Magic in the tempest…..

I like that.

Rain, like most other weather, can be good or bad depending on circumstance. If prepared, mentally and physically, I’m ready for pretty much anything except hailstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and, well, that’s it.

I’ll have to look into that. A friend told me Lemon Pledge works even better at cleaning and protecting the visor. He said he learned that from a helicopter pilot who uses it for the bubble.

Rain without rain gear can be wonderful if it doesn’t last too long, and it’s nice and hot out. Like my recent ride in the everglades with Conchscooter.

Rain during daylight with calm air is fine. Add wind as you say or night and it gets more stressful. My visor is just terrible now with rain. Seems like I can never really sweep it clear with a glove anymore. The First Gear jacket is great and windproof. Old Tourmaster Overpants lost their water protection long ago. When I arrived home and pulled them off Kim took a look at my jeans and asked, “Did you piss yourself?”

I’ve yet to find a solution for good visibility when one’s helmet visor is not shedding water anymore….
