Hey everybody, I'm taking a motorcycle course starting this holiday Monday, but the helmet I had lined up to borrow isn't going to happen. I have no immediate plans to buy a motorcycle after the course, so I'm on the hunt for a helmet to borrow for the next week or so. Does anyone here ride/have a helmet to loan out for a week?

Thanks in advance!

Alternatively if anyone knows if there is anywhere to rent one, that would be much appreciated.

I have one from when I took the course several years ago. However, it's been in the crawl space for almost 5 years now, so it's got a bit of a mildew smell to it. If you don't mind, you're welcome to borrow it.

I've got a lid I'm not using right now but it's only got a tinted visor right now. Size Medium. No bike so no rush in getting it back.

My wife is out of town for a week, so mine is going unused.
In Lower Sackville if you can come get it you can borrow it.

What are the details on the course.

Price, duration, requirements etc.

I'm looking at getting a scooter for commuting and errands.

Motorcycle course, one evening, plus 2 full days (8-5) of practical including exam. Need licence, helmet, shoes cover ankles, durable jacket, leather gloves (mine are winter gloves). Cost $485. They offer a different course for scooters, might be cheaper (though the endorsement on your licence is the same, so you could take either course and be legal to drive either one - just wouldn't get the right experience if you take the wrong course.) The Course I'm taking is put on by "safety services nova Scotia".

I took it last year. If you'd rather you can do the course during the evening. It was 3 nights a week for two weeks (6 evenings) I think, but the classroom night remains the same.
