Looks like Bell Helmets are available again in Australia, Bikebiz, the Helmet Warehouse and Team Moto have them advertised.

Haha, I had someone ask me the other day if I had heard of Bell helmets. I was more surprised that they hadn't heard of them.

With inflation it will now be....If you've got a $300 dollar head wear a $300 helmet.!!

Look the goods though i 'spose. How old were they Nelso????

They used to be shit. Hopefully have improved.

dont know which ones u talking about..
A bell pro race helmet saved my life in 82 when i put a drag bike down at just shy of 150 mph, major head impact, split in nearly in half, smashed a 2 lnch piece out of the chin guard, when they got to me, they told me later that i was bleeding from the mouth, nose, and ears, 4 days in a coma, and to this day, dont remember the crash, but im still alive, tho it did take many years to recover... the doctor even said, it was the helmet that saved my life. best helmst money could back then

Bell were the be all and end all of the helmet world in the old days and well before "plastic" lids. Born green is spot on man......

They were a tad younger.

I don't mind the Carbon jobby

At his invitation, I tried Glenn Allerton's Bell on in Queensland at the ASBK Round, I AM getting one as soon as possible....with the Transitions Visor as well . Cant wait, it was a great fit and looked superb. And the Transitions visor is brilliant.

Good enough for Eddie, good enough for this little black duck

at broady the other day, got talking to wayne maxwell, he has the new bell to.

Where are you guys getting the best Bell helmet deals?............

They are all a similar price at the moment i guess being new back to Australia, but they surprisingly aren't more expensive than in the U.S, the Bell Star Carbon is $649 in the States and $699 here.
I have a Bell Star 'Miss Behavin' and it is the most comfortable helmet i have had (have owned a Shoei XR 1100,KBC VR1 and VR2, Suomy Vandal, Shoei XR1000),plush inside,the strap is magnetic click together after the D loop ,which makes it easy with gloves.

That is the whole idea.

You couldnt get it freighted out here for $50 and the aussie $ is still pretty strong.
