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.

Well I haven't seen the helmet, that's kinda impossible. But when I worked for a speed shop I did see both a fake Simpson and a fake bell helmet. Not hard to spot if you have a known real one to compare it to. As for the used part, I'd never buy any safety gear used.

Exactly, You have no idea of what I bought and yet you feel the need to slander me. You are welcome to express your opinions but you have no right to tell me I am wrong for finding a good deal.
I bought a RCI jacket on ebay also, $15. Do you have a problem with that as well?.

Btw it's "you're", not "your". Now whose IQ is showing?
