Helmets - Where To Go?

[SS8_Gohan]

boys'n'girls, i need a helmet, for me noggin' for DECA and other such related activities

where should i be heading to get one? I have heard it's good to check out the bike shops on Elizabeth st?

how much am i looking at forking out for one that's going to meet the standards i need it to?

Anyone sell Stig helmets?

Bike shops are good also checkout some motorsport stores. I bought mine from GMP racing in oakleigh. Cost $160 for a full faced helmet in plain black. Open faced helmets start at around $90. So I would say those are the minimum prices you would pay for an australian standards helmet.

Make sure when you are trying on the helmets, wear them for a few minutes just so you can get used to the weight of the helmet. Some of the cheaper ones can be quite heavy.

If your anywhere near Ringwood go see my brother. He works the store / retail at A1 in Ringwood.

Ask for Thomo and tell him your SAU and coming up to DECA, he'll look after you as much as he can with the price too.

just checked the site, man, motorbike helmets look so much cooler

i live in sandy,meaning brighton is really close to me, i guess mentioning SAU at brighton isn't going to get the same effect? anyone at brighton i could speak to?

Elizabeth st or ebay

search RXT, they have open and full face helmets at good prices and with some not bad designs etc if you're into that....

Stig helmet will cost you $1k+

Nah what I said will only apply to Ringwood store. Just go to any bike shop and they will be able to fit you up. Just thought if you were close to Ringworm I could get you a better price.

Ebay might be the way to go, but probably too late to be ordering off ebay, as you don't want it to arrive on monday next week, and miss out.

Yeah go ahead. He'll look after you. I don't mind any Vic club members doing that.

$800 for a helmut is a bit expensive if your only doing a few DECA's a year

It would be different if you were doing track days with 15+mins each sitting... thats where a good decent helmut comes into play with weights and construction without a doubt. If i was tracking... i would be getting a nice light one

Some of us have carbon fetishes though....
