Deperfuming helmets

    Hello,
    Not sure if there is a fix for this problem but I thought I'd ask.
    When taking women for rides they inevitably leave traces of their
    perfume in your pillion helmets. This can obviously be a problem in
    some situations.
    I haven't so much done anything wrong but would like to be able to
    reduce the effect if there was a simple solution :)
    The same problem also applies to my spare jacket but to a lesser
    extent.
    Any ideas?

    Cheers,
    Duncan.

    Good question, dude!
    We're on your wavelength!
    A quick rainbow hurl might solve your problem, but not in an appropriate
    manner. I suggest three components:
    light
    air
    time
    ....unless you're game to toss the lot in the washing machine.

    connection and the result was:

    Not quite, I'm single and just trying to manage who knows what.
    I have the shitty old helmet that dozens of people have stuck their
    head in and the nicer pillion helmet for more special people.
    Seems Febreeze is the go, I'll report back if it works.

    PS: Relating to the other thread about Busa vs ZX-9R Pillion comfort,
    I have a ZX-6R which seems to do a fine job of pillioning so I imagine
    the 9R being broader would be even better.
    It's not quite as comfy as my old FJ1200 though...

    Had a similar problem with the Pillion seat!

    Those Hilton sisters have no consideration at all.

    Go to a rally
    Drink bulk piss
    Eat sausages and hamburgers
    Smoke bulk giggleweed
    Taper off with a couple of scotches
    Vomit in helmet
    then go to your own tent.

    Great question! I've read the other posts, some colourful ideas there. I
    think the technicolour yawn would present more problems than it fixes, and
    you would probably have trouble finding a "problem pillion" that would like
    to ride with you in a spewy helmet!

    I'm inclined to go with James Rolf's suggestion of getting a girl with her
    own protection. You can never be too careful these days!

    Sodium bicarbonate is your friend. (Also sold as "bicarbonate of soda" as
    well as a million other names.)

    Sprinkle heaps of the stuff inside the helmet, leave it overnight, then
    vacuum it out. If it's really strong, lightly spray the inside of the helmet
    with water before putting the bicarb in.

    My wife says the Febreeze is the best but you'll have to use it all the time
    so she's not suspicious. You could even imply that you're doing it for her
    benefit!

    Cayenne pepper.
    One whiff and she won't be smelling any perfume!
