Helmets

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

Just wanted to add : "Few drops of sweat is way better that few bottles of blood"

I second this thought. Always stick with a full face helmet no matter how much you sweat.And me i always wear the monkey cap (one one used in winters) under the helmet while riding a bike in order to avoid dust. no matter what season it is. This is to avoid the dust since i do not have a balaclava. But now will have to get one.Even if i want to ride without the monkey cap i cannot do it now because after riding in this fashion for more than 3 yrs the padding have resized themselves. I will also be getting a new helmet. how to check for helmet size if i want to order online.

yup, i remember a guy who used to wear a half face helmet, and when he fell his chin was at the receiving end.
dont buy online. helmet sizes vary in different companies. if any of your friends have the same companies helmet, then try that, if it fits then order the helmet from that company if needed.

meanwhile one more pic of my helmet from the last ride.

I just love this graphic hence my heart has been on this helmet since the begining of my classes on Helmets

But since after reading so much suggestions on the drawbacks of buying online i wanted to know if there is any authorized SOL dealer in New Delhi otherwise please suggest an authorized dealer for LS2. I had spoken to someone in Karol Bagh last year who sold LS2 helmets but i do not know if that guy was an authorized dealer or not. I do not remember his name now.

Also can anyone tell me the approx prices of the following LS2 helmet models?

FF384 II
FF 358
FF 351 - i gues this one sells in the 3k range. Right ?

and guess the FF396 CR1 and FF396 FT2 are the premium models.

that depends on the purchase you are making (remember buy a product on VAT Bill)

if you are going for a LS2, then knock first at the Chopra Auto, Karol Bagh

if you are thinking of a SOL, try Meandering India (details are there in the recent prev post)

Price details please

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

Nice.

Price details please

Thank you and also @metaphoric.el thank you a lot. . . It's Vega Axor helmet, new product launched by Vega, not found everywhere or every shops, the price of the helmet is 2k, as he was my frnd, he gave it to me for 1.75k and 300rs for graphics, i.e., he said graphic won't stick on, so he just put on sticker and almost everyone liked it. . . As you are seeing in that price range, you can take this with your eyes closed, it's awesome, good comfort and also has good ventilation, for more pics of the helmet, go back 2-3 pages back where I posted many pics of the helmet. . . Just take this or try with Studds Scorpion, another good one in that range. . .

Cheers!!!

True that.. Nice deal for 1.75k. I have a colleague of mine using the same helmet with the graphics shown in the video (Axor Skull RIP) and he got it for 1.8k. The shell indeed is pretty good : hard, as compared to other Vega models and the comfort / ventilation also is good. And its having kinda rubber matt finish which I liked a lot..

Re: helmet for highway/long distance riding

I don't mind spending even 4-5k for a helmet but the problem is the worry of theft. I cant take helmet withme everywhere and I can not rely completely on cable locks as well.

For looters anything they eye on is a loot for them. When you spend so much on something, you need to take care of it. Simple as that. Carry it, you need to. It doesn't take much of a strength to carry it with you. Of course this is a problem for most of them, but as members have rightly pointed, getting used to it. And it will be of a second nature to you that you won't turn on that ignition key of your bike without the helmet on. And trust me you won't.

LOL! Yep - The Vega Formula HP - amazingly, its still being sold!

Haha. Now this Vega FORMULA HP (white colored one) rekindled my memories I had with it for close to three years, white one, really macho looking helmet and exactly bought for the same price close to 450 bucks something years back. If it weren't for those goddarned cheek pads that came off -- well can't blame them numerous use, numerous washes and it the glue finally gave off.

Well believe it or not, when riding back from my office at around 7:00 PM evening 4 years back, always used to keep my visor open on peak traffic for those glaring headlights. But for some reason that day I closed it and was riding. When suddently BHAM BHAM BHAM screech, something the size of a crow hit my visor so hard left and was stuck there, fiddling leaving scratches and then disappeared by the side.

Came home told the incident to my parents, they were like WTF, that was a bat that tried to hit you in your eyes and my granny was like, bats are fond of human eyes and they snatch them and she's seem them too. I was like WTF!

But till the helmet was phased off I can see those three little scratch marks on the left side of my visor. When ever I wore that VEGA helmet, and see those exact three perfect scratches, I still remember how close of a call it was. Boy!

Guys, I have paid 7500 + 400 Rupees to Champion Motor's, Chennai for purchasing Airoh Speed Fire Pitbull Helmet and its been 2 and half days but the dealer still says he ll ship the helmet and when i called to Bachoo Motors( Mumbai ) they said he ll deal only with exhausts but not with Airoh Helmets. and now he's not answering my calls. Need help from U guys.

That's why I've advised you, always deal with the main guys, so that they are fast at shipping. It's not to diss out the local resellers, but just give them some time, perhaps they are working on it. BACHOO MOTORS usually ship the stuff in the same day from the numerous stuffs I bought from them, shipping is excellent from BACHOO. Don't know about these local resellers.

But just give it a day or two, and see what happens. But keep pestering Champion Motors. They will eventually ship and they've got to, but there should be some problem on their side where it's getting delayed.

Give it a day or two. PEACE. I know how it feels waiting for the thing you love, but I don't wanna be an overkill more.

Cheers!
