AGREE!! i using that too... cheap...

kokomo SG

wat full face helmet is worth the value buyin? is index helmet good? those helmet not approve wil kena stop by TP and wat is the penalty?

ah_tee SG

full face i think the best part of it is safety lor,

i ever saw a crack nova in front of me, the rider forehead was split open, the cracked visor pierced into his face, his SP..hai

depends wad r ur standards lo, if u r just going for looks, index gd enuff..

but if u wanna add in the safety factor then go for more established brands like arai,AGV, shoei, nolan..
these are all top range n are at least 400 plus n above

for mid range think HJC n OGK gd enuff, most of the has gone thru the SNELL test and r approved lo..this is for HJC mid n high end models, OGK duno much
approved helmets will have a PSB sticker at the back,

most of the time TP wont fuss much abt the darn helmet except the visor, but even if he decide to b boliao then it is 50 bux fine

Err... actually, Nolan and AGV are not that expensive... Smile
These 2 Italian brands, although not very popular in Spore, are actually quite good. Maybe not as good as Shoei or Arai, but some models are worn by MotoGP riders. You can see the replicas at Nolan and AGV websites.

I've owned 3 Nolan helmets so far, becos couldn't afford Shoei or Arai Smile
The 1st one saved my life a couple of times. In an accident, my face hit the side door of a van, got a nosebleed from the impact. Then at home, when I examined my helmet, I realized that there was a long stretch of car paint on my visor, and it didn't even crack! Phew... had I worn a cheap cheap helmet, my nose would have been flattened liao... Very Happy

Bought my last one, Nolan N81, at Looi's for $220. Dunno whether it's too expensive or not. They don't have many models there.
Then found out that the authorized dealer in Spore is Chong Aik (Onan Road). They should have more selections, and some models should cost you less than $200.

there is a saying that says that "if you have an expensive head, get an expansive helmet. if your head is the cheap type, a $50 helmet will do.

after spending so much on a bike, another hundred dollars or so would not make a great difference.

owm SG

I agree with roger. Many people spend more on modifying their bikes aesthetics and improve performance but ignore the importance of proper riding gear like a good helmet and gloves. Jackets should be worn when riding but the weather here is just too hot to warrant wearing a leather or even a textile one.

The adage that one should dress for the fall instead of the ride makes a lot of sense.

Toking abt jackets, does aniwan have any 'kang tao' for good riding jackets???

Two wheelers magazine is the distributor of this jacket in Spore, dunno if there's any other distributor or not. But the jacket is expensive, $600++ after discount.

owm SG

If you are willing to wear a leather one, Max Equipment carries this line of jackets made in Australia : http://www.angelfire.com/extreme3/x_strom/
The Stealth jacket is rather cool.

For textile ones, I think you can try Looi's or Motoworld for a wide variety.

ah_tee SG

they have 3 models at motorworld

ZF-7
LT-20
Ac-10

the zf-7 is going to 100 plus, but not approved, no snell est
