That sounds painful! When I had longer hair it would whip my neck pretty back...I would imagine a helmet strap would not feel any better.

edit: yeah nts.

And what a douche bag for not helping her. When I first started riding on the back of my honey's bike he would fasten my helmet or check it every time we went out.

No worry, they're both probably dead now.
Problem solved and gene pool doubly improved!

sometimes i forget to tuck mine and it smacks the shit out of my neck. it is hurt at around 80 mph.

it is fastened, but the strap is not buttoned or tucked.

Yeah I just did that same thing the other day. It reminds you that you didnt snap it with a nice whip to the throat. From there I remembered to snap it up.

ah nothing like trying to secure your chin strap at 80 mph while riding one handed.

First time it hapened, scared the shit out of me. Thought there was something wrong with my bike or helmet because the tab was beating on the side of my lid making a ton of noise. Heck of a feat (sp?) for a new rider.

I've done it a couple times... first time I forgot to secure my helmet completely... got about an 1/8th of a mile... and the fuck'n thing was slapping my neck I was like... OH FUCK! didn't know what the fuck was going on... then I realized... pulled over and fixed it...

Its hard enough trying to fasten it with two hands with gloves on standing still. Do those quick clips for straps work well at all, as in stay together in a wreck?

Hell I'm surprised she isn't sitting on the bike backwards.

As long as the bike was still and she was in front of me naked that wouldn't be half bad...

I've had a few helmets that came with quick connects and I've used a quick connect "kit" on a helmet in the past. I never had any problems with them and maybe I'm too trusting but I can't see how they could sell them for all these years if they failed in a crash...

i thought all the decent helmets had a button the strap so you dont have to tuck it?

that dudes a jackass for not checking her helmet-but c'mon, she should have enough common sense to ask if she cant do it herself....then again based on what they are wearing-common sense isnt their strong point lol
