sunnies

JESUS CHRIST: How blest are those who know that He's a god. How blest
are the sorrowful. They shall find consolation. How blest are those of
gentle spirit. They shall have the earth for their possession. How
blest are those who hunger and thirst to see right prevail.
RANDOM: [cough cough]
JESUS: They shall be satisfied. How blest are those whose hearts are
pure. They shall see God...
MANDY: Speak up!
MAN: Shh.
BRIAN: Quiet, Mum.
JESUS: How blest are those of gentle...
MANDY: Well, I can't hear a thing.
JESUS: ...spirit. They shall have the earth for their possession.
MANDY: Let's go t' the stoning.
JESUS: How blest are those...
MR. BIG NOSE: Shh.
JESUS: ...who hunger and thirst...
BRIAN: You can go to a stoning any time.
JESUS: ...to see right...
MANDY: Oh, come on, Brian.
JESUS: ...prevail.
MR. BIG NOSE: Will you be quiet?!
JESUS: How blest are they who have suffered much...
MRS. BIG NOSE: Don't pick your nose.
MR. BIG NOSE: I wasn't picking my nose. I was scratching.
MRS. BIG NOSE: You was picking it, while you was talking to that lady.
MR. BIG NOSE: I wasn't!
MRS. BIG NOSE: Leave it alone. Give it a rest.
MR. CHEEKY: Do you mind? I can't hear a word he's saying.
MRS. BIG NOSE: Don't you 'do you mind' me. I was talking to my husband.
MR. CHEEKY: Well, go and talk to him somewhere else. I can't hear a
bloody thing.
MR. BIG NOSE: Don't you swear at my wife.
MR. CHEEKY: I was only asking her to shut up, so I can hear what he's
saying, Big Nose.
MRS. BIG NOSE: Don't you call my husband 'Big Nose'!
MR. CHEEKY: Well, he has got a big nose.
GREGORY: Could you be quiet, please?
JESUS: They shall have the earth...
GREGORY: What was that?
JESUS: ...for their possession. How blest are those...
MR. CHEEKY: I don't know. I was too busy talking to Big Nose.
JESUS: ...who hunger and thirst to see...
MAN #1: I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers.'
JESUS: ...right prevail.
MRS. GREGORY: Ahh, what's so special about the cheesemakers?
GREGORY: Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It
refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
MR. CHEEKY: See? If you hadn't been going on, we'd have heard that,
Big Nose.
JESUS: How blest are those who...
MR. BIG NOSE: Hey. Say that once more; I'll smash your bloody face in.
MRS. GREGORY: Ohh.
MR. CHEEKY: Better keep listening. Might be a bit about 'Blessed are
the big noses.'
BRIAN: Oh, lay off him.
MR. CHEEKY: Oh, you're not so bad yourself, Conkface. Where are you
two from? Nose City?
MR. BIG NOSE: One more time, mate; I'll take you to the fuckin' cleaners!
MRS. BIG NOSE: Language!
JESUS: ...hunger and thirst to see...
MRS. BIG NOSE: And don't pick your nose.
JESUS: ...right prevail.
MR. BIG NOSE: I wasn't going to pick my nose. I was going to thump him!
MAN #2: You hear that? Blessed are the Greek.
GREGORY: The Greek?
MAN #2: Mmm. Well, apparently, he's going to inherit the earth.
GREGORY: Did anyone catch his name?
MRS. BIG NOSE: You're not going to thump anybody.
MR. BIG NOSE: I'll thump him if he calls me 'Big Nose' again.
MR. CHEEKY: Oh, shut up, Big Nose.
MR. BIG NOSE: Ah! All right. I warned you. I really will slug you so
hard--
MRS. BIG NOSE: Oh, it's the meek! Blessed are the meek! Oh, that's
nice, isn't it? I'm glad they're getting something, 'cause they have a
hell of a time.
MR. CHEEKY: Listen. I'm only telling the truth. You have got a very
big nose.
MR. BIG NOSE: Hey. Your nose is going to be three foot wide across
your face by the time I've finished with you!
MAN #1 and MAN #2: Shhh.
MR. CHEEKY: Well, who hit yours, then? Goliath's big brother?
MR. BIG NOSE: Oh. Right. That's your last warning.
MRS. GREGORY: Oh, do pipe down.
[MR. BIG NOSE slugs MRS. GREGORY]
Oh!
[MR. BIG NOSE and GREGORY fight]
GREGORY: Oh!
MRS. GREGORY: Awa?
MR. BIG NOSE: Silly bitch. Get in the way on me?...
MRS. GREGORY: Ow!...
MR. BIG NOSE: Break it up-- oh. Oh!
MANDY: Oh, come on. Let's go to the stoning.
BRIAN: All right.


