Helmet needed in Colombia, if only we could afford it. USD 1000

Wow, wonder what the make is? For 1 Grand, the liner better be laced with Gold! I just picked up a Shoei(arguably one of the best in the world) at my local Honda Shop. It was advertised at $173 and I negotiated the price down to $90. http://www.motorcyclegearreview.com/reviews.php?prodID=33

From $173 to $90 what a Businessman

But, I'm going to start making some assumptions here.... Which means I might actually end up making an ass out of myself ..........Thu 04 17, 2008 11:34 am

WM- Funny thing the Manager had it marked up so high he couldn't move it for 6 months so I came by and made him a ridiculous offer, he dropped the price just to move it on the spot. Or maybe he just finished smoking a Fat One behind the shop. I think my buying it (for $90)had less to do with my being an astute businessman and more to do with my being plain old cheap, which I wear as a badge of honor(your cheapness). Being a good cash paying customer at the same shop for 12 years doesn't hurt either. LOL

BTW, what make is that Skid Lid in the Glass case?

I`ve got one of those in my closet as we speak,which I paid $225 for about 4 years ago,though it is in perfect condition.. I sold my bike last year.. Thing is,how could one get it down there besides flying just to bring that?

It's probably from the Spanish company called APC Systems....they have been working on models for several years now I believe. There are also airbag jackets that have hit the stores in the recent past, like the ones by IXS and Dainese. You can see a video of the jacket in action at: http://www.helmethairblog.com/entries/motorcycle-airbag-suit-in-action...

You won't find a tourist here...

I wouldn't be suprised if Dainese made one of those as they are making jackets with air bags.

Today I picked up a few parts for my Honda at the same shop I bought my Helmet at and talk about some great deals on Helmets. They have some full face Arai & Shoei Helmets that retailed for $1100 a few months back, to sell out the remaining stock, they have several they dropped the price to $240. Brand new, never used. Now thats a deal. In Col, you could resell these easily for $600-$800 I believe. They have several Nolen Full face helmets selling for under $150 each.

I belive in the future those Airbag Jackets will be as common as Helmets are today. As more companies start to make them, the price will drop and more Riders will start using them.
