A must for every biker
Found this on that infamous selling site. Think it may work better on the screen on the RT.

Re: A must for every biker
I've seen spinning visors in old biker photos, not too sure why you'd want one of these as Rainx or similar work well

Re: A must for every biker
I remember those spinny visors. Always advertised in MCN. Never saw anyone with one. Back in the 80's when it rained you would have a shower running down the inside of your visor. I tried draft excluder but that only worked when the foam was dry. The younguns don't know how lucky they are with waterproofs that are waterproof, pin locks, working brakes, and tyres that aren't made from Teflon.

Friend of mine brought one of these into the work one day.... as you do, we then took turns clamping it to our heads while another blew compressed air onto it some workout for the neck muscles

Another crap accessory you must have for the summer. Ventz airflow cooling system.
You slide these under your jacket cuffs to allow air up your sleeve. How about floorboard fringes? Or even a Wheelie trainer. Only £1600
