i had an arai vector that fogged easily, but the shoei hornet is worse.
the hyper optics version of the fog city seems to work better than the regular anti fog but it costs more too.. I have pin lock on my xd.. it works great and i am very hard on my gear. well abusive and neglectful .

They've posted a flash flood warning for the area saturday due to rain in excess of 1" on top of already saturated ground. The alts. may need to be postponed, there are river crossings you know.

There was five or six of them in the first alt. if I remember right and a couple of them were fairly deep a month ago.

We should probably send a couple of people ahead to check them out while the rest of us hold back.

I noticed they said "may" produce large hail. It might only be small hail.

My camera is water proof. I'll take some video of the water crossings. Should I pack my riding suit or my wetsuit...
