did 160kmph/60miles with 1/2 helmet, contacts& rayban predators on my triumph street twin. It was no problem at all at that speed. Aviators are worst for speed. Wayfarer are not bad. But wraparound are the best for speed.

Yes, my Wayfarers don’t do that good with my short shield but my Daddy O’s do great.

Can't say it enough..."Liberty Sport" for motorcycles. I'm on my 6th pair (only due to prescription changes). Just got the Triumph...awesome eyewear.

harbor freight safety shades work for me and they're less than $2.

I went through a ton of glasses before I found these. They completely seal out the wind and are cheap to boot.

Same answer I gave to your other thread. If you enjoy eating, smiling, talking, spending quality time with your lady or man... etc I'd re examine your premise.

Or you could just not ride a motorcycle if you’re that worried about it. In fact never leave the house because sometimes bad things happen.

I went with goggles because I couldn’t see with my eyes watering.

lol. That's a pretty big leap. It's all about mitigating risk to the level one is personally comfortable with. I just said to think about it/consider it.

Again, it's all about personal preference. For example, when I cross the street, I like to look both ways first. You don't have to, but I'd rather.
