cheap helmet tip

[Volvi]

Ive got this helmet in Bling Black which goes for US$129 but this blue or maroon or yellow rubatone is now $99.99. They are great helmets and the rubatone paint is a MATT color.

Only trick is you cant order from oz. It has to be an order from the states to a usa address using usa cards. bit complex but if you have someone there to order for you its a great price for a good looking helmet. of course no oz sticker on the back. freight from the states to oz is around US$50 with ins. and express.

they have plenty other specials on closeout and if you get helmet consider getting the tinted visors to suit helmet, I have gold.

Only a $99 head would wear a $99 helmet Volvi

get caught wearing that helmet with out the Australian standards sticket on it will get you a fine and loss of points.

rev, if you were to get a $500 helmet for a bargain at $99 does that mean you would decline to buy it coz its only a $99 helmet? I'll admit it aint no $1200 as my main lid, but that icon is plenty lid too.

2k, I hear ya what amazes me are the blatant ones ie those barely covering little 'hitler' types you see some wear.

Yes, Rod. The law does not say it has to meet the standard, it says that it must have a sticker on it saying it meets the standard....

It would have to be a cop who a) bothers to check (and let's face it, they really need to be going over with a fine tooth comb if they are checking that) and b) is an arsehole if he does you cause of the lack of sticker when it is obviously a compliant helmet.

But technically....






... and some cops rely on "but technically"

I have a old Shoei Helmut Volvi. I can take the sticker off if you like and you can put it on your new helmut. I was going to toss the Shoei anyway...

[2k busa rider]

there is no way you will get the sticker off with out destroying it trust me I know I been down that path .
Rod check your mail there is an easy way around this but I'm not going to post it here.

Volvi,
You are correct as I went to the states last year with work and picked up a cheap helmet. It has not been released here yet and was $200 AUST, The models down from it here retail at around $450. Helmets are cheaper over there because they dont have a US standard, they use SNELL and DOT which exceeds the AUST standard anyway. The only standard that exceeds snell and dot is the Shoei helmets.

I was told that I can obtain an aust standard sticker but it will cost a couple off hundred so that is why alot of people are importing them.
