Thought you would like to see this helmet.... my dad showed me the link, as he isn't such an avid online buyer he visited the shop, got chatting to the sales chap and got the above for £299 ! Seemed like a good deal.

I am thinking of getting one at that price but before I do I always wanted a Simpson helmet ( darth vader look ). Found them online in the US

www.simpsonraceproducts.com/products/products.aspx?cat_id=45

But is this helmet road legal in the UK ? Does anyone know of a UK based supplier ?

I wear a simpson rx8 everyday, they are not legal in the uk but i have not been pulled for wearing it in 3 years. they are not bs stamped they are made to snell standards which is a tuffer test than the european bs test.I must say i would try riding with one before you buy one though as visability is not as good as say an aria. and at 145+ it sprays my eye juice on the back of the visor and makes tears run down my face. But defo the hardest looking lid on the market.
