RE charges so much and has such a ridiculous design...

Had rear tyres splatter dirt all over my visor many times. Incidently not a single one from RE for reason that there are few RE on the road. No doubt that I did the same to many others as well. A big mud flap hanging from the rear mud guard is the only answer. Though I wouldn't do that

Takes me an hour to office. Riding daily in heavy rain for an hour, I've come to learn something. Bought several rain suit. An hour of heavy pounding by rain, I get wet anyway. Especially the crotch and shoes. Mind you, my shoes..boots to be precise... are water proof, though it doesn't help when water seeps in from top. The pants will ride up when you sit on the bike. Also when you sit, your crotch and thighs are at such an angle that rain seeps in from the waist area when rain pounds those areas with great force continuously. Since there are no proper rain suit for riding, I had to make do with whatever's available. So I decided to make them a little better myself.
I chopped off the arms from another rain jacket. Put elastic bands on each ends and slipped then on my lower legs. Now my legs are completely water proof
. Next I carry my bag on the front inside the jacket. Been reaching my destination completely dry ever since.
Lastly, I have two helmets, One has no issues with rain. The other one..the inside part of the visor get wet because rain seeps in from between the visor and the shell because there is a small gap even when completely shut. I just pasted a strip of something (don't know the name. You find the on packings) there. Now inside visor remains dry. Only have to wipe the outside now and then while riding
