As a motorcyclist, I love finding out about innovative products on the market that can help make my riding experience that bit easier and enjoyable so when I came across motorcycle helmet visor cleaning technology Visorcat<\/strong>, I decided to discuss the product with Visorcat’s co-owner, Jill Boulton, to find out more.<\/p>\n Can you tell us a bit about yourself? How did you come up with Visorcat?<\/strong> A\u00a0thin film of road grime had built up on my brother\u2019s visor, restricting his view to such an extent that he could not ride to his \u2013 or his bike\u2019s \u2013 capabilities. It struck him that, while motorcycle technology had come on leaps and bounds in the past 20 years, the technology that allows the motorcyclist to see clearly had not moved on at all.<\/p>\n I understood what he meant when he told me about his idea \u2013 I\u2019d once had a nightmare ride on my little GB250 in the dark, when my visor was covered in flies. I couldn\u2019t see a thing except the starring effect of headlights shining on the flies.<\/p>\n Eventually we did some formal market research into the concept of a product that would fit over the motorcyclist\u2019s glove and could wash as well as wipe the visor. I won a \u00a310,000\u00a0business award to build prototypes and file a UK patent, so Visorcat was on the road.<\/p>\n There is a sponge covered by a flap, which automatically opens when you move the Cat one way across your visor, so you can wash your visor with the wet sponge. When you wipe your visor in the opposite direction, the flap stays closed and any residue is removed with twin wipers.<\/p>\n The whole unit fits over your glove, and there is also a tank you can top up with fluid, which feeds through to the sponge. You can remove the sponge to wash or replace.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I\u2019m a former newspaper journalist turned entrepreneur, mum and occasional motorcyclist. I\u2019m Yorkshire born and bred, now living in Scotland. Got the bike bug when my brother turned up on a Suzuki GP100 when he was 17, and that was a long time ago! I\u2019ve owned and ridden a few bikes in my time including a Honda CD250, a grey import Honda GB250 Clubman, a Kawasaki GPZ500, a BMW F650, a Yamaha SZR660, and a Suzuki SV650. I passed my advanced test a few years ago with IAM RoadSmart and I\u2019m still looking for the perfect bike – I\u2019d like a sub-600cc, fun, lively bike that\u2019s low, narrow and lightweight. Any ideas?<\/p>\n
\nIt was my brother\u2019s idea. He was riding his Honda Fireblade (the original one) along a narrow rural road in Warwickshire in November 1999, and found that the car behind was catching him up. He pulled over to let the car go past, his ego a little dented \u2013 why did an experienced motorcyclist riding one of the most powerful bikes available have to give way to a car?<\/p>\n
\nCan you tell us how Visorcat works and how to use it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
