I'm pleased the missus bought me one Scottyso far so good lol
Hey Muz, I was a bit iffy about the sticker situ but Mrs Gitzy went ahead and bought me one anyway so I'll risk it I think.. does anyone know if the World Standard Sticker applies in OZ??
Ps How good does that AGV Look, Damn nice..
I have heard police are now starting to check helmets for the Australian Standards Sticker!!Originally Posted by Gitzy
I think if it doesnt have the sticker,it's just the same as riding without a helmet at all....and i think it's the same fine as driving without a seatbelt.....so 3pts and whatever amount of dollars that is.....or so I've heard...
Plus void insurance in the event of a crash/injury claim.....
Jesus died for his own sins...NOT MINE !
Your right the cops are. Mainly because of those skull cap lids the nike bikers wear. And your also right about it voiding your insurance thats why I gave up wearing my bandit lids. As much as I hated to do it I'd rather have my bike insured in an accident.
just received my new AGV...
LOVE IT!
comfortable, light and quietish (compaired with the rayjays dakar i had before)...
i have a Carbon fibre Troy Lee helmet with a doggy sticker. which looks alright from 100 paces but don't think it would fool any copper picky enough to look...and i always feel paranoid when i were it...(the australian importer would not bring one in for me!!)
and the world standard does NOT mean anything here unfortunatly.

and there've got you at the statment "The rider of a motorcycle must wear an approved motorcycle helmet securely fitted and fastened on the rider’s head"
and then"Complies with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1698:2006 Protective Helmets For Vehicle Users, as amended by Amendment No. 1 of 28 September 2007 and Amendment No. 2 of 27 May 2009; or
Is an earlier version of Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1698 or Australian Standard 1698-1988 that was in force at the time of manufacture or importation; and"
"Has a mark certifying compliance with an above standard."
and then
"As of October 2010, there are four JAS-ANZ accredited bodies that can certify motorcycle helmets to comply with AS/NZS 1698"
and also just noticed my new helmet standards sticker even has the helmet model on it now as well!!!! so no more swapping stickers!!!
Cheers Matt
I hate being bipolar, its awesome!
1980 was a good year for helmet's wasn't it ?
They do get better with age like a fine wine, right ?
hey gitzy your icon not got aus sticker ? my icon variant has , i did here of a few coming in early in the peice with no aus standard but mine i got from the yamaha shop legit aus spec
i love thous ICON helmets!!
Nup its from the States.. The only ones I could find in Oz were the Rubatone and white ones I think.. But I wanted the ETCHED one with the homosexual skulls on it to match my jacket (cos I'm a bit wanky)..
Fair enough , surely icon can supply a aus sticker if it even is a issue
Hang on I'll print a batch
there have been guys on different forums,and even on ebay,selling the stickers at $30each!!
If a cop wanted to be a cunt,they can look inside the helmet for the standards in there,as they should be stitched to the liner!!
Mine with the visor off (Which they supply diffrent side plates with the lid) and a dark as fuck visor. Very very nice lid with that Arai fit
Hey Lads, i just purchased a simpson bandit here in Perth @ Chris Mills Performance for $499 it is for drag racing as you need a snell 2005-2010 helmet below 10 sec..thanks andra
Finally ripped the visor off and put the silver iridium shield on. Looks like a different lid now.
Looks like tha kinda lid a fighter pilot would wear!! i like it.
Definatly getting somethin similar next time i need a newby.
That looks good!
