What to do with the old helmet?

[XmisterIS]

I have just got a new helmet because I bonked the old one. It seems a shame to just chuck the old one out; I wonder if there are any places that take them in, take them to bits and re-cycle whatever can be re-cycled. Or do I just chuck it in the bin?

Skip!!

We used to see how tough old lids were by crushing em in the jaws of the tyre fitting machine. Some lids defeated the machine altogether. It was excellent fun.....

The shops cut the chin strap before disposal to make sure no-one can reuse them.

Cut the strap off and throw it away

I'm going to saw it in half to see what it's insides look like ...

Please rate some helmets or brands for us then...

offer it to your local fire station/emergency services for practise purposes same as with all leathers and such like that are no longer any use.......

Still on my first one, but my intention is to save all the helmets I ever own... Already have a shelving unit the perfect size for them all!!

Contact your local riding schools - they may want it to cut through to show new riders what the helmet is made of, and how it reacts to a bump.

Save's throwing it away.

How romantic!

I currently have an Arai RX-7RR, Corsair, Shoei Multitec, Suomy Gunwind for off duty and an Arai SV, Shoei Syncrotec, Multitec for work and HJC Sy-Max for voluntary stuff I do.

Korbs, I emphasise 'currently' - imagine how many I've had over the past 30 years!

Use the shelf for models of all the bikes you (will) own!!
