I feel that is an unfair comparison. If the same helmet costs $189 at one location or $29 at another, which one would YOU pick.

You are just being argumentative.

I had an M2000 full face on when I had my accident. Wish I had an SA that hangs down a little further. Might not have a jaw full of titanium plates and screws. BTW I have the helmet still and you wouldnt know it was in an accident if I didnt tell you.

Now you're being obtuse. The same helmet that is $189 is NOT available for $29 at another location.

As was your comparison of a Mercedes to a Smart Car.

I'm done with this.....

Actually the helmet was $10.50, I included the shipping to come up with the total. The SFI sticker is the same on mine as a $189 helmet though and if it's good enough for a 150mph crash on a street bike it's good enough for me.
I guess I'm a dumbass for buying a 189 dollar helmet for 10 bucks.

Ken, I in no way want to diminish your accident. I hope we have all learned from your experience. I take a closer look at the retention device on the master cylinder rods in my cars now, Your accident is the reason I bought full face helmets this year.

Kiss my butt Chad.

There's a reason you got it for $10........

i've bought a few motorcycle helmets and 1 brand actually had a sheet of paper that said they were only good for 5 years...
only time i ever seen that....
yes, i know there's a difference in how m/c and car helmets are tested...

Are you trying to say a name brand helmet with a current SFI tag is unsafe because I got a great deal on it Chad? Now your showing your I.Q.

Counterfeit ? Used? Already been in a crash?
