Not to diminish the seriousness of the subject but I have met a number of people who protect their nose with their boss' anus.

I would try to cover it with some type of chemical, or cloth. Perhaps something like Plasti-Dip. It peels off easily.

The name has changed a few times. I was in there in October when it was the Suncoast Bar & Grill. Mediocre food at best and the "cook" walked out that night. It is now known as "Mango Tango's" as of a month or so ago. Rode by it yesterday on the way to The Shed. The menu was changed apparently and for whatever reason, that place still draws people in. I still miss Neon Leon's back in the day before it got run down by the owner

Here's the most important thing I've read about skin cancer: If you had more than one peeling sunburn before you were 15, your risk is huge. Keep an eye on your skin.

I had the same thing as you...on the right side of my face next to my right eye. Had about 5 or 6 stitches with another 2 or 3 internal stitches next to my eye....the Dr. got it all out.

Wonder if I am only one with this problem and what might help next season?

one time I tried bandage type strips and it helped are there any other solutions? I will prefer not to use full face masks etc.
Trying to avoid the "old skin cancer kinda thing" are you? Probably a smart thing to do. Even wearing a full face helmet won't keep the pesky sun from your schnozzolla from exposure to the sun's harmful rays. But, it may lessen it.
Oh yeah, cover yer arms too...

Skin cancer is a stupid way to die early...

Let's compromise and say that Western society has recognized the problem and enacted methods to slowly reverse the destructive trend? It's not a done deal - 3rd World/China wants concessions.

What at do you guys use to steer your bike? I hate using my hands, feet, torso, legs, arms, head
or torso.
