Default Don't sing...

when you have a full faced helmet on, it steams up the visor and then you can't see.

That's one of the biggest advantages to having a full-face helmet with a tinted or mirrored visor: You can scream at the idiots in cages, and they don't have a clue...

You may also get a nice full face of stank breath.

Sometimes I amaze myself w/ the assortment of aromas emanating from my pie hole. "What did I eat? When did I eat THAT? MmmmMMm.. smells like squirrel fart...."

LOL...

Also - don't clear the nasal passages and get ready to spit when you have a full face.

That really sucks (not that I know)

Shoei, pinlock double-visor ... rarely fogs up. Good for an extended rant...

Gee I must be missing something I sing & yell in my helmet and it never fogs up.







I wonder...































Ahh! You must have to be full of Hot Air for it to fog up the shield.

But when you go past the Krispy Kreme or Dunkin DoNuts shop the aroma gets trapped in the helmet and smells soooooooooo goood. Buttttt then you start drooling and fill up the helmet....yechhhhhh

I want them to have a clue when I yell. I've puled up beside more than one and asked them to remove their head from their *** before driving.

It's only REALLY bad if/when you have morning breath.

Oh man, I sing all the time, visor open or closed...especially when I have the mp3 player with me. It's worse when I got a buddy on the back, two terrible voices at the top of our lungs always get some stares.

When I would listen to the iPod, I would always bob my head and sing along. I'm sure it looked funny to passer-bys.

I might just try that. Got an mp3 player yesterday.

I don't sing but I cuss at drivers under my breath sometimes and it just feels weird. Strange part is, it doesn't feel weird when I cuss at idiot drivers out loud while driving my truck.

Here's the one I use on long trips. Works excellent for me! It's between $30 & $40 on amazon. Great 1st MP3 Player. Well worth the money. Just gotta get me some better ear buds.
