Even so, it's nice to know you have a backup helmet that is fully qualified.

I thought about sending mine in, but from the looks of it, it's toast. Besides, the paint is chipping and it's just not as pretty as it used to be.

Yes a backup is good to have. Had I known this was an option I would have sent mine back, to see if it was worth selling. I just threw my old one away.

How cool is that? Mine's getting some age on it now though. I figure I will replace it next year.

Shoei and Arai have always done that. Sparx would have sent her a new lid for free.

I'm with most everyone else though, I'm not going to risk it and besides, who wants to wear a fucked up looking helmet?

Arai just sends me a new one. But that's different
