RE: Riding with Perscription glasses, and a helmet..
I absolutely HATE riding with my glasses on. I always wear my contacts whenever I can. Glasses are a PITA, especially if they're not the tightest fitting, then they just bounce all around, which in turn makes the road and everything else bounce all around too, lol. Then they fog up real bad in cooler weather, always gotta take them on and off with the helmet.... an overall PITA. But if you don't want to wear contacts, it's the only way I guess.

^^+1 Hate riding w/ glasses. [:'(]
I ride with sunglasses once in a while, but have to slide on after helmet is on.
Very hard to readjust when they slide off w/ gloves on especialy at a stop light.
Problem w/ contacts is air blowing in under the face shield and drying out or sliding around on my eyeball.
Only other solution would be going under the laserbeam. [sm=insomnia.gif]

I wore glasses under my helmet for a couple years, it was definitely a PITA
I never could wear contacts, my eyes dried out really bad and the contacts drove me nuts
had LASIK done this time last year and now I don't know how I lived with glasses for so long

Same with me, I can't ride without my glasses and don't use contacts. It's a pain to have to take them off before pulling the helmet off.Sometimes I have to shake my head while riding to adjust them, etc. I wear clip- on sunglasses too which sucks even more, lol. And no I don't want to change my visor right now, I like it clear.

Wow, sometimes you forget how good you may have it. I had to buy different faceshields do block the sun, or make the dreary day look brighter. I could not stand putting sunglasses on and off everytime the helmet got put on or off. I would always forget, then try and take the helmet off and they would get stuck. PITA!!!!!
Not trying to rub it in, but I am very thankfull for not needing glasses. Yet!!!!!! I could only imagine how difficult it would be for those who wear their glasses while driving.
