New Helmet

Postby 98ninja » Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:05 am

I bought my last AGV in 2007 so I guess its getting a little bit old right now.
Im currently living in Inverell and I want to buy a new helmet, but the shops here dont stock
many helmets. Does anyone know the closest place to here where I could go shop and get a wide
selection to choose from? I dont want to order online and get a helmet that doesnt fit me.

Surely if you go and see Vince Strang he could order one in. If you know the size you could go through the catalogue.
They should be able to return it if it is not what you are looking for. It is at least worth talking to them.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

I see where youre coming from with buying locally, but I have 8 days off work and I salary sacrificed a car so driving a long way
isnt an issue.
Say I go in and order an AGV and the current AGV's dont fit. Order it, wait a few days, it doesnt fit, send it back, order something else, wait a few days
and it doesnt fit..........
or go for a drive and get what I want in one day....

SE QLD....if driving isn't a problem. Come up via Warwick/Ipswich. My local dealer in Ipswich(Top Gun Motorcycles) has a good selection. From there you can even go down the Ipswich Motorway to Morooka(Oliver's/Pro Honda/Team Moto).

I wouldn't buy a helmet online, I have 3 Shark helmets, 2 of them are L and 1 is XL if I'd bought the XL one online (Evoline 3) based on my previous 2 purchases it would have been too small :oops:

AGV have changed their shell also. I used to fit AGV's but I don't anymore

Im heading to Narangba via Ipswich.
Top Gun Yamaha at Ipswich has AGV, Arai, Shoei, HJC and M2r in stock.
Then im picking up some (what seems like) good condition zxr400sp fairings for the less than the price it would have cost me to
sand, prime and paint my old fairings.
