    I was lucky enough to get some of these off GUMTREE here in Perth, a couple of weeks ago,

    Bought 5 pairs in there plastic bags for 40 bucks, the lot ... i thought it was a bargain....seems it was..sold the other pairs to my mates

    ( for cost) who also ride and they love em.

    Agree with your points on them slipping forwards, but i seem to be able to position them just right in my helmet so they dont slip.

    If you guys are worried about them slipping forward I could ( free of charge ) smack you on the snoz to put a nice bump for them to sit on.




    ROFLMAO.... Hey mcgregor, I too (at no charge to yourself) am offering "free" self rectal optical scans ( you can actually see for yourself, any enlarged prostate etc )

    haha

    Hey FTBOB , sure no problems, i got them from " fnmotorsports" they had them on ebay , and if my memory serves me right the shipping was a little on the bigger than Texas side of things so i emailed them and requested a "realistic" shipping cost which they did, and sent me an invoice via paypal, and just over 3 weeks voila , they arrived.

    let me know if you cant find them on ebay, and i will pm you the direct email address.  Hope this helps

    I have had no problems with these guy's at all, supplied tracking number etc,

    a good thing

    Cheers TB1

    I've got  Uglyfish sunnies and have just about wore out my "Rider" model. I'm not 100% happy with these, but the yellow lense is excellent at night, it turns the oncoming headlights of traffic into round yellow lights. My other different types are all a bright glare, coz their not a yellow lens.  Wileys &  Bolle sound good but I'm suss on them fitting a buckled snot box,and would they come with Yellow lenses?

    You fella's might want to check out a brand called 'ESS'

    They manufacture standard issue ballistic sunglasses and goggles to the military, and you can change through three lense colours in a few seconds each, clear, amber, dark tint.

    Im not too sure if they are available on the open market, but it wouldn't hurt to look.

    I had bolles for years,then moved on to uglyfish which I liked until the arm came off at a mates workshop. He gave me a pair of lightly tinted safety glasses which I have been using for three months and are shit hot,can use them for night riding and thay cost stuff all.

    I have a pair of Wileys but the lenses are pretty dark. I must have a weird face shape (shut you, you and you...you know who you are!) because I can't get them to seal. Very well built though.
