I am amazed to see riders without any eye protection. If you have ridden for a while you know that even a moth hitting you when you are going 70mph is liked getting flicked. This “flick” to an eye causes injury and frequently results in accidents. Now imagine the damage to an eye and potential loss of control from a small rock hitting the eye.

I am obviously not for any more laws infringing on our freedom to do or not to do anything, but does anyone know of any programs that push the necessity of proper eye protection?
