Another Biking Box Ticked

#1 Post by randomsquid » Sun Aug 28, 2011 2:26 pm

Well it's taken me some years, but -

I am now officially a member of the sneezed all over the inside of the bloody visor club.

Just to make it more fun it was pissing down.
Where ever I lay my hat.....

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Thing is, I'd always thought it was unpossible.
I've ridden about with a cold enough times.
Something always seemed to turn sneezing off with a hat on.

Seems it is entirely possible to cover all of the inside of a visor except for the top inch or so :smt009

I'll get the drinks in.

I find looking at the light helps when you want to sneeze
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Gas ..... as in neither solid nor liquid
Hunt .... as in to search diligently for something
ite .... as in the suffix used to describe someone who does the preceding things

Therefore a Gashuntite is a person who searches for gas.

It has nothing to do with sneezing on a visor - I just thought it the right moment for a random word.

That'll be the Photic Sneezing Reflex.
I understand those of us with blue eyes are more susceptible to this.

If I come out of a building into bright sunlight I always have a sneezing fit

This makes sense. Less likely to sneeze with a hat on because you're in the shade.
