Should i buy a new helmet?

[Rough Customer]

I started with a beautiful new old RF1000 Diabolic Zero that I paid $100 for.  Once I figured out that I was going to stick to riding I bought a brand new Brilliant Yellow Shoei Qwest.

Love the Qwest.  It ROCKS and it was $330 brand new.  If you love the RF1000 you will really love the Qwest.  It is an upgrade for sure.  It fits me better than the 1100 or the X12.  It has more of an RF1000 fit than the RF1100 does.  Read some reviews.  I am not the only one that likes it.  I was willing to spend whatever on the helmet that I wanted all the way up to the thousand dollar Arais and the Qwest was the best fit.  Also I do not like that the Arais do not have detents for the face shield like Shoeis.  Speaking of the detents the ones on the Qwest are much better than the detents on the RF1000.  At first I thought that they were to soft but the shield does not move around while riding and they are easier to use.

Your riding skill and awareness has so much more fo do with safety than the "sell by" date on your helmet.
