On the Road Again!

I was given these sunglasses quite a few years ago by a friend.  They were really badly scratched and so she was going to throw them away. Sadly, the original lenses actually had the name etched into the corner but when I had them reglazed with non OEM Ray-Ban lenses they must have thrown them away.  I had them reglazed extra dark as I was wearing them in Florida, mostly.  They were perfect for the very bright sunshine! Since then, I have barely worn them and they have been in a drawer. Recentyl, I dud them out and they are very dark indeed. I started casting about on the internet to see if anyone can put genuine Ray-Ban lenses i n them. A couple of places in the UK replied to say that they can do it. So now I am waiting for a quote for the job from them both. These glasses are top quality.  The arms need tightening as well! It eould be nice to have them almost restored to original.

Blimey this was a bit of a long drawn out experience. For a while I have wanted a decent pair of sunglasses but as I am a spectacle wearer I've not had any other than a cheap pair for holidays and those few days I sit on the beach! So before we go to Italy, where I hope it will be very sunny, I thought I'd get a pair of Oakley's. I've ended up with these! A bit over the top I thought when I tried them on, but grew to like the idea. As they are fitted with prescription lenses I am able to claim some of the cost back from my HSA insurance. Luckily. Even they cost a fortune they don't come with a case. Maybe normal punters would get away with the microfiber string tied bag. Not a lot of use for a biker, even if they are secured in my mini tank bag. So I've been searching the net for a decent deal on a case for them. They are too bloody expensive to leave it to chance!!