Cheers
Goaty

Hear no Evo, See no Evo, Fear no Evo

 

I think Bagsters are made by the same mob that made the Tardis...

I killed the old one but the new one's been ordered.

 

Have you tried a strip of tape (masking or electrical) about 25mm wide along
the bottom of your visor? When the sun is at that shitty angle, just flip up
your visor so that the tape blocks out the sun.

 

Well, you have to look at the root of the problem.

If you have a normal full-face helmet, you are frequently putting it on
and taking it off, usually using one hand.

Because of this, even what were good fitting glasses, quickly become
bent or broken.

I used to have a similar problem for years, then BMW introduced the flip
up chin section. I got one of those, and the problem was solved.

If you only wear sunnies, as in non-prescription, then you may not need
to go to this extent, but if, like me, you have prescription glasses,
and prescription sunnies, then the expense of a new helmet is fairly
quickly covered by the savings in glasses having to be replaced.

My polaroid sunnies cost more than a decent opening front helmet. :-(

If you are comfortable with it, using an open face helmet also helps
prolong the life of your glasses.

I suppose that it's because my glasses aren't prescription that I
bother taking them off before I take the openface off.

I find if I don't then they don't stay properly put anyway, so by
bother....

THe flipface is even worse as the one I have sits very closely to the
temples.

Works for me. I don't carry helmets or motorcycles in the tank bag.

 

Mine work fine. I did learn a long time ago that only plastic frames can
coexist with helmets. Steel, or any other metal, ones break after a very
short time.

Theo

 

Can you get them in prescription grind?

Theo

 

Has worked for me for ten years across the Nullarbor.

My problem is that the arms did into my head after a while and is very
uncomfortable.

But I have had my cancer council sunnies for about 6 years and they do the
joib but maybe not the style that young females or even males would enjoy

 

Aye, but folk who wear glasses all the time, as in prescription ones,
will get a pair which do fit really well...at the kinda price they are,
you have to.

Then, you always try on helmets with the glasses on.

A late entry as is usual. I find that with a fullface helmet that any
glasses with a soft rubbery type ear piece on them are u.s. The arms need to
be narrow , firm and without a hook end. Further, with sports bike type
riding when the head position is looking slightly down, it is important that
the nose bridge be high enough so as not to let let sunlight in above the
glasses.
Still reckon that sunnies are needed on a bright day regardless of having a
tinted visor, esp for the latter part of the afternoon.
Would never contemplate an open face or raised visor out in the open with a
bit of speed up.I would rather clean all the shit off the visor than off my
face.
I got a pair that really suit me a couple of yrs ago at P.I.
Polaroid, (?) about $20, a bit scratched now but am still waiting to come
across something better.
Perhaps not too long to wait B., there is a good collection for sale down
there.
Rockit

 

No but I am going to give it a try!

 

Wimps!

Theo

 

Indeed, and vice versa. When I last bought glasses I said "Hang on, I'll try
them on whilst wearing my helmet".

Theo

 

You need a Guzzi, you do. I hate having the visor down, and only have it
down when absolutely neccesary. Like when it's raining, or sitting behind a
cattle truck. At 160+ on the Norge, my open visor does not rattle and I
don't collect any bugs.

Theo

 

I find that the hook end keeps the glasses on my nose, and tried glasses
which just had the straight bits over the ears, but they tended to push
into the helmet padding, which pushed back and pushed the glasses off my
face. I bought a Nolan N102 with the flipdown sunvisor and haven't used
my sunnies since.

Mine is slightly less noisy than my old HJC flip helmet.

But analysing and changing helmet noise is a black art.

I have a Nolan model with the flip-down visor ("VPS") but not the
flip-up chin bar. Not sure what model number.

The tinted section sometimes doesn't seem dark enough, but I guess they
can't make them too dark.

The hard anti-fog visor insert stops fog but has oil-film-like
appearance around the edge. I don't notice that when I'm wearing it,
only when looking at it from the outside.

The detachable rubber flanges at the top and bottom of the chin bar tend
to detach if you carry the helmet by the chin bar. The bottom one is
good but the top one deflects wind directly into my eyes when the visor
is cracked slightly open. I think I will take the bottom one off and
rely on the anti-fog visor insert only, rather than trying to steer the
air from my nose downwards.

With the sunvisor down, they are quiet, but when flipped up the edge
catches the wind and it whistles; it stops if I lower my head and raise
my eyes, but that gets tiring.

Mine has removable washable liner (hurrah) and removable foam inserts
for the ear cavity. I tried putting those in instead of wearing
earplugs but they pressed too much on my ear and were less comfortable.
