This is a good way to get the waterproof on over the boots. Put a couple of Tescos finest ( no the Coops as they now charge !! ) over the feet and the trousers just slide over as if you just had socks on.

Shoei have a second inside visor which really helps in colder times. Pin lock I think its called. Keep you lid in the house, not garage as the visor is already warm and your breath does not make it steam up.

Get some decent waterproofs!

In my yoof when I needed a new tyre on the bike I got up to 10mph ( yes ten ) and then locked the back wheel in the wet. You then learn to control the skids. Dont blame me if you are a slow learner!!

I had a minor 'off' in a heavy downpour about a year ago and that really killed my confidence. But steadily I regained it by slowing down, being smoother with the controls and concentrating more on the traffic around me. Not had a problem since.

One thing you can buy is rain away and out that on your visor basically when you get over 40mph + the rain just clears away from your visor by its self.

I use rain away on my visor and car windscreen

Only costs about £7 a bottle
