Optima: Get a new helmet. BTW, if you want to replace your RF-1000 w/a RF-1000, they are on clearance many places due to the new RF-1100 being the new model. CycleGear, as many other sources still have the RF-1000 on clearance.
Goloth: Scorpion "same or better" than Arai/Shoei??? Simply NOT so. That being said, Scorpions are good helmets but not on the same tier/level as Arai & Shoei.
and you don't need a 500 dollar helmet, the 'Scorpion' brand of helmets are usually Snell tested as well as DOT approved, same quality as Arai and Shoei if not better, personally I really want to get a simpson, if I had that kind of cash to throw up for one, but on a budget, go with scorpion, same protection, you won't be bargaining on your brains, but it'll be cheaper.

If both helmets meet SNELL 2010 certification, for example, the manufacturer simply cannot prove their helmet will protect better than the other.

def buy a new helmet, but in a pinch a scratched helmet is better than no helmet.and by the way, there are the most killer lids out there for real good prices and they use the same materials that go into a high dollar one.peece
