and no this isn't one for my GP!
Something that's been playing on my mind for a while now and perhaps I need to do something about it. I've got a Shoei and the manufacturing date is 2003. I've since found the purchase receipt which I done online in 2008. Time does fly by and the lid doesn't seem that old and is in great condition.
So my question is this, what is the typical life of a helmet before replacement and what is that based on, usage, type of exposure etc. should I be looking to get a new one?
If it's the case I need a new one I'll be making sure the manufacturing date is recent as I'm a little disappointed that I was supplied a helmet that was already 5 years old.
