or have a lot of experience with it.  How do you keep your visor clean enough to see out of ? I don't mind the windscreen being sorta opaque but too many raindrops on the visor makes me uncomfortable because I can't see - Duh !

So is there a water repeller spray, chamois, sponge or something that works for you ?  Squeegee-ing with a gloved finger kinda helps - but post up oh all wise Ducatisti!  Or is this a question for the boring beemer ironbutt channel ?

Thanks !  [thumbsup]

I have heard NO to Rain-X for a long time on helmet visors so I have heeded the unproven rumor and never tried it. Arai shields are like $45+ and I don't want to use one as a guinea pig only to maybe ruin it. I haven't had much trouble with rain and visors. At decent speed I just turn my head a little and the wind blows it off to the side or I use a finger on my left glove as a "wiper". My insulated winter gloves have a mini squeegy on the thumbs for just that reason. I believe there is an add on, aftermarket squeegy thing you slip over your glove thumb/finger to do the same thing. I can't remember where I've seen them but I know I have.

 [moto]  For sure I will be commuting downtown in the car today so dodging the rain is probably always best if possible.  When cycling I've pulled over a waited out the heavy stuff before - high water sorta freaks me because you never know what's under it - probably the pothole to China !

I want to do some touring in the Fall and next Spring.  It seems inevitable that I will have to ride some in rain, hence my desire to build some skill through experience so that I don't have to worry.  Just wanting to know if there are tools that help because I've done some rain riding - I just find the visor thing really annoying!  :-\

 [thumbsup] Thanks for the RainX warning Brian - seemed like a good idea - I worry about using the finger of the glove because of scratching the visor.  Part of my problem may be the aeroflow screen - at speed it flips the water over me but at the town speeds <40mph it seems to add to the spray hitting the helmet & makes it more mist like !  I tried tucking down behind it some & that helped with the visor but then I'm looking through a double layer of crud  [bang]!

I'll look for the finger squeegee thing - seems like a great idea for the tankbag tool collection !

Thanks for the suggestions!

Kevin - we could probably group buy again at MotoLib but these deals only cost $8.00 !! (Shipping is probably $10.00) -  I feel certain that Rich & RichD would look at this & say " windshield wiper, velcro, dremel moto tool - lets GO "

I kinda have gotten in trouble before for threadjacking, you know, and I don't think everyone likes to hear about how much I like to work out and call people names... ;D, but if you really need to know, since it's raining and everything, I am doing lower body today and I've offered for you all to come and watch at golds in crowley.  I will put you to work though, I won't tolerate laziness.

Also, we say ya'll in KY too, but then I spent some time in many other states where they don't say it so much and I guess I lost a little of that hometown talk....every now and then it resurfaces, I'll work on it ya'll.
