So most forums (this one included) don't let you advertise old helmets for sale, which is very sensible because you don't know if they've been dropped or treated properly.
But..what do you do with old helmets? I have 2 I want rid of to make room for baby stuff - one has only been worn a handful of times so seems a shame to just stick it in the wheelie bin.
Is there anywhere you can recycle them or donate them for something?
What size are they, etc.
You can do one of two things :
Donate them to local fire station to practice with
or
There is a company in Salisbury called MPH that sells second hand biker goods. Just started up but they look good. I can give you their details if you want
The fire station sounds like a good plan, would be happy to have them used for something useful! They're quite small sizes I think, they're at the back of a cupboard in boxes at the mo so will dig them out over Christmas
Friends or family? I for one wouldn't have a problem with a helmet if the person was trust worthy enough to say it hadn't been dropped. What are they? My helmet is knackered, think I'm a 'small'.
Not sure if Firemen want them anymore, I had one a few months ago I couldn't give away, local fire station said no too. Ended up just binning it.
One's an AGV which is probably past it's sell by date - it's at least 10 years old and has seen a lot of use. The other is a Takatchi flip-front in grey which, other than a tiny scratch on the top where I scraped it on the garage wall, has only been worn about 5 times max. I'll dig it out at the weekend if you like Dan.Originally Posted by Dan
The AGV is probably fit for the bin to be fair..it had a hard life
Helmet sprayers like to use them for practicing on
Good idea!
No good to me - cheers anyway mate
