Would any of you riders across the pond live near Nuneaton-Warwickshire? They carry a helmet I'm kinda interested in and was hoping some one could look at it for me.... Thanks. Don

I wear an HJC 3/4 Hemet now and the fit is great. Would also consider this HJC.

That's a great place, shame they don't know their stuff. Went and looked at the helmet I wear now, and it says not road legal. But it is. Andis Gold ACU stickered too. That means it's well above the standard that's for road use.... and I wore the previous one on a track day....

But in answer to the original post, it's a bit of a trek for me.

This helmet is also available in the States at Jafrum. http://www.jafrum.com/Help/VCAN-528-Milano . The helmet is a VCAN 528 MILANO EUROPEAN STYLE HELMET.

Here is a link to another site. http://www.minibikesplus.com/site/839273/product/DK%20V-CAN%20528%20MILANO

Don, Royal Distributing sells the VCAN line in Guelph. I didn't see this model though. Maybe they can order it for you. I picked up a VCAN 210 modular from them for $119. Not the same model but I was happy with the quality and price.

Hi Greg...thanks for those links. Makes getting the VCAN a lot easier. I sent a request off to Royal about getting one. My Speedmaster is the Mulberry color, thought I could make a fashion statement with a burgundy helmet. However, that Cromwell Mosquito helmet that Chip mentioned is mighty tempting. Pricey, by the time I get it here though. Then again, I just don't need another helmet. Don

By the way....bikes are on the road again down this way.

Oh thanks.... why don't you rub it in a little .... Still way too much snow up here in the north. April at least before the bikes on the road.

We're going to be in Florida for a few weeks soon. We're driving down by (cough) car. Picking up some goodies I've ordered along the way. Going stirr crazy up here.

About the Cromwell helmets, you might want to check to see if they are DOT certified. Someone mentioned that they weren't...can't remember the post.

If you're near Lakeland, drop into British Classics and try on a Davida Jet for me. Pick a helmet in your normal size and see how the Davida compares. Great helmet and a lot of color choices. Have a safe trip.
