    Also remember Helmets expire after 5 to 8 years, and if yours is expired, it’s almost worthless in a crash

      An older helmet is WAY better than no helmet. I would take a 20 year old full face helmet over a brand new half helmet in a crash. I like my face.

    In my experiences, the helmet is the least needed piece of gear. By that I mean, definitely also wear armoured jacket, pants, gloves, and boots. With all that and a helmet, you’ll only need to worry about breaking bones, which is nothing in comparison to the other outcomes. Neglect the other gear and you’ll wish you didn’t wear a helmet.

    Edit: Hm, apparently a lot of.Lemmingtons need to wear helmets off the bike too, or make it past the first line of a comment before reacting, or there’s a lot of squids here.
