yes you will.
yes... as long as it is an approved helment for the Australian Standard you will be fine
yeah as above. If you are going to buy a full face dont buy a cheap one with little to no venting or you will cook your head in no time even with the windows down. Try and get something with a washable liner aswell because if your wearing it alot they tend to get stinky real quick.
I would say spend as much as you can on your helmet. There are huge differences between a $99 and a $1200 helmet, the fit, the safety standards and comfort change heaps! If you get yourself a good helmet to start with you can keep it for a while if you look after it.
anyone wanna post pics/specs/price of what they have?
The safety standards dont tend to change - it is just a question of if the helmet meets the standard or not, and if it does meet the standard by how much does it exceed them.Quote:

For the bike, I'd buy a good helmet like an Arai. Then I'd get a good riding suit, boots and a suitable bike backpack. You can't use your regular backpack when riding bikes (if you fall off and roll, you'll break your back). Don't skimp, I don't want a thread where we have to start posting RIPs.
If you decide not to get the bike but still want a helmet for the car, I'd buy a $80 THH one instead. Oh, and NEVER peel off the australian standards sticker that is on the helmet (nor cover it with another sticker)
I have an Arai GP-5K and its a great helmet.Quote:
