if you haven't smashed your helmet into the ground - and it isn't super old, why do you need a replacement or an "upgrade". I have two, I'll have 4 before too long. Right now I have one HJC CL-15, and one AC-11. The CL-15 fits me better, so that's the one I wear, the AC-11 is for passengers.

Soon (in the next two weeks) - I will have another motorcycle, back home at my parent's house. I'll get two more helmets, one for me at home - and one for a passenger at home. That'll put me at 4. They'll probably all be HJC.

maybe i should look into carrying a passenger... that will be a sure way to buy another helmet. they can use my current one and i'll use the new one. :D

also, my passengers can't excede 130lbs.

Oh!

Well, I have to admit to owning six helments. Three are small, to fit me. Of these I have two Arais and a HJC. I bought them because I liked them. There's a yellow one which I bought with my yellow Hyosung, a silver one which I bought with my silver SV and a really good looking blue one which I bought because I had some spare cash and couldn't think what else to spend it on. I wear them all.

I have three others, medium, large and extra-large which I bought at various times when people wanted to ride pillion but didn't have lids of their own.

I also have one which got damaged when I had my last tumble. I keep it as a reminder not to spend too much time checking the bike's mirror, no matter how crazy the driver behind me is behaving.

Verm, you have no need for multiple helmets because you already have a full-face and you can't have passengers on your bike.

HAHAHAHA OMG VERM!!!

I leave the forums for a while and come back... and you've achieved superhero status! Hahaha I love the banner, especially the pic on the right.

Very nice man, very nice.


For the topic, I have a 3/4 that came with the bike, a full face I bought that started giving me headaches after a few months of use (weird I know, but true), the full face I use now, and an identical one that I bought to give my friends rides... which now that I think of it I'm not sure where it disappeared to... so I guess I only have 3 now.
