How many helmets

Yasko · February 14th, 2013, 08:47 PM

How many helmets do you own? I have one Shoei RF1000 in my two seasons.

haha what's wrong with that? You can only wear one at a time. No need to have 20 of them.

mfresh · February 14th, 2013, 08:55 PM

I have just one. I don't really see a need to have more than that if it's just for yourself... Given how $$$ they can be.

I got a RF-1100 myself.

Jiggles · February 14th, 2013, 08:59 PM

Oh and I have another Shoei RF1100 too that I don't have a picture of

tfkrocks · February 14th, 2013, 09:01 PM

One. Just ordered one so two very soon, but I will still only be wearing one.

Now I don't fill so bad in getting a new lid.

SMman · February 14th, 2013, 09:38 PM

3: Shoei X-11, Fox V1, and old Shoei RF800 for beating around on the ATV.

antiant · February 14th, 2013, 09:51 PM

1. Bell Star Cerwinske Carbon Helmet
2. Bell Star RSD Black Beauty Carbon Helmet

Gorilla25 · February 14th, 2013, 10:08 PM

1. Exo 400 - Red - Urban Destroyer: For everyday town riding
2. Shoei Quest W/Pinlock lens - Solids; White: For freeway and twisties riding

BlueHairSar · February 14th, 2013, 10:26 PM

2. I don't remember where, but at some point I hear/read that it's a good idea to have two (esepcially if you're in a place that gets hot) so you can alternate, and then them air out and cool down, which can help the life of the helmet. Shrug. I got my second because there was a ridiculous sale on the scorpion EXO 1000.

EternalNewb · February 14th, 2013, 11:03 PM

Right now one Shoei X-12, but I want to add an Arai and/or a Nexx to the mix.

Alex · February 14th, 2013, 11:12 PM

A pile of them. Though one less than I had a few weeks ago.

Didn't keep it as a trophy?

CynicalC · February 14th, 2013, 11:22 PM

Mine:

vince_2149 · February 14th, 2013, 11:33 PM

I have three:
After my first crash I sent my helmet into the company (Zamp) and they gave me a decent discount on the gold one.
Then I discovered the scorpion exo-700, half the weight and a tighter fit (XS) so I got the blue one on closeout while I owned my '07. I picked up the white exo-700 on closeout when I got my 2012 and wear that pretty much 100% of the time now

nautica · February 15th, 2013, 04:17 AM

1 Bell Vortex and 1 Scorpion EXO-500.

And for those with quite a few helmets, Ikea has a display case that could be kind of cool to show off your helmets like so.
This is not my picture.

Ikea link.

Wasn't that one the one shown in your avatar?

Or do you have more with the same design and color?

Alex · February 15th, 2013, 11:13 AM

4. I have two HJC CL15s, ones a small the other a medium because my head got bigger from when I was 12 lol. The small is probably gone forever because an ex gf has it lol.. Then I bought an exo-400 to replace the aging hjc that had been dropped a few times and used it for about a year, then I got a killer deal on an icon variant so thats what I'm rocking now.

In what way is Bell a piece of crap? Are you speaking about before they came back on the scene, prior to that, both, neither?

Yasko · February 15th, 2013, 06:47 PM

For sure not the new Bell.

menikmati · February 15th, 2013, 06:48 PM

Shoei RF-1100, although I want to try on a Nexx Carbon one day (just to see the weight difference, not to buy).

alex.s · February 15th, 2013, 07:45 PM

The bell was 35$ from pepboys in 2004
