Shaving cream - the miracle substance. Washing your hands with it after handling fish will take the fish smell off. Now we find out it keeps helmet shields clear. My sakes, will the uses never end?

Riding in the rain: rain gear makes it much more pleasant. In fact, if one can stay dry riding in rain isn't all that bad. But water being what it is there isn't much that keep it completely out. After one long day in the rainI hadto take a shower to dry off enough so a towel could be used to get really dry. I've hydroplaned once on the bike. Really tightens the pucker string. Hardest part of riding in rainis the helmet shield fogging up. Gotta try the shaving cream. I've also heard that rubbing a slice of raw potato on the inside of your shield will prevent fogging up. Never tried it though.

Okay...I did get caught once in a rain storm with small hail in shorts and a tube top with no helmet once. That hurt.

Do I get points for that?

Now riding in the Fog is a whole different story.[sm=smiley21.gif]
Would night vision goggles work for that? HAHA!

It was purley for the shorts. The tube top is just sexy.
