Absolutely man. I can accept a price difference but sometimes its bonkers.

I'm waiting to heard back from megabikes tomorrow to see how close they can come to online prices. They were looking for about 1350 and online is 1000 for the bits I want.

Have you tried helmet city?
I think they were doing money off the com if bought with a Schubert helmet.
I forget what the price was though.

Surprisingly enough that price is actually off an Irish company so it was a win win

Yeah i was looking at that. Its kinda cheeky they way they are doing it.
They are massively overcharging for the SRC system compared to everywhere else and then put on their discount which only bring it in line with the standard price of it everywhere else.

I have a SRC installed, bought it at the same time as the helmet, it just works, buttons are easy to use with gloves and sound is grand.
I commute approx. 350km each week and it gets charged once a week, so battery life is definitely still 6hours plus for regular use over the last 2 years.
FM radio is handy for traffic and the call quality is very good even at 100km+
Being able to start and stop music etc. Is very handy on longer spins

Im in luck. The visor still works. It was the small plastic nib that broke off but the visor still moves up/down and the other clasp holds it in place. Sill ill search for a new lid as i wanted one with a pinlock

goodlad

I just ordered my S2. My noggin is already excited

goodlad

Found it brilliant. Bit noisy but other than that its brilliant.
Internal sun visor, pinlock and comfortable.

Lads how best do you clean your bike gear? My leather jacket is looking a bit rough, how should you clean it? I throw my gloves in the wash every once in a while but what about your lid? Do you take out the lining or is there an easier way?

My leathers and lid get cleaned with baby wipes.

My jacket hasn't been washed once it its 25 years!! (seriously), and if my RST pants last as long they won't be washed either.

I like the smell of a well worn helmet too

But I wash my bike and change my underwear :P

I take the lining out and use a very small amount of shampoo to clean it and then rinse and dry well.
Leave a helmet damp for long and you will find it turns into a petri dish with all kinds of stuff that you didn't know could grow in a helmet.

Fair play to her, hate people who litter. Although not sure if they're staged or not.

Thanks Gary. Ill see how I get on for the mo. The visor still actually works and I reckon if I get some strong plastic glue I can sort it.

I use the aldi leather wipes on my leathers and they are fabulous for cleaning them. I use W5 glass cleaner for my visors and then the lid too. I dont care about chemicals wearing away the lid it will be long gone before its a problem.

This chap sounds like BaronVonGrumble but I doubt its him.

What would you do?

those type of lower brain cell morons thrive on a response - so I'd way up two responses... 1. Ignore the undertake and let him annoy someone else or 2. Respond by driving him into a wall.
