I have since thrown them away, but I used to keep two helmets on my "riding gear" shelf. One was an old Bell Star II, the other a newer Arai. Both full faced. Both missing a good chunk of the forehead and the chin.
The Bell earned its stripes on the way to work one morning way back in 1980. A Toyota pickup merged into me on the freeway and knocked the front wheel on my Sportster (the one I still have) out from under me with its rear step bumper. The Arai earned its in 2013 when my wife and I were knocked from our Road King in a head-on with an F250.
I used to show them to some of my Harley riding friends. I've since given up. ATGATT... has save me twice, my wife once. I wish people would listen...
