Harley Davidson Helmets: Be Safe in Style
Whenever my boyfriend and I hit the open rode on his Harley, there is always one small problem—helmet hair! Why can't motorcycle helmets be more fashion friendly and I don't just mean color-coordinating them to your bike or attire.
Harley Davidson helmets are available in many different styles but none of them can prevent the problem of helmet hair. Perhaps that is why in states where there are no helmet laws you see women riding with their hair blowing in the breeze, leaving their Harley Davidson helmets at home.
Given that I am a stickler for safety however, I prefer to wear my Harley Davidson helmet, even if it means my hair looks terrible by the time I arrive at my destination—I figure it wouldn't look any better if my head was dented in on one side from hitting the pavement.
What I would like to see, however, is a Harley Davidson helmet with a back vent for a ponytail so that it doesn't get mushed against the back of your head. You know—sort of like a baseball cap. Better yet, a cap that says "Helmet Hair" instead of "Bad Hair Day" that you can wear under your helmet.
Or perhaps a Harley Davidson helmet with some sort of ionic styling device built-in that heats up with solar power and actually sets your hairstyle as you ride. You remove your helmet and voila! Perfect curls! Or you could set your hair on spongy curlers and wait to remove your helmet in the restroom so that you can unwind the curlers and brush out your hair.
I guess until they invent Harley Davidson helmets to accommodate us girlie-girls we will have to be content with customizing our helmets to our riding outfits. Maybe with such attention to detail everyone will be too busy noticing our fashion sense to realize our hair looks like crap!
