If the helmet touches the ground it gets replaced - unless my helmet provider says otherwise. Couple hundred for a new helmet or an un imaginable hospital bill - my head has already taken enough hits and I don't need to take any chances. I can say my head is worth more then any helmet.

61 or 61 X - Which will it be??

So what you're saying Scotty is that you replace them after every race...

This is what Benny said to me just before we went out for the first practice down at Daytona for the 200 this year.. Next lap I come by and benny is crawling out from underneath the AirFence.....

But Your right Ben - Sometimes it does seem like it's everytime out on the bike - Depends on how often and how much your riding....

Hey, you needed the draft.  Oh yeah I destroyed a new helmet on that one.

Whenever I change hairstyles.





I'm serious, I went from L to XXL with the dreads. *Still* haven't found a helmet that fits right. :(

I replace mine after 3 years. Never had a problem with my helmet stinking. I replace my street helmet after 3 years also. It sees much more use and sweat than a race helmet (about 600 days and 30,000 miles of use). Never had any problem with it stinking either.

I am not sure I want to know what Alexa does to get her helmet stinky.

3 years is a good limit, but if You drop it replace it.
