holy crap man....does that not suck...you feel it coming and try to fight it off and when you realize you cant you flip the visor up real fast and pull your helmet down.....but you always still sneeze spit in the front of your helmet....then your afraid some one saw you....then realize who cares, what else could i have done :x

I don't seem to have that problem. perhaps you have a unusally high amount off mucus. heh heh

Its the worst when I sneeze in my helmet.  Luckily my breath deflector (that nose thing) keeps any spray off the shield but what a mess even so  :lol:

Puts me in mind of my driving test some years ago, cold December day, just above freezing, going around a sharp bend when I sneeze and everything fogs up, flip up the visor, still can't see, my spex are also fogged so I had to claw them onto the end of my nose and squint over them. I just about got away with it.

I cannot imagine how to cope with the old technicolor yawn or even the sparrow! helmet must stink for a month.

In Cricket the testicular guard, or Box, was introduced in 1874. The helmet was introduced in 1974. Is there a message??

I did that.  I tried to stifle it, but I still got a little snot spray on the front of the helmet.  It was groooosss until I got to my destination and cleaned it out.    :oops:

Quote from: johncam4what else could i have done :x
I pull a rather funny face when I feel a sneeze coming on.  It's just like what I do in the winter when I need to let a big breath out, so I don't fog up the visor.  It's hard to explain, but I pull my lower lip in over my teeth and pull my jaw back in as far as I can.  Probably easiest just to figure out how to blow a warm breath past your chin.

End result: the air goes out the bottom of your helmet.  Of course, you run the risk of gooping up your chin instead of the visor ... but as least you can reach up and wipe your chin off with your glove, right?  ("EEeeewwww!!!")

I'm sure this technique makes me look like Mr. Turtle from "The Master of Disguise".  (Dumb movie!)  But only for a second, right?  :roll:

Should I get a new one like, "Rides with no hands"?

If you're gonna sneeze aren't you supposed to look up? Or, look into a light?

ooooh, I was trying it with my lower lip pulled up over my top teeth .  Works much better just over the lower teeth!

I tossed the helmet... thankfully it was a cheap one...
and I thought I was the only one who had to look at a bright light to make myself sneeze...  must be related to eye color or myopia maybe...
