When you're all leathered up, there aren't many options. Pocket hankies are cumbersome and tend to blow away in the wind. Letting the snot do the same can be horribly inefficient, not to mention rude to those behind you.

So, what's your solution?

full face

if a tree falls and no one hears it

same with the sneeze and aftereffects

sometimes you just gotta sneeze

The best tho is a flip up

just turn head sideways lift up bar and let her rip

or

Stop, sneeze, blow nose continue

Depress one nostril.

Blow hard, you should see a snot rocket exiting to the ground.

Depress Other Nostril repeat.

This will not work in a full face helmet.

Only open face or modular helmets.

I know some of you are saying OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh.

Will put your big boy drawers on and man up.

Eventually the snot freezes and can be cleaned up when you arrive at your destination.

Wrap a towel you ain't to proud of(motel towels will work)around the arm that suits you best(that would be left or right or both) and that keeps you from messin up leather or denim or whatever. uglystupid2 Them towels be good fer wipeing off the dipstick also. 2funny Course the snot rocket be a gooder way to. Roll Eyes RIDE SAFE.

Lee that is just sad.

Snot Rockets are pretty bad if your ole lady just had dinner and catches the sight of it out of the corner of her eye.

But that link is too much.
