kublakhangot a present in the mail today. A little something I ordered onlinewhen the weather turned cold. A fog shield for my motorcycle helmet.
"Motorcycle?" you say. "Isn't too cold to ride a motorcycle?!?" Yes, it is. Exposed skin in mid-30's temps at highway speeds HURTS from the cold. However, that's not going to stop me.
I love to ride and, as long as there's no snow, rain or sand on the roads, I'm riding. Sure, getting ready for work is a 10-15 minute ritual to make sure I'm covering every square inch of skin that might get exposed to the wind but when I'm out on the road with the wind buffeting my body, I feel free. Plus, my small bike gets me in and out of traffic a lot easier than my car ever could.
Problem is that when it gets this cold (mid-20s to 30s), my breath on the inside of my helmet would fog up the shield making it hard to see. I could raise the shield and let in some fresh air but that gets real cold REAL quick. That's where the shield comes in. I can huff and puff 'til I'm blue in the face and it'll never fog.
So, until it starts snowing and/or they put down sand, it's time to gear up and ride.
