None of my helmets are under five years old currently. The Shoei will be the first to be binned, a pity, it has a nice pinlock half dark visor, but it probably hasn't even been worn in five years. Maybe in the bin next week?
The Arai helmets are both 'good as new'. The AGV is still tight but the trim is starting to look a bit tatty.
I'm working on the assumption that fibreglass helmets maintain their structural integrity longer than some plastic ones.
At this late stage of my motorcycle career dropping $1100 or so on a new Arai doesn't seem a sensible investment, nor does buying a new cheap plastic hat.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
