Hi all

Does anyone know of these helmets sold in Australia. I like the look and the design features and the PRICE!!! If not, assuming they pass our saftey standards might be worth importing em. The old shoei that i gave to a mate whilst I'm bikeless has seen a few too many acidents (from my mate)

Yeah they do not look anything special to me. Most of the brands (expensive and cheap) have some good looking models, the only real stand out to me is the Stormtrooper lookin' Simpson lids. But look at the price.

Well a mate of mine is crew chief on a Sprintcar (drives it at practice nights sometimes too the lucky sod), and he has one. It's a race model though, with tear-offs and such, and apparently the things can cost up to $3(fucking)K!!!!!!

Neka, try the dirt racing store next to Bills (North). I think they sell them.

They aren't as expensive as you might think.
