Your local motorbike shop can sell you a lid for under 100 bucks that meets the standards.

The one across from Ney Rd?

For something like time attack, would a more expensive (therefore better?), be more suited?

Definitely but these cheap helmets do meet the safety standard so they arent all bad.

Thanks for replies every one.Ill check one out next week.Im glad you can get one that cheap, i thought i was going to be up for about $400

depends on how much you think your heads worth i guess?

but under $100 will get you enough to go racing at willowbank

if like me you used it weekly you would invest in a more comfortable lid with a higher safety standard...

but otherwise, why spend money on something to collect dust if only used in a car once a year...

Yep,spot on, i doubt i'll use it more than 6 times a year so i am a bit reluctant to spend too much

its not like you need it, your not gonna crash right...

like roll cages are for people planning to roll?

just jokes... bunch of open faced units on ebay for $60 at the moment with the Aussie standards sticker...

probably made from ice cream tubs but if it has the sticker than it will pass...

Your head is the one place where it is worth spending the coin.

even if you use it once a year, not all helmets are created equal.
