Something like a Fog City visor insert - effectively makes the visor double glazed and prevents fogging.

To the op

Try a dab of wash up liq on a clean cloth and rub into one of the side windows. You will see an immidiate effect.

I used to use shaving cream (applied and then wiped off) on my swimming goggles when I used to do a lot of swimming.

We tried shaving foam last year and it failed miserably.

I spit on my snorkel, I dont suppose that would be an efficient way of keeping your windows clear though :D

Rain X Anti Fog does work, used it on my car in the UK, never needed it in Canada though.

Open the side window a bit.

Re: Misty Windows....

Washing up liquid trick does work on bike lids. It does tend to scratch a visor a little over time though.

On a car, apply some to the inside of the windows and buff with a clean cloth, you should be able to see that there's a hint of it left on the window (you don't want to buff the whole lot off!).

I used to use one of the visor inserts, what did you race? Here's my old R1 at Mallory :)
