It really takes on a whole new meaning sometimes. According to the radio it
was -20C when I left for work on the bike this morning, that's about -4F for
you south of the border types. Add a highway speed of about 60-65mph and it
doesn't take long for your breath to ice up the inside of the facesheild.

Hey Tud, can you use or convert a snowmobile helmet shield that
utilizes 12volt electric to heat it? (or where a snowmobile helmet?)

If my commute was any longer I'd definitely has a better system, but unless
the roads are crap it only takes me about 15 minutes. When it's really cold
and the roads are crap then it's another story. I could actually use
windshield wipers on the visor on some days when the snow is falling.

The wind gets in around it and that's cold enough, I could image the full
force of the wind. I think my eyeballs would freeze.
