    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.
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker

    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.

    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 In fact I may still have it lurking around somewhere

    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

    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).

    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.
