This is totally off subject: SORRY TO THREAD JACK.

I do not understand when people list there used helmets on Craigslist for sale. I am a huge germaphone, and could not image putting on someone's well used helmet that they have been sweating in and what not. I know you can wash the padding, but only so much? kind of an eeeewwwee factor for me.

Lysol + Febreeze = New again!

I would do something like that if I had some disposable income. I keep my old helmet's beacuse they all mean something.Certian ride's and such.Plus how can you throw away something you paid so much money for even if you won't wear it?

[ks-waterbug]

One thing is for sure..... its been quite the conversation piece!

[Sannosuke]

I've been in dealerships that have less helmets on display!

[Spudley]

"OH DEAR GOD !!!!"...... I need to start buying MORE helmets !!!!!

Can someone say "Compensation ????"......... :oldcool:

OK so what's the deal about helmets needing to be replaced every 5 years? Why?

I donate mine to the battered husbands shelter ....

Helmets have a limited life, the industry suggests 5 years.
They lose shock absorbing properties with age as the materials age and degrade. So they say. I don't agree nor disagree.
Usually I am ready for a new lid in five years.
Tires are a good example, the industry now says 7 years. If a tire is 7 years old regardless of tread depth, replace them.

Nice

If you do any track days or cornering schools, they require the helmet to be newer then 5 years old, I think the 5 year rule is for DOT or Snell requirements.

Kristin on some helmets all the pads & liner are removable so they can be washed, or replaced. I still won't wear someone elses - like underwear.

That is a lot of freaking money!

[tsp]

My buddy at work had a collection like that. About $10k worth. He also had matching jackets for the helmets! He got divorced and sold all that stuff for pennies on the dollars!

[tsp]

And he rides a stock cbr1k. I have a few helmets and 2 jackets but thousands in the busa!!!!!!

[docjunior]

I've had 2 helmets over the last 3 bikes.

1st helmet went bye bye after i wrecked and my current fulmer flip up has taken a beating around the garage and since I wrecked and had my full face on I decided it was time to get a new full face and gona replace my flip up here soon.

I kinda want to hold on to my fulmer had that thing what seems like forever lol.
