I don't but I probably should because when I take my helmet off after riding I always get helmet hair.

I always have helmet hair. When I come into work its like that. I'm going for that Steve Young look.

I always do.

I figure it keeps my hair from having the 3 row mohawk, and my helmet padding cleaner. :thumbup:

edit: lol at your avatar, Chris

I wear it sometimes If I have to be indoors and can't wear a hat.
I have very short hair and it looks like my head it shaped that way(helmet head).
If I can wear a hat, I just stuff a baseball cap inside my jacket.

I wear a schampa skullcap everytime.

I don't do it for my hair cuz I shave my head, but it does keep my helmet smelling like new!

I wear a bandana to keep the awesomeness that is my helmet hair at bay. :D

Hmm, I think I should... I must get one of these... I get really bad helmet hair and get wings... And no, I don't drink Red Bull :p

I wore one all the time when I was out on my bicycle. Kept the sweat out of the eyes and prevents you from getting striped sun burn on the noggin (bicycle helmets aren't solid for reduced weight).

Yup, gotta cover that helmet hair.

This is me in Phoenix in NGAA taking my friend's son to school on the Spyder. The school was like 8 blocks away. It was kinda cool riding with no helmet, but I prefer with.

I have no idea what that vehicle is, but it looks crazy, in a good way. Whats the performance specs on that baby?

That is a Can Am Spyder. It's a 998cc Rotax V-twin 5 speed. It has 110hp with the optional aftermarket Hindle exhaust (which I have) and does 0-60mph in less than 4.5 seconds. It's my "car".

Jesus Christ, and here I was thinking that it was a glorified scooter with an extra wheel. That thing is a BEAST! How does it compare with the 250r?

It hauls ass!!! It's way more comfortable and way more powerful, but it doesn't lean in curves, so thus I have a Ninja too. I ride the Spyder when I want to ride and it's too nasty out for the Ninja. I don't have a car... I sold my Porsche 944 and my Grand Am for the Spyder.

How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking.

Also, I'm sure it turns heads

Here's their site. (http://spyder.brp.com/en-US/) I love the thing personally, but don't think I can afford one any time soon.

Also, I'm sure it turns heads

I paid $18K out the door. But it did replace my car. They are a little pricey, but they are worth it. I am one of the original owners (#1344) and have had it for 15 months now with 12K+ miles.

And yes, I get a little TOO much attention (and stupid questions). Getting the Ninja was one of my ways to try to be a little less conspicuous in public when I ride -- though I get talked to a lot about my Ninja too, so that didn't really work.

Just checked out their site, thanks Mike, and these vehicles are great.

Underarmor skullcap under the helmet all the time. As others have said, keeps the interior clean. Easier to wash the skullcap than the helmet. Also it feels cooler wearing it than not. Never feel sweaty with it.

i wear the do wrap. i hate helmet hair... plus it keeps my helmet cleaner. just toss the cap in the washer.

So...

Can you pop a wheelie on it? :D

haha, very intrigued myself. If it can, make a video and post it up here :)

All I know is you made that kid the KING of whatever class he is in! You realize all his friends are now fully convinced you're his.......

......? :censored::headshake::nono:

:focus: People!

I happen to wear two... One over my hair to help keep it in check while putting on my helmet and one over my chin. This is done so that I have wind protection against my neck, and my nose runs while I ride.. :shifty:

I wear a silk Sliks helmet liner under my helmet. Very comfy and it keeps the liner of your helmet clean. Since it also covers your ears, it looks very dorky without the helmet covering it. You learn to pop the helmet on quickly lest anyone see you in just the Sliks and say "boy, that looks really dorky." Once it's securely under the helmet though, it's worth any momentary embarassment.
I also wear cotton do-rags all the time while working in my yard (I have quite a collection, but my Kawasaki ones are my favorites) to keep the sweat out of my eyes and prevent my bald spot from getting sunburn. My neighbors either think I'm a bad-ass biker or am trying to look like a pirate, but you gotta do what works for you. :p

:worthlesswithoutpic:

Can people post pics with their rags on? Please!

