Five-year helmet lifespan?

[53driver]

I've got a lot of people that love me and depend on me. Ditto on that $700 Shoei. My grandkids need me.

+2 on the Shoei.

I have cheaped out on helmets all my life and used the old things till they looked like crap. Just recently have been thinking about investing in a good helmet. Will likely make it last more than five years. As long as it doesn't receive any bad knocks I would use it indifinietly.

In my world, helmet=compliance. Period. And I'm rolling with a $25 helmet Steve 0080 sold me at the auction for the rally.

And about five hours from now, I'll be at the GA/FL line, shedding my helmet.
