Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

Why one wouldn't use a motocross helmets as opposed to full face on street has been banged enough on this thread, and you can get quite a lot of info by going back quite a few pages to know the merits and demerits.

To keep it simple, whether you ride a supermoto or a superbike on a road you are supposed to wear a full face helmet. Not those plastic buckets.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

Mumbai continuous rain and no Sunlight for proper drying my helmet's interior.
The interior got wet about from hairs and both straps full wet.

Now it stinks like wet cloth.

How can I dry it up ?
For stinking there are hell more ways, but if not dried soon, I'm afraid it will lead damage to Foam/ sponge of interior. :/

Hair dryer.

Also, buy a Balaclava. Easier to clean/dry as compared to the helmet.

I was looking for the ff-350 combat version. Unfortunately the dealer didn't have stock & said will take a week. So i choose this one.

Vega was my first when with D135, Then came with the cross cruze with D135 on a very short period. The cross cruze continued with dio & replacing with ls2 one. Was looking for the sol sl-48s. Due to budget dropped it .

Glad to be of help @MR ACE Happy riding!

Re: Helmets

Always full face, motocross helmets provide the same or better protection as full face according to Wikipedia but I tend to disagree

Need to buy a full face helmet around 2000 rupees soon. Any suggestions?

buy a 100 or more watt bulb, a holder and a length of wire as much you need .............. keep your helmet under a support and put the glowing bulb over it while maintaining some clearance ........ let it glow for a day and check the results

that video may serve as an eye-opener to many souls in need

coming to your question ................ with your 2000/- add a further 300/- and buy a LS2 (please ask LS2 owners for the model name) ............ I guess this may be the most legitimate solution available in your budget ................ by the way "why can't I see a location in your avatar !!" .............. if you have a location please share it, as it helps in putting a one-line direction to a shop of your native area

Not sure about opening eyes but I'm sure as hell it opened up the guy's mouth enough to munch on two Big Macs at once, I guess he's enjoying the "buy one, get one free quarter pounder" offer by McDonald's. BTW I live in Jorhat, Assam. I never bothered to update my location, maybe I'll do it this time. I'd be glad if some LS2 owner points out the exact model I should get, I'm really dumb when it comes to helmets.

Jorhat ......... infact I have a good friend from the same place

Anyways, here's a recent post about LS2 Phobia for your perusal http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...tml#post954915

Please note, if you are looking for a no-fake LS2 dealer in your region it is better to consult Mr. Anil Gupta at Laxmi Automobiles - Authorised Distributors for LS2 Products in India .............. at present they are the only AD of LS2 in India
