Repressing a sneeze is supposed to be very bad for you, go ahead sneeze, then pull over and clean your visor, or anything else that needs cleaning.

Rain really isn't a problem. It's so close to your face you can see past the droplets much easier than in a car. And you can always just wipe it off with your glove.

Sneezing... I just got over a nasty cold, so I got the sneezing routine down into 7 easy steps. I wear a flip up helmet. Not sure how you fixed full face people do it...

1. Feel sneeze coming on.
2. Sneeze builds up.
3. Race to flip up chin/ turn head to left side/ place left hand on back of seat
4. BLACHOOO!!!
5. Check to make sure you aren't going to run into anything/feel followup sneeze coming on/turn head to left side.
6. BLACHOOO!!!
7. Flip helmet back down and continue riding.

Definitely don't forget the head turn.

Jam one finger from your left hand up each nostril. You won't sneeze, but you need to wipe the dried on boogers off your gloves next stop. And explain how they got there

So that's what you were doing........

Dam, I just lost 5 bucks to Corby.

I don't sneeze when I ride with you guys. I'm moving so fast the wind keeps my nose constantly free of obstructions...

Would that be due to the wind tunnel effect that is created by your empty head that allows the wind to shoot straight in your nose and out your ears?

Do you want the explanation that makes you look like an idiot? Or should we just say no, that isn't it?

I'll go with option A. Since I was joking and it is obvious that you have no sense of humour I am interested to see what you can come up with.
Hit me with your best shot.

I've been known to put the ol' left hand up the front of the helmet and kablooey - it at least keeps snot off the helmet. As for fog - "Cat Crap" works wonders. My Mom got me some for my glasses/goggles so I wouldn't fog up on the convoy up from Kuwait. I brought it home with me on R&R and coated my face shield with it - no fogging problems. The stuff is safe for plastic, and is apparently pretty popular in the ski/snowboard community. The soap trick works too - a plain old stick of ivory, rub it on like hard wax, and buff it off - works for a few hours anyway (got me through OSUT/Airborne).

If it is raining, then go ahead and sneeze, then flip up the shield for a minute or so... the rain water should do the cleaning for you!
If it ain't raining, well then you're on your own...Good luck...
