How many helmets do you own?

How many helmets do you own and why? I am thinking about getting a third helmet and would like a reality check for owning three helmets.
 
I have bought 8 helmets since 1970. I still have all but one of them. My first helmet (a stars & stripes) was stolen from my bike in high school.
 
Mine,wife's, kid's, other kid's, stepson's, and an old one that saved my grey matter 7 years ago. Gave away or trashed my older ones.
 
My BMW System 1, System 2, System 3, System 4, and System 5 are all retired. Currently riding wearing System 6. I've never alternated between multiple helmets at the same time. Just one at a time.
 
2, but only one that I use. Total in the house is like 8, but that includes all family members helmets.

I only use a single HJC CL15. It's due for replacement next season.
 
I have way too many obsolete helmets hanging around. One of these days I'm going to use them for target practice! :p
 
Bell Moto III 1979 vintage with old race stickers!
Shoei RF900
Shoei RF1100
All the others are gone :cry
 
Most of these are his and her pairs:

2 Schuberth Concepts (retired)
2 C2's, used occasionally
2 C3's used almost daily
2 Nolan N102's (retired)
2 Caberg Justissmo's (retired)
Shoei TZ-1 (my first helmet, not a modular, will use if needed)
Modular Shoei (unknown model, not currently used, its the spouses)
Fox dirt bike helmet, with a girly design, only used when I'm playing in the dirt
 
I currently have 4 in the house.
One is a pink paisley Speed and Strength. It belongs to the wifey.
I have a Nolan N-104 i wear dailey.
I have a Bell Arrow I wear if the 104 Ncom is charging.
I have a Fox dirtbike helmet that is used in the dirt or when on the 4 wheeler.
 
My BMW System 1, System 2, System 3, System 4, and System 5 are all retired. Currently riding wearing System 6. I've never alternated between multiple helmets at the same time. Just one at a time.

Where and how do you obtain them?
 
Four motorcycle helmets - two in current use, one bycycle helmet, one ski helmet, four retired firefighting helmets (plus two that I still use that are actually owned by my employer). :D

21 that I still have. Why I don't know. Lined up in my hanger and home. Good for reminising those past rides I would guess.

Five lined up on the garage shelf: my current helmet, the damaged Shoei that saved my life last year (to remind me that I'm not invincible anymore), two older helmets that don't match my current bike, but I keep them as spares or loaners, and one failed experiment with a cheap modular that won't stay open.
