[Beelzebub89]

always wanted one but if I get a new helmet it will be for when I get my bike and the simpson ones aren't legal for road use. The haven't had the required testing to be standard compliant...

[Smity42]

@Colin: bike helmets are allowed under the current regs, as long as they meet AS1698. I use one.

BUT as Josh has said, they are not rated for the same kind of impacts as motorsport helmets. A new helmet for me has been long overdue, I guess that makes me a muppet

I have been trying to track down solid info on what the requirements are changing to. I beleive they are dropping AS1698, and possibly a lot of the other older standards as well, and requiring a HANS device. I'm not going to buy a helmet until I know it will meet the new regs.

get a shoei one

that $235 looks like my kinda helmet hahaha

[Smity42]

P.S. one of my mates has that stig helmet, but with a clear visor

[Beelzebub89]

Best fitting helmets I've ever tried. So light aswell. I reckon my next helmet will be a Shoei helmet. Mum n Dad have both got Shoei's and they're great.

I thought they changed the regs so they had to be compliant with an AS/NZ code not just the AS one. Not sure will have to do a little research

[Nismo_Boy]

I've got a couple of road bike helmets. I think they may be out of date. BS if I cant use them they're legal on the road so why not down a drag strip...

You can.. If they are in date.

at an event, you might as a road helmet isnt anything like a moto-x/dirt bike helmet.

at a CAMS event, thats a whole other story. They can ask you to go home with a JAP cage if they wish.

The problem is, is it going to be all across the board - ANDRA/CAMS/AASA

fookers the lot of them

people already have them from when they did mx - so they figure they might as well get good use out of them while they are still learning - until they decide they want to get more involved, and then get a proper helmet..

or is that just me and dave?
