terrible luck
got my bike back after 3 weeks of non riding.
getting my gear on, ready to drive it away from the shop
and my prescription glasses snap at the bridge in a place that I canot repair.....
almost got in two accidents on my way back
(im blind as a bat without glasses)
the last 2 times it happened, the frames were disconinued and I had to wait two weeks for new lenses in new frames, and pay 150+
knwoing my luck, it will be the same
anyone else have stories of terrible shitty luck to make this period of not being able to ride easier?

RE: terrible luck
I feel you pain as I have been wearing glasses since I was 3 (I'm 47). I always have a second (and third) set on hand just for these emergencies. Are they metal or plastic frames? If the are metal a jeweler may be able to silver solder them as a quick fix.

I was just going to say that. I've worn glasses since I was 5. My eyesight was so bad, the doc considered me legally blind in both eyes. I got the lasik surgery 2 years ago. Haven't had a problem.

RE: terrible luck
Tell me about it. It was weird. First thing in the mornings, I would grab my glasses before I did anything else. I couldn't see to do anything else. For about a week after the surgery, I still wanted to grab my glasses. It took my little boy awhile to get use to it also. He kept bringing his daddy his glasses. LOL
