zoo, you might want to hang on to one or two in case you ride to a different state.

I have a question for you. I know that you like to ride helmet less, but if you were to give a ride to someone, would you require that they ride helmetless as well, or would you let them wear a helmet if they were more comfortable or felt safer?
Or do you ever give anyone a ride?

I actually bought the 3/4 just for the trip I took to Tennessee. I'm not actually giving my helmets away. Gotta have something when it rains or when it's cold.

It's their choice. The Skid-Lid fits neatly in a saddlebag, so I usually bring it along just in case. I also carry three pair of glasses.

Paid $200.00 for the pillion that goes with my solo, so yeah, when the opportunity arises.

One of the guys I ride with sometimes has a tinted/mirrored visor on his full-face that he normally doesn't change and carries a pair of clear glasses (don't know if they are safety glasses or from a m-c shop) that he tosses on in the evenings so he can leave his visor up.

There are numerous brands that make yellow lenses for night driving. Personally, I have a couple of pairsof Vuarnet Lynx(yellow-night) of glasses that I really like. The only drawback is that Vuarnets are made of glass and not saftey material but I still prefer them over plastic safety glasses ofr personal reasons.

I don't like yellow at night, but can see why some people would. I like yellow for skiing at night.

Glass lenses on a bike?

I'd rather not wear glasses at all..

If you don't mind dropping $120, there are sunglasses that turn clear when the sun goes down.

"I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can
So I can..."

That's how the song goes, but don't believe everything you hear.

Try this. Put on your sunglasses in your bedroom with the lights on, shades drawn and door closed. Then turn off the light.

Can you see??
