Re: Riding Glasses
I roll with clear safety glasses that I got from the local Autozone. $2.99 + tax if I do recall.

KD's are nice, biker style from the 50s, they make them clear and in sunglasses. I have sunglasses and they're cheap and nice, small design with a whole lot of peripheral vision. Found mine on Ebay

Re: Riding Glasses
the curved (so they conform to the face) ten dollar Pugs sunglasses from my local BP station work for me during the day and I bought a bunch of curved safety glasses from Northern tool that work great for night rides and they were only a couple bucks each.

Some people like the foam lined sunglasses but I never found them to be comfortable myself (too much pressure around the eye socket and bridge of nose, goggles work better at that point). If going this route, I recommend buying from a store where you can try them on rather than ording online.

And I..........agree.
Then Wiguy05 sez: '$2.99 safety glasses...'
Now, let's see what that great Italian motor racer - Emilio LaMiglia has to say:
"MamaMIA! Dosa glesses alwaysa flyoffa my FAZE!"
Ya got that right, Emilio! Anything else?
'I putta 'em on.....taka 'em off.....MaFUNGUMAS! Dey a-scadatcha up!"
And there you have it, folks. Nobody knows better than good ol' Mr LaMiglia!

Re: Riding Glasses
Greetings:
I've had my Wiley-X from HD dealer for 8 years. Lenses can pop out for swap to clear for night rides. I even had a set of prescription lenses made with a light tint for when I forget my contacts...
If you keep doing that you'll go blind.
Can I just do it until I need glasses?

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.
