Anybody use a set of goggles? My eyes keep tearing up. I wear glasses but with thin rims so probably most goggles will fit over the top of them. Any suggestions?

Search for fishing sunglasses called "Cocoons". They fit over prescription eyeglasses. Excellent quality, polarized and cost under fifty bucks. I gave a pair to my brother in law and he loves them.
 
I just use a nice pair of wrap around sun glasses, works great as long as its light out.
 
I have a few pair that I can use. I have the Halcyon version of the RAF Mk VIII goggle. http://www.british-classics.com/61018.html This one I mainly use for flying, so it doesn't get much MB use. I have an inexpensive plastic-lensed repro of that style that I occasionally use, but the covering over the foam padding is deteriorating. I'll have to replace those soon.
I also have the US M44 as a back up pair. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=101537

I found the RAF MK VIII reproduction for about $39 which look cool. Not sure if I like the black color though.

That's the same type as the ones I have with the covering over the foam that is deteriorating. Don't let that deter you though, as mine are around 20 years old. They'll do well for riding unless you wear a pair of large-framed glasses.
