RE: riding glasses
Transition type glasses don't get dark enough when the sun is directly on the horizon. Interchangeable lenses are a pain in the butt to change when you need to have a different color lens. I carry a dark pair for daylight and a clear pair for night. Works great.

I have the large framed Oakley M. I have been wearing those for years. But I suprised myself and bought a Clear pair of Safety Glasses from another Orange H store--- HOME DEPOT. I think I may have spent about $8-$10.00 for a nice pair of clear impact resistant glasses to keep in my Tour Pack. I have worn Oakleys for as long as I can remember and even some HD glasses, but I am eyeing the $10.00 tinted safety glasses at Home Depot.

RE: riding glasses
I prefer to protectmy eyes withthe bestsunglasses available. I've used Gargoyles andhave been wearing Ocean Waves for the last few years. Something that will take a hit from flying rocks is what you need. My wife and I were riding on a bridge and a big truck carrying a load of pea gravel approached from the opposite direction. I got hit on the leg and a rock took out one of her passing lamps and she got hiton one of her sunglass lenswhich cracked but protected her eye. Loosing an eye would suck for sure. If ya gonna ride, expect the worse and be protected.

I have one clear and one smoke pair of Guard Dogs Terminator goggles. You can get them for about $ 25.00 and replacement lenses for around $ 8.00. They're way better than the old "Bobster" goggles they replaced.

RE: riding glasses
I'll throw in another recomendation for Oakleys - I have a pair of M-Frame Pros (one piece frame, it doesn't fold) - with 4 lenses that I use for everything outdoors.
Since I'm blind as a bat, I picked up an RX adapter from http://www.svedoptics.com/which I also highly recomend.

A pair of Icicles saved my eyes in a wreck once, they since discontinued the style (regular, flat-faced with round lenses). Now they seem to only do a wrap-around style. Fine, unless like me, your eyelashes grow as fast as your hair. The "Curv-Z's" have been good, economically priced and the light blue lenses work against xenon-discharge glare better than the yellows. Search the web for Lane eyewear, I bought mine at Illinois H-D

RE: riding glasses
I buy mine at the local tool outlet store! They are actually saftey glasses. They have some really good looking styles and they run about $3.00 to $5.00 each. I pick up 3 or 4 pair when I go in. I use to ride with Gargoyles all the time. They run about $80.00 or more a pair. I like what I have now better because it don`t matter if I loose them or mess them up. I always have an extra pair.
Ride Safe,
