Just speed up a little more and tilt yor head left/right. The wind will brush those guts right off.

I'd be too concerned about smearing. Smeared guts on the visor is annoying. I just keep an Oakley cleaning kit in my bag and everytime I stop I clean the visor.

I personally don't care to try that but I've heard that Gene Simmons of KISS has the procedure down to a science!

Try to avoid that while moving. I have had to wipe off my visor when riding in the rain. What a pain that is!

Wally world sells premoistened wipes in a packet that you open when you use the wipe and it's moistened with alcohol.

You can buy gloves with little wiper blades next to the index finger. This guy is wearing a set.

The windshield takes almost all the bugs, not much makes it to the helmet.
