Ref "ten dollar head...ten dollar helmet"...
Many years ago -- 1974, to be exact -- I had a rear tire blowout and dumped my CB750 on a Florida turnpike. While still in the air, and flying through my handlebars, the thought that actually went through my head was "I wish I had paid more than $10 for this helmet..." I had actually bought three helmets at $10 each during a clearance sale at S&K cycle, a Long Island cycle shop.
