How many helmets do you own currently?

[Brownbikerbabe]

It seems I have one head and yet I keep a collection of helmet for every occasion currently I own

1-half helmet
1-3/4 helmet
2-full face helmets

[R6_kid]

Three.

My first, my second and my current.

I still use the first one for doing dumb shit when not on the bike. The second is my 'pillion' helmet.

[Stirts]

Now BB that's a bit personal don't you think? A lady mustn't kiss and tell!!!

[Danger Dave]

currently i have 8 helmets 4 - road and 4 - off road, i don't like selling second hand helmets but i like to upgrade so i keep them all on the shelf in the garage.

[KwakaZM]

3 Helmets... 2 for personal use and 1 for the pillion...

[Brownbikerbabe]

Now BB that's a bit personal don't you think? A lady mustn't kiss and tell!!!

At least I didn't ask how many pairs of shoes do you own:whistle:

[Dazza]

6 that I can wear, not counting several old ones that are old and manky, it's soo hard to find the perfect helmet .

[slofox]

two.......

[TWT Racer]

2 full face Riding helmets, and a snowmobile helmet

:)

[firefighter]

We counting non-bike helmets too?

Three.

One i'd never wear which came with an old bike.

One for commuting (still an expensive one!)

A new one new one for rides.

[YellowDog]

4 helmets of which one is almost unfit.

Only use the flip helmet now unless on a track.

Nolan, Shark, & Schubert figure highly in the next gen for me.

[Grubber]

5....
1 for myself to ride fast.
1 for my kids.
1 i brought in a moment of weakness
1 open face i used when i had slower bikes
and one i use for the dirt..

Thats probably 2 too many.

[crazyhorse]

I have 2. Arai and Shoei.
One for my yellow bike (sold it not long ago) and one for my current bike. Handy to have 2. One of them had something break off it, so while waiting for the part to be imported, I still had a spare :yes:

[Love my Bonnie]

I throw away my old helmets so im not tempted to use them
so at the moment only 2

[Swoop]

Three.
2 x full-face.
1 x Purple.

[The Everlasting]

2. A full face helmet for the motorbike,and a open face one for the scooter.

[cowboyz]

3. one for commuting. 1 for touring and 1 spare.

[SuperSonic]

3, my new one, my old one and Mrs Sonic's one.

[Owl]

1 Open face.

2 Full face

1 Frap hat

[Scotty595]

One :( :( :(

[tommygun]

One :( :( :(

Snap. Trying to convince "she who must be obeyed" that I need more than one is just too much :weep:

Just tell her that the one you have is damaged cuz some tool kicked it or something and that you need a new one for saftey... just make sure you have the money to buy one right then or she will start the whole if you can ride with it for this long it cant be too dangerous argument :p

[cs363]

2 full face road
2 full face off road

[tommygun]

just make sure you have the money to buy one right then

There lies the issue above. The moneys there but its for ......other things . Its okay I can accept owning 1 pricey helmet at a time. The next one I'm going to buy will be a back up / pillion but It will have to wait.

[boman]

2. My first, an FFM. And my second an Arai, Colin Edwards replica.

[Trudes]

4, but only 3 haven't been crashed and so are useable. 1 very spare one, an HJC for bucket racing and an Arai for road riding.

[LBD]

At least I didn't ask how many pairs of shoes do you own:whistle: Or what size....

2 that I use, an HJC for short pootles and a Shuberth with pinloc for touring

[pritch]

As of last week, five.

Two "budget" models that are used with the moped.

The more expemsive helmets are physically larger and won't fit under the moped seat. Apart from which, it seems silly wearing a hat that cost hundreds more than the moped.

[NordieBoy]

1 Flipfront (KBC FFR).
1 MX (ZPF).
1 Adventure (ZEUS 2100B).
1 Openface (Oxford).

Nothing > $180

+ old MX, flippy, fullface that don't get used.

The openface is the most used.

[Ratti]

old ffm and a shoei.
when should I toss the ffm? Its not been worn much has been dropped on the ground and marked but never crashed and has a spare visor. Should I sell it or toss it?

[KapitiLizard]

4 road - I wear my Shoei all the time so if anyone wants a couple of HJCs (never dropped) let me know
2 offroad
and my kids have 6.

Must be time for a garage sale ...

[Maha]

Two.
One smells like head and the other does not.

