Default Avoiding helmet head

After two weeks with my Fly Racing Paradigm, I notice I am looking like a balding, middle-aged punk rocker when the helmet comes off. Running a damp hand through my thinning strands doesn't improve matters much.

Is there some kind of "uniform hair flattener" for us nimroddy-middle-aged FOGs to prevent us from looking like we're crazy? Some sort of skull-cap?

Go completely bald or shave your head - problem solved.

Well it works for me

Ahhh, the joys of motorcycling... and of finding dead bugs on our riding jacket.

I had a buddy once that was "too cool for a face shield" while riding his Harley. Was wearing a stahlhelm and glasses. Hit a bug, and got guts in his eye. Stopped the ride for a while.

Hi there Fog,

I empathise, I really do......every time I prize that helmet off, I look absolutely hideous!........but I've now resigned myself to the fact, there is NO way of avoiding the dreaded "helmet head".

So I'm afraid, vanity has just simply gone out the window!

As for the bugs........with a top speed of 60 kph thus far, the bugs just bed themselves in and "go along for the ride"......blissfully flying off when I arrive home!

Cheers,
Robster
