Default Masks

Apologies if youve had this post a thousand times before.

Ive recently started putting some srious mileage in on my bike and am fed up with sucking in all the filth that pours out of exhaust pipes.

Who here using some sort of breathing mask or apparatus, and do they find it effective?

I use a Respro anti-pollution mask and find it quite effective. They'll always be a tad uncomfortable, especially on warm or wet days, and they don't block out the smell of exhausts totally, but you feel better knowing you're not sucking it into your lungs...

An added bonus is the touch of threatningness it adds to you! some people may laugh at you but I tend to find less people taking you on!
