Modern Vespa

As a lady rider I like to mix and match my riding gear as much as possible. Thinking about adding a 5th helmet to my collection. Also with the weather in Florida good to have more than one for riding back to back days in hot weather to help keep the interior clean and fresh.

Just curious, how many helmets do most riders have at one time?

Haha good call.

I have 2. Ones able to be full face and open for the bad weather days.

Then I have my all time favourite which I try to wear as much as is possible.

Until a helmet I find better looking comes out I'm strangely happy with just those 2.

I'm thinking in hot climates,helmets should be like leather shoes. Never waer the same two days in a row. Always let one ,or more, pair "breathe"

I don't need to tell women about having multiple pairs of shoes.

I've got three ....... One for winter n one for summer 😉

3, 2 full face and one 3/4. The full face each match the bike with an Italian themed AGV for the Vespa and a gloss black Arai for the BMW. I'd have more but need to have a Sena in my lids which adds a fair amount to the price.

One :D

I have many more helmets than I have heads, my wife says. I'm not gonna count 'em this morning, but if they were rings I'd probably have more than I have fingers on my left hand. And I just threw out two of the oldest ones.

Buying a shiny new helmet in the middle of winter cheers me up!

I have 3 helmets; an old Bell, an Arai and a Nolan. The first two are oldish so I only wear the Nolan now. I cannot bring myself to throw out the other two!

I counted them in my head this morning. 10

But I only wear two these days.

They are identical day glo yellow scorpion 3/4 helmets.

One is maybe five years old, the other two.

I only bought the second to replace the first when it finally wears out. The first has broken bits but is so comfortable that it is still my go to helmet.

I wear the newer one on Oyster Tours because it matters to Lostboater. He always comments on my helmet choice, so the fresh one goes with him.

I have 3-in-1.

My Nexx SX10 has interchangeable covers. I have red, white, and yellow. When I get bored with a color (or the urge to throw money at another helmet), I change the cover.

I have two....bought the first one as a newb-a 3/4 cheapie. With more research decided I really wanted FF so bought my Shoei. Love it, probably replace it when it's aged out, but for the price I'll hold on until I need to replace it.

Let's see...I have a Shoei that has "aged out" and a flip-up Hi-viz Fulmer that is almost there. My daily helmets are a Shoei FF a Shoei flip-up (both white with some stickers), an Icon hi-viz Airmata FF, and a red-white-black-blue Arai FF.

Don't worry about getting a helmet to match your jacket.... just buy another jacket.

I enjoy 3. One Full, one 3/4, and one half.

I have 3, 1 full face, one 3/4 and one 1/2.

Oh, never throw an old helemt out donate it to a local fire dept for training.

Here are some pics in the wild

I have two, A Vespa copter helmet and a Nolan flip up.

I wear the Nolan almost exclusively - it's comfy, well vented, and has my Sena mounted. The Copter helmet mostly sits in a closet.

My previous Nolan got banged up badly last year in a lowside. I gave it to one of the members in my club who is an EMT to use as a training tool with his department.

My husband has two, a full face, and a 3/4. I have 1.5, a full face for me and a half helmet I share with the kids.

I have a very small noggin (52 cm, 20.5") and my XS full face is too big. The half helmet fits just right with one exception, as a youth medium it's not made deep enough from top to bottom for an adults head.

I'd be happy to add a color matched Vespa helmet to my collection, but alas, the smallest available is still too roomy for me. I would love to have one that fits properly (and can be worn in 110+ degree weather) so I'm open to suggestions.

I have two

Caberg Duke for daily commuting use and an Old BMW System 6 that I use as open face in the (rare) hot UK weather

Only got one head though so I suppose any more than one is too many

I have a Shoei JCruise, and my 2nd helmet - a Schuberth M1, should be arriving any day...

I'm still at 0.

Cool, though falling of your 50cc scoot will still mash your noggin up pretty good. But as Fernando Lamas said I suppose.....

Just one for me, Shoei Neotec.

I have 3. Ruby,Hedon and my Diesel (AGV). The Hedon has real copper snaps and Hedon Logo plate. It's a wild looking Helmet. Inside is soft calfskin. The Diesel i use most of the time. One can never have two many helmets. Also i love the Hedon's box. Will get a pic of it later.

3. Two full in case I want to loan one out and use the intercom between them and one half for traveling.

Those are awesome! Also love the Aviator helmet but I'm a sucker for them

Currently I have one helmet. A Scorpion EXO 1100. It's 6 years old and I will replace soon. I like the idea of having a second. I should have bought one about 2.5 years in on my current so I had a broken in replacement. Now I will have to go through the discomfort of breaking one in.

Currently have 3. All 1/2s. 2 are Bell Pit Bosses one white one black. The third came with an LX I purchased second hand years ago. Not sure of brand. I've been thinking about getting something with more protection but the selection is endless & confusing. I also want to get a Sena and be able to transfer to different helmets.

That first pic is GQ quality, I'll give you that, very manly. The buffalo/bison in the background are a nice touch Put that pic in your favourites folder even though it isn't the GTV!

Kennecott copper mine Utah. The largest man made excavation in the world. 😩 well, we need copper. Crazy ride up there! Great views.
The bison shot is on Antelope Island in The Great Salt Lake. Our Two Bit Scooter Club has an annual ride there.

A Shoei that I'm doing my best to wear out so I can switch full time to my new Arai. Both full faced race helmets. I like the safest head protection available.
Also, almost always wear a Helite air vest. It's heavy and bright and feel safer knowing it will blow up like the Michelin Man if I get off the scoot'.

Don't forget, y'all, when you are done with a helmet offer it to your local Emergency Management group. They might need one for training porpoises.

A much better idea than what I was going to do...

Do you know how they use them?

I had five but have narrowed it to two. My Nolan N44 and N21. The N21 is my daily short distance runner and the N44 is for my highway riding and longer distances. Both are excellent, Italian and meet my needs for all riding.

I have 3, HJC CL Max, HJC RPHA-Max and my newest Schuberth C3 Pro, all modulars. The issue I have in alternating wearing them, is they all function differently, lifting shield, operating sun visor, locating air vents, D-rings or buckle straps.

IF you get the right helmet, there is no break in. My Arai fits my head like a custom made glove.

I have one, I don't have space to keep more than one and more importantly they are expensive so doubt i would buy more than one at a time. I air it out and every few weeks Ill wash the inner padding it is detachable.

I have two lids - three if you count the new one still in the box in the passage cupboard. (I buy my own Burbday presents!)

I wear an open face with the Vespa and a full face with the GS's.
I air them out over the bike mirrors and every week I dust them with a teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to keep them fresh as a daisy.

I use the 5-year rule and replace my lids every 5th birthday.

I have two, but I am eyeing this one for summer '18!

Nolan N21, plain white
Nolan N21 Visor, also plain white
Schuberth M1 with the OEM comms unit (it's white too)
Old HJC IS-MAX with improvised comms unit (three guesses; first two don't count)
Ancient Scuberth Concept modular (surprise! It's grey.)

Many others I haven't gotten around to discarding.
