Essexboy Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Company selling dangerous motorcycle helmets handed large fines https://www.gov.uk/government/news/company-selling-dangerous-motorcycle-helmets-handed-large-fines Check this out! Popped up in my news feed 6 Quote
Capt Sisko Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Excellent and I’d like to see more prosecution of importers & dealers selling helmets and clothing that are substandard, counterfeit or with incorrect safety claims etc etc. I’ve seen reports of Trading Standards visiting show, but this is the first I’ve heard about the DVSA getting involved and getting a good result with it. Good. 2 Quote
RideWithStyles Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Yeah gotta agree and not just for helmets! they should all be chased down, bankrupted and jailed for a very long time! the con artists. 1 Quote
Fleck Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Had a look on their website, none of the helmets are branded, just Chinese crap at about £150, the markup must be over £100 1 Quote

Total immoral behaviour from Bikers Lifestyle (?) as their greed could literally kill someone and £150 isn't pennies either. 5 Quote
ChrisBiggsUK Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I keep getting adverts for them. Note to self; No matter how good a bargain seems, no bargain is worth risking your life. 3 Quote

Fiddlesticks Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Punishment should be to fire them from a cannon at a brick wall with their own product for protection. 4 2 Quote

Quick look on Sportsbikeshop shows plenty of choice at that price and cheaper from brands I would trust a hell of a lot more to protect my skull. Caberg..HJC...Shark. All can be had for less than £150 7 Quote
bud Posted February 26 Posted February 26 They are probably aiming at the new motorcyclist. Those not experienced enough to know a good brand. And the e most in need of good quality gear. It's diabolical and they should be punished to the limits of the law. 1 Quote
S-Westerly Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Went on their site yesterday evening and surprise - on the helmets link they had nothing available. Licking their wounds i hope. 3 Quote
