Crash helmet visors shed water nicely and keep fairly clear .They'll cause a lot less drag than a big wind anchor stuck on top of the car.Mind you with the size of some of the engines planned on here its not going to make a whole heap of difference

the faster you go the drips get pushed out to the sides by the wind as the visor is curved not flat like a windscreen
Selfishly, i just dont want hair stuck to my lip gloss - I was kinda thinking more "chitty chitty bang bang" than "torque" (google it - its a very good bike film) btw i would love to ride a bike but i cannot balance on my two feet let alone two wheels - and all that hand and foot cor-ordination jez too much for my little mind - i cant walk and wave at the same time without falling over some ant in my path sadly no joke

Crash helmet = bad hair shallow maybe but true, also the water has to go somewhere - usually down one's neck on in one's lap - whereas windscreen creates a magical shell to keep me dry(ish)

ANYWAY my sunglasses wont fit inside my Shuberth

Reminds me of my mrs.
I'm fairly adventurous and wouldn't mind a bit of slumming to get to some great places.Maccu piccu (or however its spelt) Ayers Rock ,The Amazon,South seas----But the first Question is "Will I be able to plug in my hairdrier?"
SecondQuestion "Will there be hot showers?"
Majorca here we go again

With regards wipers or not, I've used Rain-x http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/270855345769?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&va r=sbar&adtype=pla on windscreens and visors, and it works well as long as you appy it fairly regularly.

Hope that helps with the 'discussions'
