How do you get rid of your old helmet?
The last one I disposed of by putting a pick thru it a couple of times and I cut the straps off as well. I chucked it on the inorganic collection pile. It lasted about an hour before someone grabbed it.

So how do/did you get rid of yours?

Err, if they've never been crashed in and they're not too old I usally just keep 'em for pillions or give them away to someone else. (I buy new helmets quite regularly.. god knows why)

But if I were to dispose of it, i'd have some fun. Fire and petrol is always fun. Throwing it off a tall bulding.. turning it into a portable beer holder.

Many, many things you can do.

I tried smashing an old helmet recently, was surprised how hard i had to hit it to make a dent in it.

We should write a book - 101 uses for a dead helmet.

We've got 6 helmets in the house now. Only 2 in use though.

Took my last one out to the range and shot it. Put the old girl out of her misery.... NA actually just wanted to see what would happen to it when one gets hit with a bullet. Impressive!!

I asked and was given a helmet recentley as I damaged a viser and hinge and needed a part. This this time I have ripped out the lining and planted some daises in it....looks good in the middle of the garden lol.
