If you've got the necessary change ... Streetfighterhelme, Airbrushhelme

3 all 3/4, mine, my wife's and 1 for my kids.

SoCalCruisin · 05-02-2007, 09:15 PM

I have three, all HJCs. A modular, a 3/4, and a half helmet with the zippered lower leather. I try to normally use the 3/4, but I find I like the half the best. The full face modular is mostly for rain and very cold (it doesn't get worn a lot). I also have a Scorpion full face for my son and a Bell full face for my daughters.

scrimmer · 05-02-2007, 11:00 PM

1 Nolan FF that's really nice.
1 KBC Force RR FF for backup
1 Old Shoei open face w/ no shield
And I soon plan to own a good quality half-helmet as summer comes.

AJE777 · 05-03-2007, 09:04 AM

2, a Bell Shorty and a KBC full face. Also have another KBC that I went down with that I keep for parts.

D_Klein · 05-03-2007, 02:34 PM

I have my full face Scorpion (main helmet), a Shoei that I picked up on clearance for $100 (a little small for me, but good for passengers and useable as a backup), and a 3/4 maroon helmet that came with my first bike (that I'll most likely never wear again).

Jip · 05-03-2007, 02:49 PM

4 - 3/4 (davida, 70s shoei)
1 - full face
1- 1/2

Sollie669 · 05-04-2007, 02:37 AM

I have an Arai Full face for the rainy Pacific Northwest Days and a 1/2 helmet that I wear when it's decent...

Kodatech · 05-04-2007, 08:16 PM

hjc fullface, m2r fullface modular, fulmer half shell.

BlueMax · 05-08-2007, 02:23 PM

I have two HJCs, one full face and a 3/4. I am looking for a second full face that won't fog up no matter what.

XoZe · 06-17-2007, 01:26 PM

Being that I just bought the bike, one helmet...a light silver Shoei RF-1000.

GSX1100FL · 06-17-2007, 05:11 PM

5 helmets.

My first, Bell, open face, black going to the store about a mile away.
Second, Hondaline fullface, blue for quick spins around the block.
Third, Shoei RF200, fullface, white, night riding or passengers.
Fourth, Nolan N-100E Classic, modular, corsair yellow, I wear this one when I go to work.
Fitfh, HJC CL-Max, modular, black, riding down the back roads through small villages & towns.

**87gsxrnut** · 06-18-2007, 02:44 PM

I have two that are fairly new - plus a third which I have "retried" so to speak, but still occasionally wear it. I don't keep old helmets around due to space. I got rid of a lot of them in the past couple of years.

GIXXER-Mike · 06-19-2007, 11:27 AM

Only 1. I've had it for 3yrs now.

Samurai · 06-23-2007, 04:35 AM

Three:
Shoei J-Wing (White)
Arai Open Face (Black)
Unknown (came with the bike, never used)

Surprising! Some have more than 10!

parabians · 06-23-2007, 07:04 PM

Three. All HJC's. One 3/4, one AC full face, on CJ Max FF.

DR-Z125L · 06-23-2007, 07:19 PM

2

Uncle B · 06-23-2007, 07:55 PM

1 for me.
1 for the wife.

quipper720 · 06-28-2007, 10:12 PM

Two. Scorpion EXO-200 (3/4 face) for warmer weather and the Scorpion EXO-400 Octane (full-face) for rain and/or cooler weather. The 200 has an interchangeable visor/shield. I prefer the shield.

braddahmarv · 07-10-2007, 07:23 PM

I have 3 helmets, but only one that is used constantly on all my rides...

THH T-380 Open Face, Wine
THH T-67 Half Shell, Chrome
HJC CS-2, Black

The HJC helmet is my favorite, and is used rain or shine...
