Helmetisation

[Maha]

How many helmets is enough?
I think I am extravagant owning two....:corn:

The one I wear mostly I have had for 7 years.
It needs to be put out to pasture, nothing really wrong with it, I just want another one..
This one has me all... Whawoa!...http://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/?ObjectPath=/Shops/10207048/Products/KBC-VR-1X-Tribal-Silver-Black-117/SubProducts/KBC-VR-1X-Tribal-Silver-Black-117-0001&ViewAction=ViewProductViaPortal&Locale=en_GB&Currency=GBP

Had eight helmets between the two of us until last week. Thanks to Mully's suggestion the playcentre next door are now enjoying four of the old ones I needed to retire :)

[T.W.R]

6 helmets :yes:
1 regular use road, 1 spare road, 1 mx, 1 road (brought in 88 & used 4 times), a 1950's corker helmet, & a 1950's Bates racing helmet :facepalm:

[blackdog]

Call WT, I know they had some wicked shoei specials when i was in there last, kinda tribal too. Didn't have my size :(

Karleen loves her VR2R, but the freakin kbc's don't fit my AGV head.

[gijoe1313]

Hmm lemme count ...

1 x ye olde helmet my brother used to wear
2 X Caberg (1 retired now)
1 X MX Camo helmet
1 X Flipface helmet
1 X Spare Red helmet
1 X Shark helmet (my girl's primary)
1 X Blue helmet (my girl's backup)

... hmm, I guess that is a few now innit? :innocent:

And still planning on a couple more! :shutup:

[gale_wolf]

I've got three at home with one to fit a female pillion's noggin, but I'm also on the hunt once more for a new one to replace my daily commuting lid.

[avgas]

I like my KBC-VR1, its a great helmet. As good as my XR800 was, better than my dads XR1000.

I want one of those Airoh combo things as well though.

Fricken real nice helmet!

Just tight for a medium, maybe advertise as a SM?

[wysper]

Christ almighty! I have just one.

I am seriously under helmeted!

[Geeen]

We have 4, 2 x Shark, 1 x HJC, and 1 x Suomy. The Suomy should really be used as a toy coz its more than 5 years old.

[Blinkwing]

Only have one, scraping together funds to replace that singular helmet. :(

We stayed at Pussy's place at easter, he had about a dozen helmets in the bedroom.
I suppose over the years you do collect a few (ifen you dont throw the older ones away)

[The Baron]

I came home about two weeks ago with another helmet. My wife spotted it and did a count = 8. I had to give two away so I'm now down to 6.


I just don't see the problem...

[wysper]

I don't think anyone is suggesting there is a problem.
Just interesting.

I suppose I can double my numbers to 2 if I count my daughters helmet.

[Maha]

...indeed, we actually have five here but only two belong to me.
I always reach for old faithfull not the newer one.
I think I will have to get one of those VR1 Tribals...:corn:

Oooooooooooooooooooo I want the Turbine one...........to sit next to my matt black one.......

[baptist]

Got two, one I use all the time, the other is just a spare incase of erm... anything. Daughter has one as well.

[george formby]

I had to move some of my tackle boxes yesterday to make room for another helmet, a gift. That brings me to 5 helmets & 1 head.
Why do the KBC's float your boat Maha?

I guess its, once you've (well me personally) settled on a product that suits your requirements financially/style and comfort wise, then why change.
Same applies with my riding gear, Rev'it top and bottom.

[NZsarge]

Got three Arai's, 1 Chaser and 2 RX7GP's, one of them is buggered though.

...just spied that Black/Gold Grafitti Rider.....:love:
I have black gear and gold rims on the bike....:yes:

[Geeen]

Women have shoes and handbags, we apparently have helmets

Yeah, but then people write to KB and complain their helmet smells. You wouldn't wear the same pair of shoes every day. Guess that works for helmets too?

Oh, and I've got five.

...thats another thing, helmet preference. While some multi helmet owners have different makes, some will only buy and own a certain brand. I dont think its brand loyalty, more ''if it fits, wear it''.

[NZsarge]

my favourite a Shoei XSPIRIT 2
Is there any particular reason why you consider it to be your favorite, anything that stands out...?

Arai's fit me well but to be fair I haven't worn anything else to know if there is another brand that fits as well. Very happy with my lids though so...

:niceone: Gotcha.
I'm the same way with my Caberg, I absolutely love the internal sun visor although the helmet is not outstanding in any other way. Good bang for my buck.

Was talking to someone on Saturday who has one of them..he was wondering if they do a darker visor?...seems the current one maybe a tad to light.

It would appear the answer is yes, for some models.

[Maha]

I relented...http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=398272743

Had to go down country a tad for the purchase as I didn't get a reply to my email that I sent to a ''closer'' outlet asking about stock of this item.

[Scouse]

Is there any particular reason why you consider it to be your favorite, anything that stands out...?Yep it is the most comfortable helmet that I have ever worn also it does not generate very much wind noise

[Scouse]

I have 4 an Ari RX7 a Shoei XR1000 a Shoei XSPIRIT and lastly but my favourite a Shoei XSPIRIT 2actualy I forgot I realy have five helmets I forgot about the purple one

Nice, I do like the look of the X Spirit 2's and the 1100's as well, interesting to hear you think the X Spirit 2 is a quiet lid.

[theseekerfinds]

I love helmets like women love shoes and handbags.. current cupboard stock sits at 1 Arai RX-7, 1 Scott Russell rep and 1 Tomomi Manako rep - both Shoeis, 1 KBC, 1 HJC, 1 THH and a Jet Star.. the first three fit me and I wear regularly, the last three don't fit me and as such are spares for pillions and the jet star.. well that was for drag racing and track days in the old Commodore.. I wouldn't wear an open face lid nor offer it to a pillion but it was sweet for the car..

[Maha]

My new additon should be here any day now...:wari:

[Maha]

New Helmet turned up yesterday, I love how new stuff smells new and not of head..:confused:

[BMWST?]

i dont keep old helmets.Once i decide they are old they get cut in half and chucked out
