Please allow me to clarify.
I race motocross. We do dangerous stuff, at high rates of speed. Comparatively, we wear precious little gear.
I get the impression that many of the people you see wearing the newest, best gear are doing so for the wrong reasons, for the image.
I know people like this.
I don't plan to wipe out, and think the odds are in my favour.
I am not suggesting gear is for suckers. If you feel more comfortable with it, then by all means, wear it. I see people riding with full gear, and people in shorts and T shirts. For me, something in the middle makes sense.
I didn't what realize the original question was, as the thread seems to have mutated a bit.
If it were me, I'd toss that 15yr old helmet in the garbage, and buy a new one with the $100.
