Hair
Not to worry..
Get a comp windscreen and she won't worry about her hair.
She'll be too busy trying to control her cheeks from flapping in the breeze.
That usually happens at about 6500 RPM's in any gear right after the first bug hits her teeth.
Totally not a wifes favorite ride.
Mine was in 4027 at speed once. That was enough. And, she's a driver that like to go fast(Skip Barber etc). Just doesn't like shotgun in a COBRA

My wife has the same problem.
She pulls her hair back in a ponytail and then covers her head with a ball cap ( with a clip on the back )
The hoody works very well, but can be warm.
A farmers hat works, but is anoying if you get cross winds.
A dew rag works very well and my wife uses it with equal suscess. Dew rags she uses are: a large kerchief tied about the head and tucked in the back or a biker cap that is prefitted to a persons head.
One last hat that works is a watch cap, but is warm.
My wife drives about a third of the time when we are out and about, so we have experimented with other methods to keep her hair from getting tangled.
I hope this helps.  |

My wife has short hair...
My hair is about as long as my wifes. She's worn it very short for years, but she has yet to even set foot in the Cobra. Never asked for a ride, much less to drive it.
I like it that way...!

Mine also uses the clipped pony tail out the back of a Cobra ball cap with some real nice wrap around sun glasses to keep the "strays" from whipping into her eyes.  But on long cruises, she's adding Bose noise canceling headphones to keep the hat on at high speeds. She gets so comfortable at times she'll nod off. Also, her ears won't ring for hours afterward.

I was actually responding to the other Fred. But it looks as if both Fred's are appropriate for my comment/question.

My wife has the same type of hair
and the same complaint. Rare occasions she will ride will me in the Cobra. This last Friday night we took the Cobra out to eat dinner. Life was good. She had her hair pulled back and wore a cap.

She hasn't sat in the passenger seat since the spring of '00.
