    Use racer-style tear-offs....guys will think your totally hardcore, chicks will find you irresistible, and your Mom will finally stop pestering you to "settle down with someone nice and give her a grandkid or two"!!

    I always carry a little bottle of "Windex" and a terry-cloth with me...alternately...carry some paper towels with you....place the paper towel over the visor and spray some cleaner on it...leave it to sit for 10 mins while you smoke a ciggie then remove it....voila!...totally clean visor!!

    Don't smoke??...time to start!!

    v2 linky it's a small sponge, about £3 fits under seat or in your pocket, wet it, keep it in packet for the day, job done, small cloth to dry after.
     
  8. Is that a linky fail?

    It pissed down all day here. I like riding in the rain but this morning it was like a monsoon, and I need a new back tyre, not quite illegal but not far off = no playtime for Edski today. So no fly problem here :cry:
