How many helmets do you own?

Currently in inventory
For bike
Nolan 103 - noisy POS with a nice latch
Shoei Neotec - replacing above
Shoei RF 1000- 2, my preferred full face for bikes

Bike helmets equipped with Scala bluetooth sets...

Other
4 helmets for track use in cars, with and without vent hookups, plus a 3/4 helmet. Mostly Bell with an HJC.
 
I tried on a System 6 a few weeks ago, and quite like it, but I'm intrigued by the new HJC RPHA Max.

Anyone have this?
 
I only have 1 helmet in use which is an Arai Vector. I have all my previous helmets except the Arai that backed into with my truck. I was so pissed, I had to throw it away to keep from looking at a reminder of a stupid moment. Doh!

No longer in use.
- Harley Modular
- Harley half
 
Two active: Schuberth C3 and a Shoei RF1100 that I use for dusty dirty rides

I have 4 or 5 inactive helmets around.
 
3 for me

Arai Corsair - touring with Sena BT
Scorpion EXO-1100 - my solo riding helmet
Icon Variant - dual sport
 
4 currently

1 - Canadian Tire Ranger Snowmobile with a liner that falls out

1 - CKX Modular (Now converted with double shield and breath guard to replace CTC snowmobile)

1 - Shuberth C3 which is my favorite for trips

1 - Chinese no name brand modular I got off flea bay for $10. Use it daily but plan to replace in the spring.
 
Two, a silver Nolan N100E, that was a birthday present from my wife back in 2007, and a white Schuberth C3 that I got right after the first of this year. The Nolan is very nice for an inexpensive helmet.
 
I am impressed with the replies. It seems that almost everyone has a primary and a back up helmet. Beyond that, the helmets take on specific functions, or are left over from rides gone by.

The answer to my own question is two:
1) a black Shoei RF 1100, that fits well, vents well and is set up with a helmet camera mount. It matches the paint on both by bikes: '74 R90/6 and '01 R1150GS.
2) My newer helmet is a light silver Nolan N104 that I bought in Sedalia this past summer. It matches the aluminum on my bikes. I like the full face feature and low noise level.
 
I currently have 5 in the house. 2 are my wife's the other three are mine. I did just orde r a kbc ff from Motorcycle Superstore that should be here Monday. At 79.99 i couldn t resist. Helmets are kinda of like guitars for me. If my wife found out how many i had it any given moment there would be hell to pay.
 
Helmet Count

I have way too many obsolete helmets hanging around. One of these days I'm going to use them for target practice! :p

Here in the midwest, we store the old helmets in the basement for use when the tornado sirens come on. :nod
