Very noice!


I had a Arai RX-7 Sete Girbernau, but had to get rid of it cause the manufacture date was already at 5 years.

I miss this shit

That applies to helmets that have been in constant use. . Now you find one that's been in the box / closeout, there's nothing wrong with them. The flip side is one that's new, the wearer took it off and dropped it on the ground a time or two.

Looks to me like you found the limit.

Never did find it

.... but not having the needed track time on the off season is what drove me to not race anymore.

Shelf life.
The MRA (Motorcycle Racing Association) didn't allow racers to have helmets on the track that were 5 years old or older.. whether or not it looked new or not... liability reasons maybe?
I was rocking helmets on the track that were at the 5 year mark... the helmet I cracked was at it's 5 year mark.. and it held up well. I did knock off a few bolts upstairs, but the helmet did help keep most of it together
