One main, one backup, one passenger (differently sized) is a good amount to have.

I have 4 and only one of them doesn't have damage. :lol:

1 took two wrecks at barber
1 took a beat down from the cult church wire trap
1 has a minor floor drop ding, was a replacement for the cult church one until I got the barber wreck one.
1 is A's

I need another one that's undamaged for me

Rider 05-14-2008 11:06 AM

2, 1 for use, 1 for back up. Fuck the curb squirrels, they can hitch a ride on the back of some sucker...

t-homo 05-14-2008 11:11 AM

I have one. I will probably get another one later this summer or wait till next year. Then I will have two. Neither for a passenger. Fuck passengers.

JoJoYZF 05-14-2008 11:19 AM

Im at 2 right now and dont plan on buying anymore anytime soon. 1 main, 1 back up, and the back up is a medium so I can most likely use it as a spare for the few girls Id actually let on my bike.

NONE_too_SOFT 05-14-2008 11:23 AM

i wear XL lids and gloves, any girl that puts my lid on here head might as well wear a fishbowl.

for the record, only 3 of those i've actually worn. 1 is dads, 1 is for my little sis when she goes for rides with him (w/ the sticker still on it) and 1 is one that came w/ my bike. and i've had 1 stolen.

That yellow and black is hot- what is it?

:lol: on the XL. Same thing here. I have 1 helmet. Found out CompAcc has some good deals, but I can't really afford another after getting my wheels.

NONE_too_SOFT 05-14-2008 12:45 PM

donno bout the yellow helmet, if you want it its yours.

fnfalman 05-14-2008 02:13 PM

At last count I have 7-ea:

4-ea Arai Quantum II - my main riding helmets (to match my leathers, I know, it's gay).

1-ea Nolan N102 flip-up for commuting.

1-ea Shoei Multitec flip-up for commuting.

1-ea KBC (or is it HJC?) flip-up for curb squirrels.

YES! rock on kat, way to rock the helmet pyramid.

Katherine 05-14-2008 08:34 PM

You set such a beautiful example. I had to see if the coolness would rub off. Of course, I had to give the arai the place of honor. I <3 my arai.

Did this occur when you were using your bike to hunt?

Just wait, Mrs Colleen. Your helmet will multiply before your eyes and you'll be building your own helmet pyramid.

:lol: Not particularly, just curious. What size is it though? How's it fit? Might be worth something as a spare or passenger lid... if I ever carry a passenger, which is unlikely.

NONE_too_SOFT 05-14-2008 08:49 PM

Its an xl.

ceo012384 05-15-2008 12:10 PM

I still want the Arai Hayes replica.... fucking sick lid:

Yeah the HC AC-12 Carbon.... I have this one, the "vader" version:

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...C6595Large.jpg

They also make the 'elbowz' version which has more graphics and you can't see the carbon as much:

http://www.kneedraggers.com/image_st...1a0d_rough.jpg

And then they also make the plain carbon version:

Dnyce 05-15-2008 02:49 PM

I have eight.

Though, two of them served good time on heads - and are now living out their lives after being the *guestbooks* for our wedding last year.

FWIW, I accept donations of helmets for new riders that have signed up for the MSF through one of my business partners. www.totalrider.com Helmets should be damage free - and will be put to good use. :)

I have the plain version. I looked at the Yates and the Spies versions but stuck with the plain for the full CF effect.

I can cover that cost... just let me know and I'll either paypal or send you a check :) I think that's awesome.

There are so many riders that SOMETHING is better than the nothing they think they can afford.

That's very nice of you.

I gave one of the new riders a Shoei RF1000 XL that I had but didn't quite fit me.
