Sneezing in your lid; dangerous?

[tone64]

I have just come back in after a quick blast, out round Bath, and as i was coming back through Kelston and some twisties, had a attack of sneezing, never had it before or sneezed with my helmet on, but that is not good, scared the b- jesus out of me, that is a killer:smt067

When i was coming round the ring road in east Bristol, i saw to motor cycle cops, and was quite surprised to get a nod.............if they would of seen me 30 seconds earlier i would of got a ticket, maybe they are human\\:D/

Also eye ball blue pointy in Bath, coming down by the cemetry, exchange of nods.

Not funny is it. My greatest fear is developing hayfever which must be horrendous for bikers.

I guess you would have to go out drugged up on anti hista wotsits, as you say HORRENDOUS

[anna]

snot funny at all...

I suffer from hayfever and strangely it has only happened once luckily whilst sitting at lights, visor open thanfully. I do find that I dont suffer as much when biking, perhaps because I tend to breath correctly through the nose out the mouth!.......why dont I do that normally?

I sneeze everytime I go out in summer as I get bad hayfever. Never had a wobble or bad thing happen through sneezing.

'They' reckon that if you go into a sneezing fit (5 or 6 on the bounce) at 70 MPH, you will be driving blind for approx half a mile.... Scary!

Ha, by my estimation then......I did about 7 miles.

I'm a hayfever sufferer- as long as I keep the antihistamines up, I don't suffer as bad these days.

Though have sneezed in my lid a few times- my dilemma tends to be if I'm in a place where my clutch hand is free to get get visor up- save getting a snotty view for the rest of the ride. Its bad enough with the bugs in summer!!!

And I do sneeze particularly violently...

bike cops are bikers too, i've met a few and they seem to be fine with other bikes and mods too, never had a problem.

It's not so bad, you get used to it. If you control yourself, you can sneeze without moving much.

Topgun time :)

this bogey is all over me

Get a flip front lid and see how many oncoming cars you can hit with the snot.

i think i have seen you a few times im on a blue and black R6 with a rossi lid give us a wave next time!

[Toby]

I sneezed with my lid on the other day, and out of habit bought my hand up to cover my mouth. Full face helmet. Must have looked like a bit of a tit

[Bear]

I've thrown up in my lid before.

That wasn't nice at all...

I suffer quite badly with hayfever so just don't ride if its one of those days...

have sneezed a few times in my lid, its not pleasant or safe

[Warthog]

I sneeze quite a lot and have hayfever in June, but it doesn't really bother me that much.

[wheelnut]

It seems very dangerous. I have just been diagnosed with Asthma and have started to suffer with hay fever. I had a mild attack about a month ago while on my bike, it scared the hell out of me. If I sneeze or get short of breath, I just try to pull up somewhere safe

What would worry me is if they make it a notifiable disease and DVLA would be able to revoke my licence.

As for avoiding snot, Im going for one of these
