I have noticed that when I ride, I have a habit that never goes away until I really notice it.

When I ride, my mouth is open. (Please nothing dirty) When I notice it, I'll close my mouth, but if I don't my jaw hurts after a while haha.

Anyone else have some weird riding habits they find themselves doing?

 

i do the opposite. I always find myself clenching my teeth and dont notice until my jaw/teeth start to get sore.

 

Yeah, I'm glad I wear a helmet, otherwise I'd be catching love-bugs in my mouth haha. If I'm chewing gum or talking to myself (haha) it stops me from opening my mouth. Chewing gum may help you too.

 

I slouch

 

chewing gum works for me. Since i upgraded to my scorpion helmet with the inflatable cheek pads, I can tune them to fit me tighter. Since then I noticed the open mouth thing too. I dont think I did it in my HJC lid.

 

i cant sit still

 

Me either. I am constantly fidgeting around.

 

I frequently pucker my lips and press them against my helmet. I think it is because I have a helmet communicator and I sort of subconsciously check to see that the little microphone is still where it is supposed to be.

 

That is exactly what I do. When I notice I am doing it I try to relax but it is just something I do.

I find that when I have my music playing I dont do it.

 

I am always try to smile in the helmet, not because I want to smile to people but my cheek pad is still bit tight so trying to squash it with my cheek.
