Re: [ST] Burning Questions
Having formerly driven that stretch quite often, and then moving to a
very foggy area, I can relate. However, it isn't a condensation
problem, it is small water droplets that you are running into.
Aside from having a helmet with windshield wipers, about the only
thing you can do is go fast (and hopefully no traffic right in front
of you) and turn your head sideways and let the wind blow the water
off in one direction, then turn the other way and do the same. Works
for riding in the rain as well.
There are also gloves that have squeegees built into them, but I've
never tried them.
