What Do You Do With An Old Dead Helmet
Now that I have a shiny new (safety yellow) Arai Profile, and Dawnise has a shiny new (red) Arai Quantum, I need to figure out what to do with our old helmets, both of which are past their use-by dates.
I hate the idea of throwing them away, and googling for "recycle motorcycle helmet" reveals nothing useful ("recycle old helmet" is slightly better, but reveals mostly folks bemoaning the fact that they can't find a way to recycle bicycle helmets).
I'm afraid to put them on freecycle or craigslist, 'cause some idiot will think he (or she)'s getting a bargain and expect an old well traveled helmet to provide actual protection, which it won't.
And yea, I know I can't stop stupidity in others, but that doesn't mean I should make it easy for someone to hurt themselves.
Anyone got any brilliant ideas?
