I've got 3 helmets....I only wear 1. Another is a back up...and 1 is a crashed in lid that I won't wear.

I have 3 jackets. A mesh, a textile, and a leather for my 2 piece.

2 pants. The leathers and textiles for commuting.

2 pair of gloves.

1 back protector.

1 pair of boots.

Street:
3 Helmets
-1 needs replacing because it no longer fits (but it fits my Mini-Me so it's still usable)
-1 crashed and retired
-1 helmet for my son
3 Jackets
-1 textile that's way too big now, usable because it's a men's and my son can wear it
-1 mesh that's been crashed tested and still usable
-1 leather
2 Pairs of gloves
-1 summer pair, retired and looking for another pair (still good enough for Mini-Me to use)
-1 Leather
2 Pairs of boots
-both worn and need replacing, however still usuable (Mini-Me keeps stealing a pair to wear to school because she thinks they're "cool")

Dirt: (although I haven't ridden dirt in over a year)
2 - Helmets
2-Shirts
2-Pants
1-chest protector
1-Pair of boots
1-Pair gloves
1 Pair of eye protectors

Plus there's various other "gear" like a couple of balaclavas, several pairs of thermal socks, winter under armor as well as other thermal wear I only wear when riding the bike in the winter. I also have a couple of head wraps to wear in the summer to keep the sweat out of my eyes.

I need more gear.....

I want to be a gear whore but I have too many other expensive hobbies. Dropping another couple hundred on a second shoei is money that could go to buying me a new Sea Sniper speargun. Or an exhaust for the KTM. Or a steel hp125. But between parts, accessories, track stuff and dive gear I could probably fill a single car garage.

I have most of our helmets hanging on shelves in our living room - we used two of them as our "guest books" at our wedding.

I've sold most of what I don't use anymore - and kept all the left-over suits. I think we're now at six full suits...

I have eight helmets, one of which I relegate the use for the various chicks that wanted to go for a ride (if they're hot enough). It's nice having a few helmets that you can rotate out in order to keep the funk down. Not to mention they gotta match my leathers.
