Anyone recommend somewhere around the Essex / Herts area for a good, quiet helmet at about £100.

If you find any let me know and at that price I'll buy the lot....

Good + quiet does not = £100 Sory, but it's true.

Yeh - thought I was pushing my luck - saw something reasonable at the local BMW dealer today but was bit rich at £180.

Have seen some pretty cheap stuff but mostly crap

It depends, i dont know where you would get one, unless you knew your size/which makes fit you.

I picked up my Shoei XR-800 (Discontinued) at the Ally Pally Show for 90quid. So bargins are arround.

you can get some decent ones for that price, but they'll never compare to some of the pricier helmets...

You can get a caberg brutus for under £100... Had one until I crashed, loved it, was fairly quiet etc, basically a cheaper version of the Roof Boxer...

Try Busters, there selling off X-Lite 901's for £75, I've just ordered 1. My mate has one of these and says it's the quietest helmet he's had.

i bought a AGV Hot Rod for the g/f today from Hein Gericke. if there one near you try them as they are all ablout to get their '05 stock in and need to make room for it.

There are some dirt cheap 'last ones' but you gotta have a very big or very small head for em

The AGV Hot Rod is very comfy but also noisey. More noisy than my SpiderMan one which suprised me cos it felt better made.

They even have a couple of Rossi Reps for about a ton so well worth a look.

Just dont waste your time on thier website cos they still have a big frontpage ad for A*s 2002/3 kit!
