Is it wrong to...

Willrideforcake

... wear MX goggles with a regular open face trail helmet? On a recent trip to the Quantocks I got fed up of my eyes streaming on some of the combe descents (especially Smith's) whilst wearing Radars, and so resorted to using my O Frames instead (just for the downs, mind). Hey presto, instantly clear vision. Now I accept that I may have looked a complete eejit, but will I be summarily executed by the fashion police?

its whatever works for you, if you feel more confident and its safer for you to wear them then wear them. As long as they are colour co-ordinated to colours on your bike you will be fine

I'm tempted to start doing the same, It's really pissing me off having to slow down on fast descents cos you can't see a thing in front of you.

delcol

it's your head and your eyes you wear what you want....

i often ware goggles with my openface tld lid...

even worse when u wear glasses all the time... because being able to see is for the privilaged. when ur eyes p1ss , it can squirt allover the inside of ur glasses. then u really have to STOP, try to find some dry part of ur tshirt etc and wipe em clean.

i think my very next purchase "after" the "Hydration backpack" (as i seen it called on a website lol) will be some garish goggles i have my own style, and its usualy completely uncoordinated muahahaha :twisted:

sorry, i wasn't aware i was using text speak, im sorry i may drop the occasional "text speak" word or what ever etc. but its not like evry othr wrd s lke m spkn fkn txt u bg hry mpt!

im not being like all "oh poor me" or im not asking for sympathy etc before u flame me, i am dyslexic, and im crap with words, it take real concentration and effort for me to punctuate and spell correctly. so just give a brother a chance, and by looking at it, i replace "you with u and you're / your with ur" and thats aout it, so if u have such a big problem with it, speak to a moderator, instead of making a pointless pot about the way i type.



Prick!

Very adult of you to make a lame assed excuse then call me a prick.

NB: One of the senior Mods here is dyslexic, but he copes with it by using the browser based spelling and grammar checkers.

well thats nice for him, but its "only" a forum, its not like im applying for a 75k a year top job and every little full stop and capital letter counts. like i said, its no excuse. thats just how i type, im not gonna change for you, or anybody so deal with it



Prk!




p.s. raymond, i'm gonna START using just text speak, just for you. because of you, so if anyone has a problem with it, they can ALL blame you GL & HF!

Raymondavalon

Carry on..

As per the Forum rules, which can be viewed on the Stikcies at the top:

3) Use proper English, the use of "txt talk" will be looked upon in a dim light. Do NOT post messages all in caps.

It's your membership at stake here, so please do carry on..

Rampant bulls**t aside:

Do what feels right. You'll look a bit weird but then, all mtbers look a bit weird. Ideally do it like Crawfy:



Mental look in eyes, going too fast, all the time.

As for glasses, try contacts.

kinmofo

well the moderators can see for thier self, where i didn't use text speak. but im guessing you;ve had a bad day, no suck from the mrs this morning huh? because you just picked on me at complete random. thanks its much appreciated!

you really know how to make someone feel welcome, i cant wait... and i mean i cant wait for you to even slip up, just once, so i can jump on you as fast and ferociously as you did to me.

Prk!
