I was grabbing one of my helmets this morning when It hit me that I am a helmet junkie! I currently own 10 helmets, all of which are in good usable condition. I have actually thrown away 4 helmets in the past year. I think I need help!! Are any other Buellers here helmet junkies? |

Leather jacket junkie, here. I have 6 (nice) leather jackets. I live in SW Florida, so, go figure . My motto: You can never have too many leather jackets, eh. Steve-O |

Dang, that's a lot of helmets. I have two; one for me and one for my wife. It's a full face modular (love that flip up front). I just threw an old one away. The lining was falling apart. I may purchase a standard lid soon just so I can get that wind in your face feel since a helmet is required here in Virginia. |

Buelliedan: That is quite a collection of helmets. Are you looking to get rid of a few? If so, why not catelog them here for perusal? (Message edited by fdl3 on March 24, 2005) |

Jeez, Dan, I thought I was the Imelda Marcos of helmet owners at 6, plus my wife's 2! And just last week, while cleaning out my garage, I 86'd a Bell Star I bought in 1969... rt |

I can absolutely relate Dan. I have a KBC that I wear while commuting. I have a Simpson RX-8 that I wear for going fast. I have a Simpson Model 31 and a Simpson RXM-1 that I keep around since they show the evolution of the Bandit helmets. I keep a Simpson Horizon on the shelf for Off Road usage (not used for quite a while). |

Just a plain gear junkie. 6 helmets which are all quite usable..hell 3 are only a yr old or less. The wife has 2 helmets of her own & I dont throw helmets away..they just get retired to a shelf in the basement. At least a dozen different riding jackets, untold numbers of gloves, etc. Lord do I ever love Newenough & Motorcyclecloseouts.com |

I end up collecting helmets one at a time - after trashing one. My collection is up to 6 now. |

One suit, one helmet, one set of gloves, one pair of useable boots, one rain jacket...no need for more. |
