Riders with Beards

I ride backwards...

When I wax my ear hairs, I get an irritating whistling noise when I get over 30 MPH.

Got tired of it. Trimmed it down to just a couple inches or so long. No bands, clips, strings or other shinola needed.

If your beard is so long, that when riding behind a windshield it smacks you in the face, just get a rubber band and wrap it around the beard, just below your chin.

My beard at one time was about as long as GatorJoe's buddy in the picture above and after a long ride, it looked like I parted it in the middle and it stuck upwards at a 90 degree angle---weird and ugly:smile_big:

I eventually bought some necklace beads with the interior diameter large enough to snake my beard through and it looked cool along with my shaved and tattood head, with the pony tail and fake nose and ear rings, as part of my 'Sturgis Rally' obligatory outfit along with my ornate western SPUR on my left Cowboy boot. Good for and extra 2 HP on the Electra Glide I was riding:grin:

Beards can also collect stuff that you eat, drink, get hit with or spit out---that story later:smile_big:

Finally just got tired of it, and the hair bands, and cut it down to maybe an inch long. The plan now is to just let it grow until it starts poking me in the face again, then hit it with the weedeater.

I gave mine a summer cut as well.:grin:

Basic training buzz cut at the start of my riding season when it starts to get warmer.:smile_big:

I wear a Van **** Goatee to hide my double chin:grin:

I'm covering wrinkles.

How do you keep your beard out of your face when you ride behind a windshield?

I didn't know if I should put this here, or in the general motorcycle discussion forums. Anyway, here it is. ?

I just cut about 3in off, now pull up from bottom of chin and it just reaches tip of my nose(which is a little on the lg side), before trimming it would reach eyebrow........my beard points straight at the windshield, never up in my face

I do carry a fro comb

That was a 2 year old post you replied to there @anybike.

But the last one before mine, that hogcowboy guy replied to about a year and a half old post

I trimmed, or I should say my daughter trimmed my beard up to only about an inch long now. When it gets to sticking me in the face again, I'll just trim it up again.
