    Model is available here - but the particular graphic that we wanted wasn't. Dealer couldn't get it - spoke to the NZ distributors and they don't/wont bring that one in - anyway it is apparently a discontinued model now.
    But all good as it is on it's way to us.
    Luce by name, but not necessarily by nature

    Nooo.... you want to read my earlier post, a Japanese helmet ex-USA is illegal if it has a DOT approval, though if it has Snell or virtually anything else it's fine.

    Not only that DOT approval is not the best approval to have - particularly if that is the only one the helmet has met.

    And as far as Sharp helmet ratings go, let's not start that one up again - there's at least two other threads on that and there is much debate worldwide as far as their usefullness goes.

    I'd imagine the Caberg helmets would carry ECE 22/05 or similar which is one of the better standards, good enough for me.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
