Lumberjim...I need helmet source recommendations for guys with big heads
 

I have a sizable noggin; as such, I cannot wear normal sized headgear. I am now searching for a new motorcycle helmet, and no one local has anything that will fit me.

I started thinking about who else rides that I know, and also has a freakish large head (because of lots of brains inside, of course), and I thought of LJ.

So dude? How large is your noggin? What size helmet do you wear now? Where would you suggest I look for a new brain bucket?

There might be some help here:

Extra Large Motorcycle Helmets

Any price you want to pay, I believe CycleGear will have you covered.

At the least they might give ya some ideas on which way to go.


ETA - They have a store/showroom in Lenexa.

You have asked this just as LJ left to use that helmet. He's ridin' across the appalachians!

How bleeding inconsiderate of him!

Well you know what they say. Big head,




i'm not sure what they say

Big bike?

I was thinking abot head size a few months ago when I had to hire my graduation gown and cap. I didn't have a tape measure, so I just guessed based on typical head size for a woman. I have no idea if I am average head size or not. Maybe I have a giant heid and never knew? Or a teeny, tiny head.

Obviously Jim has a big head.* Vikings developed big heads to accomodate their horned helmets.








* I say obviously, but I've never looked at a photo of Jim and thought 'he's got a big head'. What constitues big anyway in head terms?

Well you shouldn't feel bad about it if you have a small one


you know what they say,


there's nothing wrong with a little head.


that IS what they say

I think it's easy to claim you have a big head, we need proof! We need a cellar poll!

Craniums represent!

I have a modest size 7 3/8.

I took an interest in this thread as I have been blessed to excess in the cranium department, if not in the contents thereof.

I used to ride horses and could rarely buy an off the shelf equestrian crash helmet. The retailer usually had to order one in.

Three or four winters ago I was looking after horses and had to transport hay out to the fields on a quad bike (ATV).

I took initial steps toward finding a crash helmet from a motor cycle outlet but my temporary spell at the stable was fairly short so I didn't pursue the matter any further.

I've just had a look at my old riding crash hat and see that the size is shown as 7½ - 7⅝. Sizes tend to differ from one manufacturer to another and I recall having one shown as 7¾.

Good luck in your search, Elspode. Would you like to volunteer what size you are searching for?

I've always found other people's hats to be on the small side for mine own haid.

I just measured it (my head) and it turns out it was 23¾ inches for the round trip, so about a 7⅝, or so.



ETA: Ima go ahead and guess Jim's head to be at least 26 inches. Because of his big brain. Or encephalitis. Something.

'Spode, I don't know where LJ got his helmet...

...and I don't mean to say he has a big head...

...but, this is where he gets his hats and bandanas made.

:madhop:

I don't know from hat sizes, but mine's 22 inches around. I bet you could fit two of me in all you people with fiveheads.

We should create a cellar cranial scale. 58 er 7 1/4 for me.

have a tiny head, but my baby Thor has a flippin watermelon. No wonder he wouldn't come out the conventional way. I think heads grow really quickly though nad the rest of his body might grow into it? If it keeps on at that rate, he'll be looking for plus size hockey helments and I bet they aint' cheap. Sorry, no help with the bike helmet though. Does LJ even need one over there? they struck down the law requiring them to be worn here. stupid twonks

I don't wear a helmet because it's the law, I wear it because I don't want a brain injury.

wait a minute, doesn't LJ have a huge neck and a fivehead? If his actual head were big, this would not be items of note in the same way.

I know it's rude to speak ill of the dead, but is it rude to speak speculatively of the unresponsive?

He's just being demure, doesn't want to embarrass all of us with his girth.

Fivehead?

As in, more than a "forehead."

I have a full face convertible that is 3x. I usually get by with 2x. Try Revzilla. Decent prices, superior shipping and servics.

How's the cross-country ride going, LJ?

Having a blast. Taking lots of pics and even some ferring mounted go pro video.

We're riding the Blue Ridge Parkway. On the way back north now. One more day of enjoyable riding... Goal is Front Royal. Then boogie home....

Cool. Beautiful area. Please post pics!
As for noggins, seems I'm right in the mean/median/middle of the curve range. I'd be a 7 3/8. Sounds like you know where to get the larger chapeaux though, LJ. Happy riding and safe trip home!

I haven't asked a man his size since I was a teenager.
Although the Evil Ex told me his when I was in my twenties. Not surprisingly, he lied (I looked it up with a tape measure afterwards.)
And no, I'm not talking about his heid, although it seemed to be where he kept his conscience.

But now I want to know the size of every man on the Cellar.

