yea thats stupid.
I myself just got in a shoei visor from USA aswell because the prices here are really high compared to over their.
What I dont understand is that, the helmets selling here and in America are the same. Hence it should be allowed lol.
I would understand more if say for example the helmets here are created to specific conditions for australian sun or road or watever lol but thats not the case.
Ive got an old shoei visor which i will rip the sticker of and stick on to my new one just to make it look more legit lol.. even though theres still the engraving on the aussie visor
The quality of the gear we get here is different to overseas. I have been informed that Arai redeveloped their shells as the australian standards are harsher than overseas.
See a good post? Give it a PQ point.

i once had a customer come in with a matt black open face helmet that i have never seen before. i asked him where he got it from and he said the states, i went on 2 say oooo carefull sometimes they dont get the approval of australian standards and he went on to spin his helmet around, showing me the sticker there and said he had taken it off his son's bicycle helmet. i shruged and walked away, i wonder what would happen if his son is caught riding his little tricycle without the AS sticker...

dainese overpriced as hell ... but damn i love their logo :P its for ballers only. Then you have Alpinestars which is what everyone gets because its one of the top brands with a decent price tag.
IMHO some alpinestars are overated. my mate paid 800 for a jacket with no plastic armour inside, rather it was just thick leather on the elbow + shoulder parts
and some of them have titanium like the santa monica :P ... but the price tag is OMGWTF ...
i always thought spidi is more known for their one pc, unless u meant sidi which have nice boots ... vertigo corsa MMMM
