Well as it says in the title, anyone know any good online retailers for decent helmets at a decent price?
Trashed mine on my recent Spain Trip when i tried some offroading on my rsv

I got mine through either fcmoto.de or motocard cant remember which, but basically the helmet was £100 cheaper buying it from europe than over here

Its all very well buying helmets on line if you know the exact model and size required .

Depending on what your after , the rocket in Blackburn and Shorrocks near Preston are 5 star Arai Dealers. If you thinking of changing brand its best to try on the lids for fit. a Medium Arai, is not the same as a medium Shoei, they will feel completely different .

but then I'm sure you knew all that anyway !!!

Low speed off, just ran out of road riding shitty lines, although lucky as any faster and I would of been plowing the fields, hedge caught the bike and just left some scuffs down the fairing. Road caught my shoulder and a knocked the helmet. My fault, learned from it, rode better after.
Helmets wise ill stay with shark as they fit me well. Been looking at helmetcity - anyone any experience with them?

I used Helmet City - good prices (cheapest Arai Rebel in the Uk) and really good service - they sent the wrong pinlock on an order - contacted them and they sent a replacement immediately and just asked me to return the original 'at my leisure' - excellent service !
