Author Message   Glitch Posted on Friday, August 13, 2004 - 08:22 pm:        Are these sold in the US at all? If so does anyone know where to get one. I met Jmartz today (good to meet you by the way) and he's got a red one. Very nice!

Ordering them from overseas appears to be the best way to get a new one. A Google search will yield a bunch of places across the pond, but again you're talking over 500 clams for one including shipping and a dark visor. They do show up on eBay with pretty good frequency as well, both in the US and from Europe. If you find a sneaky way to get one in for relatively cheap let me know would ya?   Wyckedflesh Posted on Friday, August 13, 2004 - 10:23 pm:        Roof are not legal for street use in the USA due to the lack of DOT acceptance. With that said I have been wanting one ever since I saw one in Back Street Heros from the UK.   Buellish Posted on Friday, August 13, 2004 - 11:20 pm:        Check out these David http://www.schuberth.de/eng/concept.htm The Concept is my helmet of choice these days. Mike   Glitch Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 12:17 am:        I did the google, and the UK is the closest I could find. Shipping included was just over $500. That does look sharp Mike. I just kinda like the "pilot look" the Roofs have. Not as extreme as this one though.   Ray_maines Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 02:50 am:        BTW: They are ROUND! If you have an oval shaped head you're out of luck.   Rocketman Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 03:47 am:        They sell Roof down the road from me. I think they're around £200 give or take. Probably cost around £25 to ship. Do the math at your end and if the conversion suits, let me know if I can help. Incidentally, they're often sold cheaper at the big shows, but that's usually winter through spring time.

That'll save me close to $100! I'll let you know when I'm ready. I can wait until the shows to start as I really don't need another helmet just yet. Stonecoldbuellin   Southernmarine Posted on Sunday, August 15, 2004 - 12:44 am:        You have me wanting one of these now.   M1combat Posted on Sunday, August 15, 2004 - 02:16 am:        They are very cool looking... I would probably repaint it though. I think it would look good if painted like an OD green flight helmet. I wear a textile camouflage riding jacket from Vanson and it would fit right in .   Stonecoldbuellin Posted on Sunday, August 15, 2004 - 02:31 am:        thats my next lid
