I had a mean hair cut last night and when I put my helmet on this morning my head rattled around like a cig butt in a can! Time far a new helmet ya think, or should I buy an after hair cut wig?

Shit, wish I was! My hair is curly and a bit wild so my wife did a #1 on it (cut that is) and now it looks like I'm going to have to put a T Shirt inside till either my hair grows back or I get a new lid (which I've now got the perfect excuse, all in the name of safely Mrs Wilde).

haha. You could always just wear a beanie, works for me.... I hate paying for a haircut and only do it once a year though.

Just remember if you do get a new smaller helmut..you might have to have a shaved head all the time if you want to wear it.

i had the same problem....let the hair grow for around 7months before having a trim 2weeks ago.

the helmet was a "bit loose" before the hair cut but afterwards....was just riduculous....so scored me a new helmet.

(original one was a cheap second hand one so i was glad to upgrade)

Let it grow. Prolonged helmet use will form long hair into the "Eaton". Niiiiiiiice.

What the hell are you waiting for? I wish I had your excuse (keep my hair under 1mm for the last quarter century).

I agree, just wear a beanie or a hoodie or something.

At least you got a sensible haircut to go under a helmet. Every time I get my hair cut I get a telling off from the hairdresser because my freshly coiffured hair is going straight under a helmet. So I go to the hairdresser, pay big bucks and come home with helmet hair. :rolleyes:

Going from long hair tied in a pony-tail (and I have a lot of hair - very luxuriant growth) to a number-2 comb cut I felt a lot "less restricted" in the helmet.

A balaclava would do the trick but you can't eat it so the baklava might be more useful if you're out and about in the boonies after all the Service Stations are shut and you can't find a hot pie...

A what? No, but what does that have to do with anything? Hey, arn't you the guy who destroyed 3 K6's? Maybe you should give the bike back to your nana till you learn to ride?

Imagine how the myth will read in a few years time? BTW, I'm not a fuzzy wuzzy. Any time you want to meet so I can prove it is fine by me.

did he know a long haired dude with some crazy ideas.Well sort of, but he didn't arrive on the scene till about 1300 yrs later...and he didn't have long hair, plus he didn't wear makeup! It's the artists impression that is crazy. :crazy:

Anyway, there was a time in NZ motorcycle history when this hair problem didn't exist, a close friend of mine remembers his younger days when it was not compulsory for him to wear a helmet while riding...but I guess they still griped about their hair getting messed up by the wind & rain, etc lol.

I reckon if you grow your hair long or bushy you must be prepared to accept the consequences of higher expenditure and greater inconvenience when it comes to your riding lid, and your lid is your most important safety feature should you bin it, God forbid!

(no i didn't lose a bet) and apart from sticking to everything i wear, beanie, cap, pillow etc.... there has been no noticable diference in hemet fit, still snuggly, if not a little draftier. :cold:
