you might be right. i didn't look at it in that way.
to me this this guy sounded like he got into riding as a spur of a moment, went for the typical bike brand to get, and shopped helmets like they were hats, by appearances.
though a riding buddy of mine buys all his bike stuff online, and would literally order 4 helms at a time, try them on and keep the one that fit best and return the rest.
when his last helmet was stolen he did it again, except with 3 helmets. he got caught up with contract projects and missed the return deadline. now he has 3 helmets
I just have 2. open face and a dirt one
