Helmets overseas

[Fox Rider]

Yeah, any markets like that are full of fakes, knock-offs, "genuine" ex-stock, copies, repos, etc. Do the local bikers actually buy that gear to wear? Or do they wear proper bone domes?

And for that matter, are the bikes there the real deal or knock-offs?

Well....

For those who have been here, you will know that for every 1 car there is about 6 scooters/motorbikes. Most of which are wearing the helmets i was looking at. The guy we are touring with has said "I see these guys crash with these helmets all the time at 80kph+ and because they dont wear any gear (Such as leathers)... Thier body is messed up but the helmet always seems to be fine...

I do have a proper helmet at home which i paid a decent amount for, but this one was just sooo much prettier.

I guess ill play it safe and leave it

As a paramedic once put it: "one buying such a helmet risks a skull injury in case of an accident (you can't injure what you don't have)".
