Random thought

[Fulkon]

I have a Scorpion EXO 400 helmet that has suffered a pretty nasty fall off my bike onto asphalt. (yeah sucks huh?) So I have a new Seven Zero Seven Backlash helmet. Anyways heres the random thought I had...instead of throwing away an intact helmet that doesn't meet safety standards what are some ways of reusing or recycling it?

you could plant flowers in it?

A hanging planter? Put some flowers in it?

A planter? eh, my wife said cut it in half and hang it like a picture.

Flower pot
Turn it into a lamp... (cut hole it top and mount stem + light. Helmet is the base)
Turn it into a computer.. mini-itx.com - projects - itxhelmet
Use it as target practice
Wear it around when doing anything... Mowing lawn, driving car, weed whacking, etc.
Birdhouse
Use it for a Halloween costume
I like the cut it in half and mount on wall idea.

Lots of possibilities...

I like the wall art idea, but cut it into quarters or something

Make a life-size Pez dispenser. All you should need is to fabricate a box or tube, spring, a pad, and a pez-like mechanism to active it hen you tilt up the helmet or visor. Stock it with beer cans. How badass would that be?

A stylish seat for your "guests" perhaps?

I really like that idea! Should have thought about that before I have tossed mine. But I could get a new one - my wife would definitely love that as a little surprise. She is all about flowers delivered cheap and planting flowers so using it as a planter sound particularly amazing to me.

Ive a friend who turned his into a mail box,he wrote mail across the visor, he put it a bit of the way up a post (about 3 foot) and then at the top of the post (which was about 10 foot long) he put his old mail box and wrote bills on it.

You could use it to rob a party store, that way when you are wearing your new helmet the cops won't recognize you.

my uncle has his old helmets on a shelf in his garage as trophies

Cut it and shape it like an open face helmet, get a fake DOT sticker and sell it on eBay.
Some cruiser dimwit will buy it.

Lol I forgot all about this post, I found out what to do with my helmet though. I sold it to a coworker who was going to use it while bass fishing in the winter. Doesn't need the protection he just wanted to stay warmer and keep the moisture off his head.

Im a fan of range therapy I love to see what different rounds do to stuff, old helmets blow up quite nicely