[nallac]

not enough...only 5

1 dirt
2 fullface
1 flipface

1 fullface for the wifey and kids..

[Ladydragon]

I own two helmets

[portokiwi]

Only Three now.......

[tri boy]

1 x Purple.

I'd see a doctor bout that.
Don't squeeze so hard on the up stroke.:sunny:

[neels]

4 helmets in the garage, in order of age..

Nice shiny new one
Wife's shiny new one
Wife's old one now a spare
My 20 year old one for playing in the dirt

Can't find my dirt bike helmet that I bought in 1987, I sense a new one coming soon....

[davebullet]

Just the one. I figure I only need to legally wear one helment on one of my heads when riding, so no point having more than one.

(I do own 2 boots though which is a bit of a contradiction to the above. You might suggest I need 2 boots as I have 2 feet, but regret I've probably just put one of them in my mouth by this obtuse post).

[Toaster]

Put the doobie down.......

[DougB]

I have a "Chips" Calafonia highway patrol job. An American "refugee" bought it with him. I used to wear it when scooting around Paihia locksmithing. I liked it as it had a click type catch that was quick to do up and undo. I wore it down town the other day on a quick shop trip, instead of my Nolan, it still felt good. I doubt it is legal in NZ.

Loads of money but the Schubert C3 is as good as a helmet gets: http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2008/08/schuberth-c3-becomes-quietest.html

Its Darwin at work :lol:Natural selection ;)

[DIN PELENDA]

13..........

[nsrpaul]

7
2 rossi reps
2 off road
2 for the track
and a yellow one for some reason

[Hawkeye]

3.

1 Cayberge V2 with internal visor
1 HJC which is for the pillion
1 slightly cheaper small one for my daughter.

And before I get flamed for the 3rd one. She only goes on the back for things like toy runs and due to the speed she is growing, can't justify an expensive one which she will grow out of having only used it 2-3 times. (can't remember make but still meets required safety standards).
Once she starts coming on the bike for regular rides, I will be purchasing number 4.

[BMWST?]

4 but three of em will never be worn again
OLD Bell 2,Old Arai,Old, something else...and The Shoei

[BikerDazz]

Just the 1 - M2R, I think it's called. Got it free from Yammy when I bought the bike. Meaning to get something flasher but so many options...

[NZsarge]

Two Arai's, a Chaser that I think i'll wear in winter and a RX7GP that i've been using during the warmer months, flows air real nice.

[sapperj]

Two
A nice shiny new HJC and my old chipped, repetadly dropped black full face... dont rememner the brand as it was many many years ago...

[Ender EnZed]

3. A crashed HJC, a good Shoei and an FFM that came with the bike. All full face.

[Mom]

3. A crashed HJC, a good Shoei and an FFM that came with the bike. All full face.

If you personally bought the Shoei, you have one. Any crashed helmet should be destroyed. I recomend a splitting axe and a pair of very strong scissors. It is actually fun to destroy a helmet that has met the ground at speed, cut the straps off it first, then attempt to smash it to smithereens. What ever it needs to be destroyed. The FFM that came with the bike? Is it safe? Meh, maybe it is maybe it isn't, I reckon offer points to see if it smashes slower than the one you know has gone to ground in a crash.

Me, I have one helmet. It is a Shoei.

[Mom]

my old chipped, repetadly dropped black full face... dont rememner the brand as it was many many years ago...

OMG! I had one of those too! It was spray painted matt bleck, had no visor and was so old the foam inside the padding was falling from it like dandruff :rofl: In fact I may still have it lurking around somewhere :D

It came with me along with my leather jacket and my Docs when my first marraige went splat! How could I have forgotten that one :lol:

[Ender EnZed]

The FFM that came with the bike? Is it safe?

It's perfectly safe as the shelf ornament that it is. No reason to wear an FFM when I have a perfectly good Shoei (that, yes, I bought myself).

[Mom]

I have a perfectly good Shoei (that, yes, I bought myself).

Nice helmet eh? Is yours noisey? Mine is terrible riding pillion, lovely on my own bike.

[Ender EnZed]

Nice helmet eh? Is yours noisey? Mine is terrible riding pillion, lovely on my own bike.

It's never bothered me. I've only worn it as a pillion once or twice but I didn't notice any significant difference in noise level. I used to wear ear plugs while riding but eventually gave it up since I couldn't be bothered getting them comfortable every time I put the helmet on and keeping track of them taking it off.
