asharin Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I bought a new helmet today, to replace the one I crashed in last friday. So now I have a helmet, just no bike :DI got a matt black BOX BX-2 helmet. Cost me £49.99 and has a 4 star sharp rating, also it's a nice snug fit, so I am V happy.http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/images/products/lg/aaBX02plain.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I agree Bogof, not all is as it seems, items on sale could be "altered" to obtain a better sale/price.. hopefully a well researched purchase would give the buyer enough pointers to find an original than a duff.. but yes an unsuspecting buyer could be duped by a unscrupulous seller....

I got it from a local shop, I'd rather keep the money locally, and I would never mail order a helmet. 1. Can't try it on 2. Might get dropped in transit.

blakeatron Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 But it has to be delivered to the shop somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asharin Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Your point?I still can't check the helmet fits or check for defects via mail order.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Your point?I still can't check the helmet fits or check for defects via mail order.. You could try it on in the shop first, find out the size and then order it mail order, and as Blakeatron says it could have been dropped before it reaches the shop shelves. As for defects, well you can return faulty products. I do agree though that sometimes its just easier and more convienent going to your local shop.
