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.

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?

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...

1 helmet, 3 jackets (incl 'Stitch), 4pr boots.

now gloves on the other hand:
original buell vortex gloves (2 pair, one black, crashed, one black perfect)
Buell carbon fiber gloves (1pr black old & faded, 1pr black new)
2nd gen Buell CF gloves 1 pair (red)
Buell fleece gloves
Harley Torque gloves (fingerless, gel palms)
Harley Torque gloves (full finger, gel)
Harley fake leather gloves (fingerless)
Widder electric
generic winter gloves
First gear Carbon Cold front (waterproof, spring/fall race gloves)
BMW silk glove liners
Polaris jetski gloves

I'm know I'm leaving a couple pair out.

I always give away my old helmet to a good cause when I upgrade (my bro is wearing my old Shoei X9 on his Softail this winter)

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: D

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.

I have a six pack of Coor's light and a six pack of Amber Bock in the refrigerator. Oh and I have only two helmets.
