True dat...

But if you turn up on a nice crotch rocket he'll be more impressed and wont care about ur helmet hair...

Much better than bringing up in a coversation that u have a bike cause that'd be boring i recon... specialy if hes not into bikes cause the model numbers are a bit fiddly

Just a thought

The metal turned rusty, and they couldnt get it out.... so they got a drill ( a special type of drill) and drilled a hole into my eyeball.... Yep I was wide awake and saw it all happening... rode home with my eye patched over... that was a fun ride home with only eyesite out of one eye....lol

I hope your eye is okay now crashe - that must have been scarey. How did the metal fragment get past the sunnies? Would it get past $699.95 Oakley Ducati sunnies?

The 'anti helmet hair stuff' is called "Shatter", and the brand is "Sexy Big Hair".

Dunno where you can get it, but chemists / hair salons would be a good starting point, I guess... :spudwave:

Great! I'm sick of my No.1 haircut looking like crap when I take my helmet off

Yep I was wearing my sunnies at the time.... and they were the expensive ones too..... so to answer your question.... yep a tiny fragment of metal can get past the sunnies... no matter how much they cost.... It must have flicked up from a car ahead of me from off the road itself.

The eye is great now.... must admit it was fun watching the drill going into the eye and actually hearing the drill ...drilling away....

When they told me they were going to drill into the eye ball... my first thought was sheesh.... I have a electric Makita drill at home... but it is a small battery drill all sterilised.... even the drill piece came in its own sterilised packet....

Tis amazing what they have in the hospital eye clinic...

So if you eye feels all scratching or gratey after being out riding then go and get it checked out.... they put in a knockout drop onto the eyeball itself so that you don't feel a thing... then they put in a solution that shows up any metal on the eye....

They tried 3 times to scrap it out over the first two visits.. but cos it was so rusty and my eye was sensative to metal that is why they had to drill it out..

So all do be careful, and dont take chances with your eyes.... :confused2

Had same experience myself when bits of brass & steel went into my right eye when a rifle exploded - uncanny watching you own eye being gouged around

Ah! the long hair under the skid lid... Mine i twist up into a pony-like thing on top the head (he he he) then round and round like a bun...(but no pins!!!) then tuck the last wispy bits under the bun then whip the skid-lid on in a fluid motion, ...whew! ....i Gotta take a powder after that!

im beginning to get probs now that my hair is getting longer (than it has been before) which is bout 3 inches, not that long, but my fringe sticks down and sorta pokes me in the eye if i dont sort it out and have a rude semi-comb over fringe wen i take the lid off

Try a hair net. But at the end of the day if you have a lot of hair it's going to be a hassle.

I seem to recall something about a helmut exemption. Not the way to go in my opinion but if desperate might be worth looking into.

I havn't worn a helmet much yet as I just brought my bike yesterday, but with my pushie if you put heaps of styling mud in, it kept it's shape pretty good even when you wore a helmet. The wella stuff is pretty good, apply it when your hair is dry for best results.

been too lazy to put contacts in lately as it saves time at work not havin to find safety googles and the air cond plays havoc with contacts.

point: when riding at speed i find the air pressure bumping my helmet around bumps glasses and distorts vision ever so slightly. No biggie just kinda distracting.
