Helmet Cabinet Advice

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by d8mok, Dec 18, 2014.

  1. I've managed to acquire a helmet cabinet that takes 5 helmets for display. It's not 100% sealed so how do I stop spiders making a home inside my helmets?

    My best idea so far is to tape some clear plastic underneath the helmet. These helmets won't be worn as they are my old ones.
     
  2. Fill them with some conkers instead, spiders hate them.
     
  3. that cant be true cos my heads like a big conker and im always getting them trying to make friends with my ear
     
  4. I think

    a) you're irrationally afraid of spiders
    b) You're not going to wear them anyway so why not let them live there

  5. i dont mind spiders tbh, but not really wanting them to infest my helmets. It will live in the garage i should point out too.
     
  6. Ah. OK.

    Bit of cling film round the bottom?
     
  7. Put some birds in there, they'll eat the spiders :upyeah: Lateral thinking see! ;)
     
  8. yeh thats best idea so far.

    I was once thundering (in my head) up 13 bends towards matlock/bakewell when a spider walked along the inside of my visor. Very hard to concentrate when an extra for 8 legged freaks (film) thinks its funny to try to put you off
     
  9. But then id need a cat to kill the birds.

    AND then a dog to get the cat


    AND then a lion to ge the dog

    so now ive got a lion inside my helmet not a spider.
     
  10. I had an angry Bee between my eyes and visor once, it was feckin hard to stay on the road and concentrate with that in there, I tell you.
     
  11. i got stung twice in 2012 by wasps inside my helmet. One time was at the TT and my mate thought it as funny when i was all over road trying to ge rid of it

  13. Take all the issues away by giving them to the rescue services, for training.
     
  14. I gave away some normal helmets to local Fire station. But these are all limited edition rep lids and one my grandma bought me a day before she passed away. So wanna keep them
     
  15. Stand the cabinet on top of a shallow tray with water in.
     
  16. Don't be mean and let the spiders have a nice cosy warm home :)
