Looks like you had fun Kwacky
Jon - I have the air and dont use a tinted visor, the inner one is more than enough. I was surprised but also happy especially the cost of dark visors ha ha.
I don't get any light getting into where I don't want it, plus you never have to carry a spare visor again.
Tip though - don't use to long with outer visor up and inner down, flies are a pain. You can remove and clean/replace the inner one, but it should never get scratched using this way.

Forgot to add, which is why I was here in the first place, went to West Hagbourne bike night last night, it was rammed, will post some pics soon.
It seems Oxfordshire has its fair share of these one night bike nights when a village is completely overtaken lol. Good night.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I took the long way home tonight. As I was sat at some lights when a car from my left turned right, she then parked alongside me to tell me the road ahead by the Waterman was closed. Nice women. Unlike the tosser behind me who blasted his horn, so I didn't pass on the message.
Anyway, I took another route. Had a race with a porsche which refused to let me go by. When I saw his brake lights come on mid corner I realised he wasn't comfortable so I backed off until I had a clear shot and then went by. It's all good fun until someone gets hurt.

No, I didn't take it. No limits didn't allow them at Mallory so I didn't bother. Then Focused told us they were fine provided they weren't on your lid.
I'll know for next time.

Seems a weird rule. You can't have it on your bike securely mounted but you can on the most important piece of safety equipment that you wear which was never tested or approved with a big lump of plastic hanging of it.

I think you misread that or I didn't make it very clear.
You can have it on your bike
You cannot have it on your lid.

Left it in the garage again annoying me now, I will sort it tonight if it kills me
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Took it out with the missus on the back.
Brilliant day.
Stopped for brunch...
My awesome wife took my tomatoes which I don't like, and gave me her bacon.
Which I love.
Found out the best method for ensuring that a pillion hangs on under acceleration.
Step 1. Accelerate until you feel your pillions grip tighten around you.
Step 2. Now you know she's holding on tight, nail it.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
On my ride into work I had to filter between two lines of traffic to pull alongside a Police van and tell him he had been indicating to turn right for the last 1/2 mile. He looked a bit surprised to see this biker appear alongside him
