My girlfriend Dolly wants to ride with me. But she is too light. So I can duct tape her to me and away we go. Thats the problem with inflatable girlfriends.

Just bought a full face Bell Helmet that was on sale already, and micro fleece balaclava. Feels good to score a deal like that once in a while.

You can use them as a bandanna, headband, neck warmer, mini-balaclava, or to fill those tiny air gaps in your jacket at the neck or wrists... ...also as a work rag or hanky... a million and one uses...

My head apparently has a ridge or deformity at my hair line just above my forehead.... discovered years ago after wearing any properly fitted helmet for any length of time a pain which became so intense as to have me strapping my hat on the back of my bike and riding sans protection. Shocked

Yesterday I got so fed up with my latest headache that I grabbed my helmet and headed to the garage. Putting the helmet against my leg, holding the straps out of the way, I took a hammer and firmly pounded the foam down a bit right where the pain originates. Tried it on and quickly realized I was on to something!! Tweaked it a bit more and viola!!
As I type this I'm near shedding tears of joy at the thought of putting that once torturous iron maiden back on my irregularly shaped dome.

I hope this helps somebody half as much it helped me.

It didn't have a removable liner, but there's slots cut into it, so I took a small piece of 36 grit sandpaper, and shaved just a hair of the foam off in the offending area. Probably made it a tiny bit less safe, but it's soooo much more comfy.

Speaking of helmet fit,.. here's a tip I've had some subtle results from...

If the cheek pads in your FF helmet are giving you that, "pucker up n' kiss me" feeling, (aka...fish-face), ... hold a bare, lit, light bulb against the foam padding ... the heat will shrink up the foam cells, and give you a little extra room for your chubby cheeks... Huh

Re: DAILY HOT TIP Reply #164 - 06/19/10 at 18:44:23 I have a long thin brush, sold in the automotive dept. problee from W/mart. About 10" long( the brush) w/ a long handle, for cleaning mags. It works great on the refrigerator coils.
