just wondering what kind of helmets everybody has
Plain-Jane White Shoei TZ-R. The rowdy graphics on most helmets give me a seizure. :laugh:
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.

Scorpion EXO-400 Warhawk (no pics.. too lazy)
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.

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:

Hasn't sold yet, but was posted back in January.
Looks like one of those f'ugly MSF helmets they let you borrow.
not the exact colors, but close enough

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

Once a year??? That's a bit excessive if you ask me. My quote of 5 years for replacement is directly from Shoei.
Just bought this helmet!
