Spotted these in Mumbai...

Bear in Mind there are roughly 80 Rupees to the pound making them about 8 Quid!!

Yeah, but if you ordered one, how long would it take to be delivered

I should add there is a drive to get people to wear Lids at all at the Mo.

Made of nylon? really?

I spend a lot of time in india and I've clocked the price of helmets there as well. Knowing India, there probably is a minimum requirement legislation which is probably just as high as ours. On the other hand, knowing India, this will be largely ignored and people will sell what they want and bribe officials when necessary.

Still, it's better than driving without a helmet, which they still do there en masse. You often see mum dad and two kids on a scooter, with her sitting side-saddle on the back holding the baby with her saree billowing in and out of the spokes.

As for using one over here I'd be thinking very carefully.

anyone got a working phone number for the manufacturer?

Mr Whippy - 19/3/08 at 01:20 PM

yes I can see they are high quality

do you get a spare head with them?

it's scary that there are people actually riding around with those on, no wonder so many folk are killed on bikes.

I spotted it straight away, sharper than a bullet me.

And for some it is no joke but a sad reflection on their experiences with a certain kit car manufacturer/parts supplier.

I was scan-reading for someone quoting me
Your subtlety deserves extra special praise