The head above the collar of course.
Because as Blackadder told us, size is no guarantee of quality...

I wonder why men think bigger is better for men, but smaller is better for women?
I mean, have you ever known a woman who measured her snatch?

I'm sorry.
I'm really being coarse in a sensible thread.

Protip, if you don't have a tape measure, a spare USB cable and any yardstick/metrestick will do.

23 ½" / 59.5 cm (Large)

Wow. Just measured and I got 22 1/4", which makes no sense at all in terms of that chart because I know I wear a bigger equestrian helmet than a 7 1/8. On the other hand, my head is long front-to-back. Hard to fit. So that probably explains it. My third son has the same thing, suffered agonies of anxiety in middle school thinking he had a deformed head (he's anxious by nature). All right, this is embarrassing; move along, nothing to see here. Lightbulb head is all.

Measured, no. But I know I have a larger than average cooter. I also have a stronger than average cooter, though, so I choose to believe it works out in the end.

Oh Clod! That's set all of the minds of the Cellarmen racing! :rolleyes:

Wull wait, howdya -

and howdya --

and wait, wait, howdya know what AVERAGE is?!?

Here is what I know:

1.) More than one partner (in the politest of honest-sharing contexts) has admitted that I am, at the very least, the largest they have been with. And I have been with the same person since I was 19, so it's not like this is a post-baby development (and mine didn't come out that direction anyway.)

2.) The sex toys that I find ideal are what the internet refers to as "super extra large." Regular ones are... meh.

3.) Tampons fall out of me. Not right away, but you're supposed to have to pull those fuckers out, not shove them back in repeatedly. I just recently discovered extra large ones online--not extra absorbent, mind you, just a little wider than normal. They are not directly advertised precisely as such, but the discreetly-worded positive reviews did not lead me astray.

Clod's...stronger than...oval-headed...


I can't concentrate for shit right now...:(

sounds like you could accommodate a large helmet

Maybe some Dark Helmet.

I'm still thinking about Clod's "stronger than average cooter"...


Mr. Clod is a lucky man...Urrbody wants a girl with a stout coochie.


"Son, here's the secret to a happy life: Find yourself a girl who can pick up a full magnum of champagne with her twitchit, and marry that girl."

Rest assured, he puts up with plenty of other crap in exchange.

I genuinely lol'd. For quite some time.

Sent by thought transference

That's the end of the list, then. I guess EVERYthing really is bigger in Texas.

Just goes to prove that guys aren't actually all that picky. "Hot dog in a hallway" is almost as common an insult category as the "pencil dick" theme, but admit you have one and all of a sudden it's, "oh my god that's so hot."

What guy says, "Actually, my penis is really small," and all the women start fawning? Doesn't happen. All a woman has to do is begin to describe their body--in whatever terms they want--and the men immediately respond that it just so happens to be their favorite kind.

Every female in the tribe must get pregnant. Very important.

It's kinda like the thing that Ron White talks about with boobs:

Only it's more like:

Guy: I sure do wish I had a little pussy.

Gal: Me too. Mine's big as a hat. Ya want some of it?

Guy: Well...uh...er...Yeah. That's my favorite kind.

:jig:

Is it just me, or, has this thread drifted?:eyebrow:

Less drifted, more adrift.

Is this the awkward moment when lumberjim admits to photoshopping all of his pictures because he is actually looks like this:

So, Pat. Did you get a Helmet?

Since my hats are all one-size-fits-most, adjustable trash, I did the tape measure and got 23" even. Then I remembered my official National Park Service Ranger Hat, from the genuine National Park Service Ranger Hat store, fitted by a genuine National Park Service Ranger Hat salesman, and that's 7 1/8. That doesn't jibe with the chart. Jim, what did you measure with the tape?

Men.
You meet a woman who can pick up a magnum of champagne with her nunny. But you always suspect there's another one out there who can actually get the cork out.

Hahahahahahahaha. Oh God, that's classic Sundae.

I measure 24 3/4 - 7/8... So I'm at the top edge of XXL. I did have to work the padding at the front of my half helmet a little with a a balpene hammer to get the fit just right.

That sure beats modifying your head, with a hammer or the road. you be smarter than the average bear. :thumb:

ftfy

I didn't know they helmets that small. I measure my head and it's 21 1/4". The chart shows they have helmets as small as XXSmall. Are they for children?

Children, small people, munchkins, anybody with money. :yesnod:

I always thought I had a big noggin because I have to put the cheap baseball caps on the largest plastic hole setting. 24.5 inches, so I'm between an XL and an XXL helmet.

You need to measure when your brain is flaccid.

That stuff only crushes once, you know.
