Had a fairly big crash yesterday, which has resulted in stitches and broken bones... should I take it as read that my helmet is done & buy another?

It's a bell super 2r too, so could I reuse the chin guard?

Yes you should bin it. I use the chop saw on mine old helmets so no one fishes them out the bin.

Bell do a crash replacement policy. See here: [url= http://www.zyro.co.uk/bell/content/bellreplacement ]link[/url]

If you EVER find yourself asking that question, the answer is always yes.

It's done it's job, you're still alive. Your life is worth more that the £100 for another lid.

I suppose you're right there, and it did an excellent job of protecting me...

Crash replacement cost for a Stoker: £32.50!

I bought mine from Halfords for £17! 🙂

Get Well Soon.
