Helmet rider/driver helmet bumps - maxredline - 08-24-2022
I had a little chuckle from a rider who mentioned, as we all know as helmet bumps, or what ever it is called in your area.
Here they are known affectionately as turtle f"s.

? Guess I'm not up to date on things. Haven't the foggiest notion what you're talking about.

The love taps that result when the pilot ain't that smooth...............

Ahhhh, I see it now. I almost always have a passenger and never experience that so I suppose I must be a "smooth operator" LoL

I rarely have it but it also depends on the motorcycle and how much space there is between the rider and pillion. For instance, on the RS where I am leaned forward slightly more than the Tracer (the latter of which has slightly more seat-to-seat distance) we hardly ever bump heads. Easier to do so on the Tracer.

GSAP can help to keep the shelled reptiles from fornicating.

On local roads there is an occasional helmet bump when braking, I try to be mindful I have a passenger and need to brake different from when I’m riding solo.

Or how about when your passenger falls asleep putting pressure on your head and neck. That is where the reverse turtle "f" comes into play 8)
