If you know where your local St John's ambulance (or equivalent) base is they might want your old lid so they can teach students how to treat casualties with helmets on.

I've been riding since I was 17, many thousands of miles, all over europe and Asia, using ill-fitting hand me down crash hats, and only invested in my first new helmet three months ago, and I'm 48 now.

I thought it was about time to use a little common sense, seeing as I'm a dad now.

Buying a new helmet is way more satisfying than it should be. The quality! The smell! The comfort (if you bought one that fits and ain't just cool, that is )!

Buying mine was a ballache, as I was trying to find one that allowed me to wear my glasses easy enough. No way, I had to straighten the arms on a spare pair to squeeze them in past the tight ear pad thingys.

After a while I finally decided not to wear them, and that was a revelation! You see so much more without that bloody frame and all cluttering up your vision.

I only really need them for reading, but have worn varifocals for several years to save faffing about carrying the reading glasses everywhere.

I have to wear glasses, shortsighted fairly badly. Found my Shoei has tunnels in the padding almost that make the glassed fit really well, still steam up if i breath on em tho.

I did find an open faced that fitted well, and my glasses slipped in easily enough, and riding a Harley it would go well the the sneer and the pot belly, but I just don't feel happy with my face open to the cold, wind, rain, bugs, tarmac etc, so I went for a Givi full face jobbie eventually.
