Riding without eye protection?

t-homo · 08-11-2009, 11:30 AM

I always forget to take my clear shield with me when I am going to be out past dark, so I have ridden with the face shield up and not clear/yellow/dark glasses quite a few times. Fastest I've got was about 90 with no eye protection and they still didn't water a ton.

If I'm out past dark it's usually without a clear shield. And the Suomy mirrored shield is fucking dark. I like to cheat death and just ride with the visor down.

i've done the chrome visor down thing. life is interesting that way.
I also do the visor up with clear lenses thing, but can't ride without a lid. My eyes water at about 40 and I wear contacts so I hate to become suddenly blind

Between the wind and the bugs, I can't handle it. Hell, if it's even windy outside I wear wraparound sunglasses to keep the wind out of my eyes or else they water.
