[Barnoe]

You get an itch on your head and try to scratch it.... totally forgetting about the helmet

sure.

Like when you aim for the gap to filter and realise at the last moment you are in your car, would not fit there at all and hit the brakes

Tried to itch, tried to drink through helmet, tried to eat through helmet, covered my mouth when yawning, covered my mouth when coughing.. I forget my helmet is on half the time.

The itchy and tickly nose whilst riding annoys Me

That "Shit, seatbelt" moment, then remembering I'm on the bike.

[weasley]

Taking the phone out of the jacket pocket to answer it.... lid still on.

Then yelling at the phone to "HANG ON A MINUTE, JUST TAKING MY HELMET OFF" which comes across as something like "AAAAH OH MMMMFFF JSSSSS EH FFFFF".

Popping a mint in your mouth, then hearing that sound as it hits your lid.

I've done this far too many times.

Having my phone linked to my bluetooth lid and getting a call just after I had removed it! Guess I looked a right kn*b talking into my helmet in one hand with the phone in the other!

[ADSrox0r]

Worst one for me is....."Is that...is that a spider on my head? It fucking is. It's a...fuck! FUCK!" <cue spaz-wobble>

"Oh wait no....it's a bead of sweat on my big shiny slap"


"No-one saw me spaz......right?"

New to riding, but finding I am doing the things mentioned, including having something fly in and being worried it was a wasp.

[notbike]

[sidewinder]

I've had the wasp x2 in my helmet .and then doing the strip down dance got stung twice on the back of head

[Val]

when your Missus looks at your laptop screen and sees some of the on board videos you just have made yesterday and says "I have a feeling that riding motorcycle is not very safe, is it?"

The only answer I could produce was some mumbling and scratching my head at the same time looking at the ceiling and yawning.
