how many helmets do you own? - Page 3 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

650Doug · 07-12-2007, 03:49 AM

I have 5 I can choose from on any given day, and hit the road.

Though one was bought specifically for my wife because she liked the color.

So 4 are "mine", and 1 is "her's"; but in the house I have 5 to choose from on any given day.

Uechi Kid · 07-25-2007, 06:24 PM

I own two but I wont wear the little beanie one.

kay · 07-27-2007, 01:10 PM

Hmm....kinda like reviving this thread?

I have 2. I had another Suomy which I am wearing in my avatar but that is broken now.

One is a Shoei X-11 (Rainey replica) and the other is a Suomy Extreme.
Both are full face.

GregR1 · 07-27-2007, 05:07 PM

i'm still on 2 (the original HJC and newer KBC), but i did contemplate adding at least one more - a Shoei flip-face (no other flip-face fit me as well as that Shoei). in this damned heat, it would be nice to be able to buy a cold drink and actually drink it without having to take off the helmet - just down it all, toss the bottle, and ride on!

wiggiebear · 08-03-2007, 11:25 AM

1. Shoei RF-1000 (Matte Gray)
2. Scorpion EXO-400 (Anthracite)
3. Vega XTS Naked (Gloss Black)

TTungett · 08-05-2007, 10:12 PM

A SHOEI flip for me and an HJC for my son...We hope to add two dirt bike helmets in December...

tzeigler88 · 08-23-2007, 02:36 PM

One that I personally wear all the time but there are 12 motorcycle helmets in my garage!

GregR1 · 08-23-2007, 02:45 PM

i'm up to 4 now (1 retired, 3 active), and still no flip-face. if they weren't so cheap with such cool graphics, i'd still be at 2.

cms58 · 06-04-2008, 06:44 PM

I have two now but the second one is not comfy, need to find a more comfy helmet that is not too heavy.

Davecm203 · 06-05-2008, 08:57 PM

I have a Scorpion 700 and Shoei RF1000. I wear both regularly. It depends on what I am doing, my mood. and the time of day I am going to be ridding.

fbrown · 06-06-2008, 01:33 AM

I got three all are black no designs, 1- Beel DOT half helmet (MINE and only mine), 1- old half helmet that looks like it's from the 60's, 1- full open face Bell DOT.
If you ride with me you must feel the breeze!

unless you bring your own.
never liked closed faced helmets. I like feeling the wind in my face
