These contact lenses block glare and such...they also come in prescription form. Sounds like something that can be applied to bikers also...it would be nice to have a set of contacts that also serves as sun blockers.

If they can only come out with the kind that automatically clear when you come indoors!

Very cool concept. I think I might ask my doctor about those soon to try them out.

Sounds great. I only wish I could manage to put my contacts in...stupid contacts. I have a half a year's supply sitting in my medicine cabinet, that for the life of me I can't manage to get in :(

Specifically, you put one (and only one) in each eye.

Putting more than one contact lens in an eye may cause physical discomfort and loss of visual acuity.
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

Ask to see if your building can make motorcycle specific parking slots.

My building has so many motorcycles, that there are specific areas for motorcycles, with smaller, motorcycle sized lines. Makes it very easy. Problem is that even those areas are getting overcrowded. You have to get in early to get a spot.

My guess is he's replying to the thread on parking etiquette and somehow ended up here.

Those contacts look cool. I'd get some just to scare people. :D

Damn, I didn't know that! :mrgreen:

So reading this motivated me to go and try putting my contacts in again...30 minutes later nothing but aggrivation. Bah :evil:
