Do you have any special rituals when the helmet is concerned like many have?

"Make a note that standing on the Autobahn at 3 o'clock in the morning is not as great as several thousand other things I've done in my life. Also, when a Porsche Turbo passes you at 175 kilometers per hour it nearly tears all your clothes off." - Henry Rollins
