Default How do they do it.

I see people riding with no glasses fairly~ regular.
How do they not loose an eye.

My eyes can't take the wind so i have no desire to ride without glasses i just can't understand how they can be "lucky" enough to not loose an eye or both.

I took these pics after my 31 mile AM ride.
Not great pics but you get the idea......

You only see them riding before they lose an eye. They don't ride much after that.

I have been hit in the glasses with a June bug and it just about knocked me off of the bike. Had I not been wearing them I am pretty sure I would not be seeing out of that eye. Glasses all the time, every time!!! Any passenger as well MANDATORY. I am not going to be responsible for someone else's eye.

I never see anyone without glasses that I can think of.
Why would someone not wear glasses?

As a young lad first starting out used to ride all the time without glasses a lot of us did.Honestly back then 50's/60's we were not aware of all the things todays bikers are.Heck so many of the things today that are supposed to harm us we did all the time back then and never gave it a second thought, we are still healthy as horses.
