If it were road legal in Aus id be wearing one. Looks triK!

[wackyrider]

Nice lid.
Why shouldn't be road legal here????

[rasper]

Needs the australian standard approval with out that can not be legally warn?

[BOHEMION]

And this is the definition of an approved motorbike helmet:
approved motorbike helmet means a helmet that complies
with—
(a) AS 1698–1988; or
(b) another standard the chief executive considers is at least
equal to that standard.

In the UK I wore a Simpson for years.
Was told to quote to the cops the bit in the law
that says "Helmets should be of British Standard...
OR OF EQUAL SAFETY VALUE" (USA Snell?) Never got a ticket,
never had the lid taken off me. Not sure if its the same
here but what Bo wrote is similar.

[nah mate i told ya i dont need no new coat........ere aint the arms supposed to be the other way round[xx(]] oi an the buttons are supposed to be on the front aint they] ive finally gone off me head...[8D]

[Gix11]

Nah Watevr, I haven't bought from there. That's the actual manufacturers site so it has all the stuff. As Boh said, there are importers over here in Aus, just do your research to compare prices as sometimes it's cheaper to buy direct.

[WATEVR]

not high on the priority list at the mo but i will consider them when its time to buy again.

[jewfzr]

In the us they are popular with the cager guys but not so much bikes. I really like the looks of them.

[scotty mac]

i still like the original outlaw.http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/6510742224550.jpg

[Seifer]

The ventilation looks like it will be a bit of a shocker on a summer day tho.

[BOHEMION]

i spent abit looking at this helmet on display at BMW newstead ( demo only...[V]:( fukkers ) and will buy one to use for my off roader when i get it BUT you can pretty much un bolt the visor and replace the waste space with a rubber washer, Instant fighter lid.

FYI guys.. Simpson is no longer made in the USA. They were bought out by some asian company and the quality has gone to shit.. I would not buy one for my head no matter how good they look.

Sorry.. Correction, they are owned by an Asian company but the plantin US is still open. I've been told quality standards have gone way down though and I still wouldn't buy a new one.

[Gix11]

Shit. That's not good news. Thanks for the info Smokey.

[Scrapyard]

I have an original Outlaw. I love it. I crashed in it at 80mph. Big nasty drag mark down to the fiberglass. Still wearing it (main because I can't afford another one right now). That Raider is sick though. Think I just found my next lid. Did hear about the buy out though. That sucks.

My lid in it's current state

Here is what I wont it to look like, if anyone knows someone to do a nice cheap & I mean cheap air brush job, got a quote for $1100 but its way out of my league, I know there is a lot of work involved but $1100

[Gix11]

Yea, that's a pretty standard price for that kind of work mate:
