You must like this helmet a lot to be using it for so long. It has a hard shell. From what I have been told, the Styrofoam will get harder over time and that is the part that should yield when hit. If it is hard it may not absorb the impact the way it once was supposed to. It may be time for a new helmet. I like some of the new helmets will break down one of these days and get a new one myself.
It will definitely identify you as a long time rider. It will also identify you with not updating to newer stuff. Besides wearing an old helmet must be better than no helmet.
