View Full Version : Arai helmets and nose hair



Finn

Okay, as I'm getting a little older, hair is growing everywhere but my head. Nobody told me about this. Regardless, I have discovered that my nostril hair is growing at an alarming rate causing a high level of discomfort while riding. The problem is with the vents in my Aria blowing air directly up my nose, tickling my nose hair. It's very distracting.

I now find myself having to trim my nose hair. Am I alone here?

no nasal hair problems for this geeza; that being said you are about 20 years older.

Yes, Finn; you are alone with your nose hair. A social pariah in fact. :Pokey:

Meh. You've done it now, openly exposed yourself as a Nana rider. If you were riding at the pace your nostril hairs would long since have been blown completely backwards by the air force and would now be growing backwards down your throat and tickling your tonsils.

Us tall fullas have to trim regularly, especially if trying to woo ladies of shorter stature......

Other suggestions?

Snort some delapitory cream before you ride. (You should see the chemical list on that shit, what a buzz - and it's legal!)
Buy another pair of those $50 earplugs and stick them up your nose (you won't smell the hot oil burning your boots as it leaks out of the Italian machine though)

That would make you 15 and explain your pimples.

60 Watt soldering iron works best...I have problems with lush eyebrow growth,when I wear goggles it pushes the hairs down cutting my vision.

You only need to trim your nosehairs once they start getting trapped when you shut your visor.

Although I'm Jewish, I don't think a box of matches would fit up my nose.

Hmm. D'y' know, I'm now starting to wonder about Mr Scumdog's famous freak mustachios. Perhaps he has opted for *training* instead of *trimming* ?

On the topic of body hair, did you know that the hairs on your arse are connected to your eye lashes? It must be true cause if you pull out an arse hair you blink.

What I hate is when they blow sideways round your head and get tangled with the stuff that grows out of my ears. Damn thats a hard tangle to undo! I just end up with gobs of snot and ear-wax all thru my mighty dwarf beard, bloody annoying I tells ya.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news Finn but the rouge hair problem is only just beginning, it just keeps getting worse as you get older! :yes:

Like yourself, I too blame the Labour government and all the Socialists for this problem. :blip:

Imagine what Nandor "Thingie" is going to look like when his dreadlocks start growing out of his nose and ears. :gob:

Mind you he wont have to change any lifetime habits, he can just keep on talking through his areshole forever.

Buy a pair of good tweezers and start plucking instead of cutting and get a good magnifying mirror with a good light above it. (good things take time, they say)

Another thing they didn't tell you was that as the hair starts growing in all the wrong places, your eyes grow dimmer so that you can't see the hair growing anyway.

Suddenly, before you know it, you are just another old git getting in the way on the highway center line doing 80kph and never pulling over.

People seem to still love you cause they never stop tooting and waving and they line up in droves behind you, just to say g'day.

Life just keeps on getting better every day, enjoy! :sick: Cheers John. (lol)

It appears Scummy has shaved it off based on this recent photo of him.

I didn't know Finn was a redhead.

Just grow it a bit longer and plait it Finn. Then you can use the plaits to drain snot into a pocket. It save on wiping stops and you won't have to buy a flip front helmet either.
If you plait your arse hairs as well, you can loop them under the seat as a kind of seat belt.

Umm.... could you just close the vents on your helmet, thereby eliminating the problem... seems like a painless soution to me - failing that I'm sure you could wax...

lol. Well spotted that man, an accidental funny, or did you spot my intentional error? :blip:

Actually cutting nose hairs can make them curl and grow in.
I had one go right through and make like a boil on my nose.
When it burst this hair was in it so I pulled it with the tweezers.
It was big and tough and anchored to everything bellow my belt.(yes them too)
That was an eye watering experience if ever there was one.
My advice is pluck don't cut nasal hairs, you have been warned! :yes: John.

What's mean about that, some of us girls do it all the time. I, for one, would offer to wax the offending stuff off for poor ol' Finn. Or do you think he isn't tough enough??

I just think its wrong, ....for a guy.
Dont get me wrong I greatly appreciate the trouble women go to for the sake of us men BUT..... we are just pussies when it comes to certain types of pain. Waxing is one of those types. OUCH!

yungatart

We all know that you guys are pussies when it comes to MOST types of pain, but how do you know that waxing is painful? A little experimentation perhaps??

I used to live in Twizel and every year we would get a hoar frost during winter. That's where it's foggy and freezing at the same time so the fog freezes to whatever it touches. Go outside when it's really cold and if you breath through your nose the fog particles would freeze to your nose hairs and you'd finish up with mini icicles (sp?) up your nose. True!

The hair that grows out of your ears is OK cos you wont need ear plugs soon

We went over to Alexandra on the bike today and because it was a bit cool going over the Lindis my nose got a bit of a sniffle.
I started thinking about KB and Finn's nasal hairs when I started laughing to myself, then I got the hysterics, my imagination ran away with it's self.
Mrs O/R thought I was having a fit or something.
It didn't seem funny at all when I tried to explain at Cromwell!
Almost put me off my pie.
Funny what you think about while riding your bike isn't it!! :blip:
Up your nose Finn! :sick: Cheers John.
