Lifespan of a helmet

<< < (4/5) > >>

Lobo:
Indeed, cool helmet Oddjob.

... had an initial look through a couple of ‘bike shops today and was gobsmacked at the sheer number of helmets on display. Can’t imagine 1/2 of them ever get sold, and left wondering what happens to ‘em and whether they’re taken down after a certain time on display. Hmm.

On a separate note, here in Oz, it seems riding (almost) naked is totally acceptable - I bloody cringe at the number of folk in T-shirts and shorts doing 110kph on the m’way or wherever, on extremely powerful bikes. Florence needs them to sit down with his missus too... dear god it’s horrible to see....
Ho hum.

I like the look of that Shoe,it’s worth looking at Infinity Motorcycles online they have reductions on at moment😁

davefirestorm:
No they wouldn’t 😁worth looking at J&S to,I’m a tight bu**er and wait till helmets an old model.Have 4 useable helmets at mo 3 Shoei 1 Bell,wife thinks I have enough 😂😂

Lobo:
... if ya wait Dave for an old model have you not potentially lost a year or so of its useful life given we’re told that the linings ‘degrade’? That was my point on seeing the sheer number of helmets on display yesterday... ie most will be there too many moons after date of manufacture.
Confused!

davefirestorm:
No not if it’s kept in bag/box and stored properly,Shoei technicians told me 5 years advised life of helmet but if stored properly and not dropped will last for years obviously if lining gets grubby I’d bin it