I have a shaved head but wear a thin beanie to act like a sweat band. It also keeps the helmet more snug and the liner cleaner.

:worthlesswithoutpic:

Can people post pics with their rags on? Please!

Are you serious? I may wear them all the time, but I don't allow my picture to be taken with that stupid thing on my head. :eek:

So...

It's been done.

I am wearing two here...

I like to wear panty hose on my head. I get the weirdest looks going into the bank.

Thanks, I just ordered one direct from Underarmour...$16.99 free shipping! Everyone else wanted to add $6-7 for S&H. :thumbup:

wow, that's good to know.
thanks Sam.

I usually get a short hair cut. If I end up with helmet hair I usually carry some water around with me anyways so I use that to wet my hair and then I comb it with a old school 99 cent pocket hand brush.

I'll probably give the skull cap thing a try though just to see who well it works at preventing helmet hair or just keeping the helmet clean.

Wear a camo one around the neck

lol, i wear a real "du-rag" on my head when i ride bc i have braids. The only time i get helmet hair is when i'm rockin the fro!!:cool:

I have a black Deal's Gap one that I sport sometimes, but most of the time I ride without it. That might change with the weather warming up though.

U.S. Navy fans might appreciate this one ($6):

I know Sunny (Blue Tyke) will! :)

I can't believe there are no comments about the cat in my original post! :(

http://ambermoon.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/318.jpg

Nice pictures Sunny, and that cat looks CRAZY, wouldn't want to mess with it - might pop a cap in my ass.

I appreciate a lot of things. As long as it works! (I really have no Military affliations either way... I do love the colors though!)

I do love the colors though!)

That's exactly what I meant!! :) It must be a BLUE thing.

Well Sam.. When we meet you will see why I like the color blue. Bike, Bandanna's, eyes... See the real reason I got Tyke was because she brings out the blue in my eyes....

(So teasing)

well i GOTS the "do"...but the rag is always optional...depends. i have this 'skull cap' that aviators use under their flight helmets...although if one glances at juuuust the right time, i look bald as i'm slipping it on. i've used that, and your standard kmart issue bandana. (blue thank you very much..)

to the people in the thread: how long is your hair? I never wear one but I would love to get rid of the helmet hair!

bout 2" above my waist...14+ years worth :hippie:

^ Got any pictures? :)

I have a buzz cut, but I still get helmet hair because I have thick asian hair.

How the heck do you get helmet hair when you have a buzz cut? How short is your buzz cut? Pictures please, haha :p

My hair used to reach my waist. I always kept it tightly braided with two ties at the end and then again for the smaller 'tuft'. At this current moment it is about three inches past my shoulders. I cannot braid it so I generaly put a few hair ties in it...

http://jp.shoei.com/products/en/images/helmet0016/feature0056.jpg

three thick paddings create the "low" part.

haha, so you would have like 2 mini mohawks!

No rag or cap for me. People like the new flip at the very end of my hair...haha.

HAHA, look at the guy on the left. A mustache like that was made very famous in Australia and still is. Heres its creator.

I don`t wear a Do Rag. I do wear a beret when I take off my helmet--has sort of become a trade mark. I have a lot of berets--all black.

I do the bandana thing once it gets hot here in DFW. That way my helmet doesn't smell like a high school locker room...

I have one and wear it regularly, but not all the time. It's black with yin/yang symbol all over it. I had a pic of me wearing it, but when I switched from desktop to laptop, I lost so much! Tried to put everything on external hd, but forgot to catalog it all! :bangdesk: Will have to get the wife to retake the pic ...

oh, found a pic of cecilio and (henry) kapono. lol

hahaha! C&K waaaay too funny!

I think I want to rock my kerchief old-school:
