just wondering what kind of helmets everybody has

GeeP

Plain-Jane White Shoei TZ-R.   The rowdy graphics on most helmets give me a seizure.   :laugh:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Red '96
Black MK2 SV

Ditto, but with polka dot reflective stickers (available in 1.5" wide x 5 yard strips at PepBoys automotive stores, or Orchard Supply Hardware).
You might be able to make 'em out on the back of my helmet, in my avatar.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Well I had an Arai Profile Carr, but then I wrecked and the helmet went bye bye.  I am thinking of getting another one or an RX-7 Corsair Edwards black.

Your helmet shouldn't be for looks. Get one that fits the best, THEN decide on how you want it to look.

With my all black gs500 and leather jacket on .. this is going to look bad :)

Used helmets = bad!

you don't know if the integrity of the helmet has been compromised in any way... I hope for you that it was never dropped... and that the guy who wore it didn't have some nasty scalp eating disease... but other than that... good buy!  :icon_lol:

I bought my RF-1000 used. You just have to look for the decent buys with plenty of description and a buyer with good history. I also washed mine before I used it, inside and out.

I hardly classify "THE HELMET IS IS GOOD CONDITION   AND  COST  OVER  275$   SIZE  IS   L" as a good description.... especially for something that is supposed to protect your noggin in an accident!

Well me neither, but maybe he does. Dunno. That's a Shoei RF-R though, which were manufactured in 1995. That means the helmet is 11 years old and already in need of replacement. Helmets should be replaced every 5 years due to material degradation and shell integrity diminishing.

Here's a BARF add for one for $30 OBO:

from what I've been told it's a good idea to replace your helmet once a year.
