Ok riding in the rain is not my favorite thing, but it happens. I don't mind it so much as I have rain gear. The only part that makes it misserable is that I can't see. With glasses on they bead up with water and I can't see. Take the glasses of and go bare, the rain gets in the eyes and hurts like a bitch.
How do you all deal with riding in the rain to see?

About the only time I will wear a helmet is in the rain (unless I'm riding in a helmet law state of course) I have a half helmet that I can attach a faceshield to and it works pretty well.

If you have a windshield,I've learned to get down like riding a crotch rocket behind the shield.At least you don't swallow all that water.You can see a lot better also.

I have a shield on my 3/4 that I put glass wax on and it sheds the rain pretty well. I don't own a FF so have no experience but would guess that the glass wax would work on that shield also. The glass wax seems to stand up better than RainX. When I hit rain with my 1/2 I will put a bandana across my face over my nose just under where my glasses ride, this will absorb a lot of the water and will keep most of it from blowing up into your eyes. It also keeps the stinging to a minimum. Not a great solution but it's the best I've tried.
