Found the helmet I have been looking for they are sold out in the US but they have them still available in the UK here

http://www.hein-gericke.com/uk/product_info.php/products_id/2598

They will not ship to the US, so I was wondering if I sent you the funds would you be willing to buy the helmet and then ship it to me?

Let me know thanks.
Dave

Not 100% sure on this, wondering if I want to really spend that much but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone would even be willing to help me.

Here's a link that works

$750.00 + Shipping + Shipping again? Something like $800-$850 for a helmet you're not 100% sure fits you well?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a custom paint job on a helmet you KNOW fits you?

uhm... don't get your hopes SUPER high up there, but I might know of some one with one of these stateside.... Lemme check.

I know it would be crazy expensive but I really like that helmet for some strange reason.

And I said thinking about it because thats alot of money to shell out for a helmet that I dont' know will fit me right. No one seems to stock the AGV's here. I'm about 50% I will get one 40% I won't and 10% I'm

for thinking about paying that much for a helmet.

I'm about 100% that you're

to pay that much for a helmet...

I mean... How much would a custom paint job cost?

Taking into account the wisdom above I will help if required, pm me. A board member from US is coming to visit me in a couple of weeks so getting it back may not be too difficult however my experience of posting parcels and magasines to USA is that it can be quite expensive. ...Whatever the offer stands.

Thanks Cal I'll pm you if I decide to get it.

dgyver thanks for the link. Really appreciate it.

Still undecided if I'm going to get it or not, wife was not to happy when I mentioned the cost.

" Honey come take a look at this helmet I like"

wife " It's different, if you like it go ahead and get it, you need a new helmet anyway"

" I'm just not sure if it will fit me or not, and there's no place around here to try one on"

wife " $400 for a helmet isn't that bad, if it doesnt fit re-sell it, or will they exchange it?"

" Thats 400 pounds about 755 for the helmet then more to have it shipped here"
wife . . . . . .

Then I got that look like she thought I was

And then she walked out of the room

Will talk to her about it tonight

RVertigo · August 23, 2006, 04:38:45 PM

HA HA HA HA HA... I can totally picture that conversation... 'cause I've lived it.

"Hey! Check out this cool thing I want."
"That is cool... How much is it?"
"... I can get a used one for $4000."
"........" *leaves room*

Talk to my better half, well everyone says she's my better half but I wonder sometimes

She said it was up to me, BUT do I really need a helmet that expensive when I can get another helmet just as good for half the price. Or like it was mentioned RVertigo get a plain white helmet and get it painted with those graphics.

Sometimes women just make to much sense.

So I guess I won't be getting it

Also she mentioned that instead of getting that helmet I should the other one I liked, and get bar ends, frame sliders, and front and rear spools for the gsxr's with the leftover money.

makenzie71 · August 23, 2006, 08:40:43 PM

ummm...I think you're a loon for buying it, but if you want it I can get it. See if they sell them in ausi-land...I can get one easier there.
