Its a bit complicated in Goa, the rider must wear a helmet on A roads but not around town (B roads). A pillion doesn't have to wear a helmet on any roads, and when I say a helmet , most are cycle helmets.
I guess its the same in all other Indian states?

I give mine to the local fire station for use in exercises - removal from crash victim etc.
Great idea,and fireman are so tight they probably wear them
but seriously a very good idea
As for India Marks right and I still have the receipt for my £1 fine for not wearing a helmet on a main road.
A new helmet out there was £6 with all the safety rating of a Tupperware lunch box
I gave my caberg flip to a local who was less than impressed to be honest (but no doubt he sold it on)
A S/H lid is also handy left attached to your bike in case you carry a pillion & if nicked who cares

Fully functional space program, well down the road with their nuclear weapons program, yet still they beg anything & everything from the rest of the world

I’m chasing a Shoei J cruise type of helmet on fleabay however someone else keeps counter bidding immediately after I’ve made a bid - does make you wonder if the seller is actually bidding himself - here’s a link to the item - currently I’m outbid

I've been looking at new prices for the J-Cruise (in white) and £260 seems to be the best so far, from XL Moto.
