Dont know if any o you guys saw it or not, but I got told few weeks ago there was a guy trying to get funding for a similar thing on the "Dragons Den" tv programme ,,,except his was integrated into a particular helmet ,ie you couldnt buy yer favourite lid and fit it

Got told the dragons told him to sling his hook

I remember seeing pix of this sort of device shown here in the sixties (from reading old motorcycle mags; I'm not that old!!!)

That's a much better idea, similar to the way they clear the screens on a ship.

I,ve seen a product that is a small wiper attached to a ring shaped fastener that slides over your finger when you have your glove on . Thinks it was only about Â£4 .
Nearly bought one but decided not to.

If you're going fast enough just look to your left and then to your right and all the rain runs off anyway.

'Course by then you're in the back of someone's Volvo.

Personally I just wipe the visor with my finger, it'll scratch eventually but that's what fingers are for.....

Now have pair of gloves with one finger having a nice soft area on the back for wiping the visor. works a treat .
