I wear a ¾ helmet with a hinge down clear visor. Works for me. Oh..... and a spray of that stuff that stops rain obscuring it. :2tup:

That sounds like a good idea.... and an excuse to ride the bike.

Re: Training Videos

You can read all the right books, watch all the right videos - they are great for learning the theory of what you are trying to do. But IMHO, there's nothing like first-hand instruction by a human being to learn something right. They watch you and critique you and advise you, 'till you do it correctly. It's much harder to unlearn bad habits later than to learn them correctly the first time. The fact that you can ride and not crash or fall over may not mean that you are good, you may just have been lucky. My advice - Arrange to take the MSF course before you get too smart for your own good.

Re: Training Videos

The actual trainer being there to instruct you is amazing. I was lucky for decades but after a riders training course I was a much better and safer rider.
