Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and had a few quick questions.
First off, let me tell you guys my story briefly. I had nasal issues back in 2007, went to doctor, he prescribed a nasal steroid spray. The spray ended up damaging my eyes(thru my tear ducts), and at 2007, my life took a 180 degree turn. My eyes have been severly dry since 2007. Heat,wind,cold, etc really irritate my eyes beyond pain sometimes. I'm 39 yrs old now, and have wanted to ride for past 5 years or so, but just havn't had the courage to do it yet(because of my eye problem). so enough about my sob story and onto the questions.
1. I'm thinking of getting the Nexx XR1R helmet (lightweight, have to have, bad disc in my neck), as was wondering for helmets in general, Do they create alot of heat inside the helmets in general, or just slightly, or just at stops,etc ???? I dont want to have issues with my eyes burning,drying !!!
2. Does the air entering the helmet or around helmet cause alot of air around or on the eyes ? I can't have alot of wind/air on my eyes becasue they will dry out too fast, and will hurt like hell. BUT, i probably need some air inside the helemt/around my face in general, so my face doesnt get too hot and my eyes hurt.
3. I've been researching bikes for the past 6 months in general, and I'm trying to be patient and make sure I cover all angles of owning,riding,safety etc for the bike. One thing I just ran across,and wondered was HEAT....... from the engine etc. Is the engine heat around your legs, butt etc bearable to certain degree ? stopped / riding ? I live in Florida and it get pretty damn hot here 90 degrees +. Is there anything to do to reduce the heat ? heat shields for legs, or divertion methods to direct engine head away from body ?
I know these questions have probably been asked previously, but my case ( with my eyes) is a little unique.
I envy all of you guys here for being able to ride without much though to things that I have to deal with. Wish I never had an issues with my eyes, but I dont want to finish my life without doing what I ultimately love, and thats owing a bike and riding, i absolutely love it !!
thanks in advance to anyone who responds,
Chris
