Just a quick one.

Riding about since the sun has come out for the first time this week. So 2 lanes were merging into 1; saw this white van coming up my outside, pulled up next to me trying to push past, I turned my head to look at the driver then the next thing I know is he is about 5-6 car lengths back and when we stop he maintains that distance.

Same thing happened on the way back with a merc and he did the same thing. (My visor is a rainbow tint if that makes any difference)

Not intimidating, but they make you look like a badass, and make women want to sleep with you.

They are when you stop beside someone and just point at them, motionless, and just wait until they drive away.

I never thought they were myself, before reading your post but hey, result Thumbs Up Very Happy Thumbs Up

I currently have a black visor but have been looking into getting an iridium one for a little while. I think it's just gone back to the top of my shopping list. Anything that can keep white vans away has got to be a good thing, as my only two RTC's were caused by white vans.

Motocross body armour under a hoodie is far more intimidating because it makes you look fuckin' massive & ard.


Hoodie over my leathers with their f--king hump makes me look like the hunchback of notre dam in contrast Thumbs Down

I think black visors looks best on light coloured lids. They are not as nice on dark lids compared to shiny visors.

I have never considered them intimidating, I don't know why anyone would feel that way

I suspect they are to people who don't ride. To us they are just a choice/fashion statement/sun glasses.

Probably it's the can't see your face thing as someone said earlier.

I have this lid:

But with a clear visor. In order to improve my sexiness and love making skills which colour should I go for?
