Cheap solution that works for me. customfighter, I will not knock anyone with enough sense to wear a helmet, and even more so a full faced helmet. Safety wise, it's a great idea. If you wear one, and you are comfortable with it, great. In Minnesota, we don't have a helmet law, and I choose not to wear one, but not for lack of trying them. I've tried many. I personally can't stand the drag a half helmet gives me, and don't like the lack of wind a full face gives me. I like being in the wind. That is why I don't have a fairing, or windshield either. This is also why I prefer to ride a motorcycle, not drive a car. However, due to my riding preference, it almost forces me to be a fair weather rider. But I'm O.K. with that. peace To all talking about glasses staying on,

I have just found that the Wildside Eyewear glasses exceeds all my expectations for riding glasses. Yes they are pricey but you will be pleased whenyou open the box and see them and even more pleased when you ride with them. I mean no offense about rice but I just don't do rice at all. www.wildsideeyewear.com I never have worn any glasses that would look cool, protect, stay on at any speed, on any rice bike of any brand.

Which is important if you want to be able to see while you're riding. :-0 LOL. I personally use the Foamerz II by Bobster. They have a great selection of sunglasses with foam that actually look good and all my friends swear by that brand. Their prices are easy on the wallet too. Mr. Motorcycle,

I own a pair. I'm just not a fan of the look. They remind me of Tom Cruise in the movie, Risky Business. I think T.C. is a dweeb. Slag, Glad to have someone back me up. I didn't think I was alone out there. I'll look up Wildside eyewear. Thanks for the tip. Rodent, Nothing wrong with KD’s. I own a pair. I’m just not a fan of the look.

Thw wind thing and watery eyes. I ride with no bug screen and don't like goggles either. I have found after much trial & error along with expense that a company in Boring,OR. by the name of Wildside Eyewear has the the best motorcycle glasses going. They are made from machined alumnium and have the foam nose piece to protect from wind at any speed. The lens are interchangable and will make bright sunny days and the nighttime ride enjoyable. On top of all this ,they are way cool looking and you can expect comments about them where ever you go.The company will take care of you as far as repair, replacement, etc: I agree with Mr. Motorcycle .

Great concept, but I believe the designer may have missed having bikers actually ride with them at higher speeds. The lenses may well do their job for increased clarity in night vision, but how about wind resistance. If you're riding with a windshield, they should be fine, but those of us who don't ride with windshields know that most people need riding glasses, or goggles with a solid nose bridge piece, or wind enters under the glasses, and makes your eyes water at any decent amount of speed. (I speak for myself at least.) I'm sure there are people out there who ride without a windshield and wear those types of glasses just fine. On the other hand, I can't be alone here with the watery eyes thing either. Mind you, I say this without actually trying this pair of glasses, and or seeing their line up and knowing exactly what they have available. I know the shape of your face, the shape of your glasses, etc. all play a part. I do like their idea, and if they have a pair suited for riding with a solid nose bridge, I'd sure like to see them. I checked out their web-site before posting this comment. They all appeared to have the flexible temples pieces in them and I did not see anything that looked like a solid seal area at the nose bridge for keeping the wind out of the eyes. I posted this long comment about glasses, as I've invested alot in riding glasses over the years. For the amount of money some people have spent in windshields, I've probably invested in riding eyewear, trying to find that perfect pair that is comfortable without being foam sealed goggles. The best I've come up with so far was an old pair of Oakleys. I've since broken them. I now ride with a pair of Ray Bans that have a sealed nose bridge, and they let air in around the top. Can't win em all. I dont think I'm alone out there. …”If”… and I repeat if, this is a photo of the “actual” glasses they have designed for riding motorcycles, then I believe have not done their homework.
