This was made for ICON, but would probably apply to any helmet..

Very handy post for mid August!  There's another tip, perhaps on this website, to put a laundry dryer sheet inside your helmet when you don't plan to use it for a few days....

or you can wear a welders cap like me on your head and not worry about cleaning the inside of your helmet. Just wash the cap.

I agree with Smoked U.

That's exactly what I do since I'm a bald eagle.

Plus, you should buy a new helmet every 5 years.

Tires are good (the best) for 5 years also.

That's the 5 year plan Boys!

I get my septic tank pumped every 4 (FOUR) years, every Presidential election year. Not hard to remember; I know some presidents are HARD TO FORGET>
LOL...

just a little fun from your Northern neighbour!

Cheers!

Riding almost every day in TX heat, the sweat drips down to the cheek pads, so I'll need the dryer sheet trick to get me thru the summer until a Spring wash as shown above.  5 years on tires ... I guess you have a lot of bikes, super smooth roads or not enough riding as I can't go a year on a rear tire.
