Bottle of water to wash the flies off my visor and a sponge on my thumb to wipe the rain off.

Bob Heath finger-wiper..................

Fits on the left index finger.

An absolute must in wet conditions with cars/trucks kicking up spray.

(Of course, now that Summer is here - you won't need it for another 4 months

)

Looks more like Heath Robinson than Bob Heath

That would depend on where you've been poking it

There is(was) a small visor-cleaning kit available - I had them fitted to two of my bikes.

it is a small black plastic pot, cable-tied to headstock or bars, which included an integral sponge and wipe blaed in the lid. Fill the pot with a mild detergent mix - and off you go.

Might not look too "sporty" - but invaluable when touring.

I'll try to find out where I got it and post a link.

[EDIT: Looks like it used to be sold by NippyNormans, but not anymore

Years back an old boy down the road used to have a tennis ball bolted to his 'bars with a slit in the top, sponge shoved in the slit. Reckoned he'd used it for years to keep his visor clean

Yes it is!

I couldn't find it.

The wipe blade isn't the best, but the sponge is a great idea.

Oxford do a similar thing for about a fiver - bottle of cleaner and a wiper bit - used it that hot weekend in Moffat - remember that?

It's not similar - the Nippy one can be used "on the hoof" with one hand.

(mind you - rumour has it that you can peel an orange in your pocket with one hand - Dave
