I saw some cops tonight.

At bike night.

They were bike cops.

One of them told me to put my visor down.  Even though we were going 5mph looking for parking, and it was hot.

This is the same guy that got me at 60 in a 25 a couple years ago.

He be my nemesis ;D

Your State has a law regarding visors?

You have to have either some sort of eye protection or the visor has to be down enough to cover them.

Most states it's eye protection, helmet visor, or full windshield...

At first I thought hbliam was the one that posted that and I was just about to post "tell me to put my visor down when it doesn't make any difference just to be a *insert bad word here* and you'll get one"  [laugh][laugh][laugh]

windshield alone won't cut it here.

However, I am surprised at how often I go by cops with my visor up and they don't say a word.  If im on the road I leave it down, but sometimes in town in slower traffic I'll open it to let air in.

Apparantly 17 States require no eye protection visor, or windshield. Including CA. I can't imagine riding without something. I've been NAILED by some bugs at speed.
