Sneezing while wearing a full face...

[ManDownUnder]

Ever done it??

YEESH... I was a tad busy at the time, bewteen cars on that white line as you do and the little bastard snuck up on me out of nowhere.

I'm sure a few in their cars got a good laugh out of it... and it is just as well I had the visor open.

Bugger of a way to start the day.

Just thought I might share

bwahahahahaha

Yup. The worst bit is when your nose thereafter starts to run, and you can't pull over, so you've got this mini-river of snot trickling down your upper lip and it's driving you NUTS.

Maybe that was too much information for some...

[Coldkiwi]

a little bit!

i just try not to blink while I do it.. thats the hard bit. problem is that trying to hold back nromally encourages more!!

[ManDownUnder]

I should have said - a trick (for what it's worth) to SUPPRESS the sneeze...

Press the tip your tongue against the roof of your mouth just behind you front teeth... and keep it there until the sneeze dies away.

A really bad sneeze will come on out anyway - but you can probably avoid 1/2 of them...!

Yes it works... no I don't know why

PS as for "rivers of snot"... TMI (Too Much Info!)... but then I guess I asked for it opening up the whole suject huh?

The most excitement I've ever had under my lid was when I put my helmet on complete with a bee which proceeded to walk around and buzz in my ear -- screech to halt, fumble with D rings, take gloves off, fumble with D rings, pull off helmet, bend spectacles which disappear into roadside ditch, drop helmet, chip helmet...

Yeah, it sucks more when you blow some chunks onto the inside of your visor :bigthumb:

[Sharkey]

And the air currents swirl the fine mist of boogery saliva all around the inside of your helmet, depositing it all over your exposed face.....

spare a thought for nori haga then. He ended up hurling inside his helmet in 2002 when he got shunted by an over exuberant Xaus (surely not!) at one of the races in SBK.

I got hay fever on a ride in the weekend and sneezed a number of times in my helmet. Most of the time I was able to angle my lips down but one sneeze caught me by surprise and I ended up covering the inside of my visor with snot.

I've heard that if you keep your eyes open while you sneeze your eyes will pop out, I don't know how much truth is in that though.

Would your handle be more suited to you if it became Slingsnot?

Sorry - it was a cheap shot, but I simply had to

Sorry - it was a cheap shot

or a cheap snot...

[Slingshot]

Snot a worry, I can take the insults

Yup - another thread rapidly degenerating into oblivion...

... hard to believe it could actually GO down hill from where it started.

Bit of a booger really
