OK, here's a newbie question I'm hoping you experienced riders from cooler climes will answer.
It's been a rather unusual November here in upstate New York. We've had warmer-than-normal weather, and so far no substantial snow. I'd sure LIKE to be riding my 400 back & forth to work on the warmest days, but I've encountered a scary problem in the cool morning air.
When the temp drops below about 50 degrees Farenheit, the wind screen on my 400 fogs up. Enough water condenses on the screen to thoroughly obscure my vision, but not enough to bead up and roll off, even with a good coating of Pledge. I have a Givi Clearview and am only 5' 7", and therefore stand no chance of seeing over the top of or around the wind screen when this happens. It's frightening and dangerous as hell.
What can I do to combat this problem? I'd bow my head to fate and put my Burgman up until Spring, except there's a woman I see riding a Harley every dry morning up the NYS Thruway, and HER screen isn't fogged!
Thanks as always,
Chris
