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

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.





Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. Contents may settle during shipment. Use only as directed. No other warranty expressed or implied. Do not use while operating a motor vehicle or heavy equipment. Subject to approval, terms and conditions apply. Apply only to affected area. For recreational use only. All models over 18 years of age. No user-serviceable parts inside. Subject to change. As seen on TV. One size fits all. May contain nuts. Slippery when wet. For office use only. Edited for television. Keep cool; process promptly.

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.
