Pet peeves on ride day....

Runs with Scissors said:
That's never bothered me, since their lack of helmet has absolutely no effect on my ride quality.

But I'm with @sir crashalot on the audible speakers. A pox on all their houses!!!

Out alone riding with tunes. No one ever has complained to me about that.

I run a 1200 on the bar and a 750 on my helmet and I think its not enough for my area. Overkill I guess.

Bright enough to

I missed my incomplete post here. I wrote a reply, and decided my intended post had nothing positive to offer, was deleting it and somehow hit the post button.

Sweat management. No matter what I try, I can’t keep sweat off my spectacles :bang:

Check this product out. You remove the existing front padding from helmet and replace with sweatbuster pad. I sweat a ton - halos and headsweats saturate quickly for me and become useless. The sweatbuster holds more sweat and does a better job keeping it from dripping into your face. Then you just wring it out, and it will absorb more. Doesn't eliminate dripping completely but it is far better than anything else I've tried. I started putting a bandana on too like Tom the Bomb, and that helped dissipate remaining sweat and pretty much solved the problem. Keeps the sun off your neck and face too. Try it... I've been using it for about 5 years now, never going back to anything else.

Love my Smith helmets, but they definitely drip sweat in my eyes really bad. This might be the fix!

Sorry, but when you blast your music when you ride around other people.....you are essentially saying "F*ck You, I'm gonna force myself into your personal space" to all the other people that you run across. It's a total lack of respect....and poor etiquette for all those around you. I generally refer to guys like this as "boombox". I put it in the same league as the idiots that blast their car stereos at stop lights.

Age has nothing to do with it. I've seen young riders that have no respect for other people....I've seen older riders that have no respect for other people. "Screw you....the world revolves around me".

Saw the holy grail today. "E-Boombox"
