When I first bought my helmet, I was on a budget ($300). When it expires, my next helmet will be a Shoei or an Arai.

How many pregnancies has it stopped? A hand crafted helmet? Hmmmm...

silvergray545 and shoei and jtodd_fl..... Fuq'rs!!!

I partially paid for my Lasik with employer stock options (1/2), and the remainder with my FSA.

I had the procedure the first week of January. I also had an annual health care plan that ran on a calendar year.

I was able to fully fund the FSA for the expense and pay this back over the 12 month year - interest free.

In the middle of the year - I left this particular company (Large Regional Bank) for another bank.

I had already advanced 100% of the FSA funds to pay for the procedure - but I had only paid back 1/2 of the money when I left....basically, the company wrote 100% of the remaining amount off against all the unclaimed/unused FSA funds.

Lesson here - sometimes it is better to be lucky than good

You lucky bastard!

That's awesome. Glad to hear it lasts long term. I was also worried that I was too young to get it done. Or I would need to go back for adjustments.

Parachutes

I think crash helmets and lasik also qualify. And vasectomies.

I had a former coworker get a bargain vasectomy. Yes. For real. He ended sitting up with his legs open as he iced-down his grapefruit sized...attachments. Seriously.

Arai I'm positive has similar testing and QC... I unfortunately don't fit into an Arai... Nolan, Bell are a couple of other fantastic brands... I've gone down twice in a Shoei and obviously still here... Helmet does get retired after a crash... You can send to shoei where they will test the helmet to ensure the honeycomb is still intact, but I'd rather not take the chance... Even a drop off a table is enough to shatter the honeycomb inside and you'd never know it...

Worried about you... Not sure if your account has been hacked or you gave up masturbation for Lent or something...

I think I will stop now. I just found out my printer is out color ink and the laminator needs film.
