[HELP PLEASE] Buying a Helmet

[Oosh]

Okay, i have some spare rims now, next thing on the Drift checklist is a helmet.

I just want something that's gonna do the job and not cost the earth.

Suggestions on what and, primarily, where to buy would be MUCH appreciated.

P.S. Forgive me if this has been discussed before but a quick search didn't turn up much of relevance.

Hey Ash, i bought mine a couple of years ago at peter stevens yamaha, its a Shoei RF-R that i paid about $400 for & does the job good. As long as it has that Australain standards sticker on the side, they'll let you use it at a drift comp.

Keith at Total Motorcycles...come off bridge rd onto research rd, then its the first right hand turn. Then go to the end of the cul de sac, and its in the gates on the right hand side.

he sells motorbike stuff, but has a few good cheap (new) helmets there. He doesnt charge like a cut pig as well.....

I think I'd rather a new one cause I'll keep it for a while and know i have a good fit, but that WWI item is certainly tempting

Thanks for the otehr suggestions guys, I'll look in to it.

Oh yer, buy one that is tight! The foam inside goes loose after a while, so if you dont buy one with a snug (tight!) fit to start it will end up too sloppy on your head down the track...

My motorbike helmet was over 1000 dollars. It's a Shoei though.
