Head's UP - April is "Check Your Helmet Month"

Posted by Jason, who lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota on Apr 1st 2021

I'm not sure you are on Harley's email list. If you are not, a reminder just went out regarding your helmet. Harley has evidently designated April as the month to check you helmet. The timing seems right because many of us are just now starting to ride. The email is a reminder to check your helmet. The following paragraph is quoted for your information.

"With proper care, the lifespan of an H D® helmet is 3 5 years—but there are other factors to consider. Over time, your helmet’s foam layer hardens and loses its ability to absorb shock, and any dents on the shell or fraying of the straps means it’s time for a replacement."

The email ends with the following: "H-D® Helmets: The smartest decision you'll ever make."

So, if you helmet is old, or if you have dropped it and the shell is cracked, don't chance it. Replace it.

Happy miles to you!
