[David Yong]

Sorry to barge in...but which part of town will u guys be from? Can I tag along?

PS. If you don't mind a lady tagging along, that is...

Sure no problem. Let see where and what time to meet up. Will keep you in mind :smokin:

 

[Rimsukan]

JPB, CK & Rimsukan; guys since you guys will be going from town area to Sepang, shall we (four of us) meet somewhere and go together and then decide where to meet with the rest for brunch or what ?

Sure bro, no problem. But since the event is still sometime away probably we should make arrangements nearer the date.

As for now we should probably get together to go buy helmets first. anyone here can suggest where we can go get them? Garang looks for gaya but cheap cheap ones would be appreciated..hehehehe

Raz Dear,

Of course we don't mind...lets not let gender get in the way shall we...:wink:

I'm a first timer myself (donno about you guys tho) & like you was quite apprehensive initially but hey where else can you get this kind of a learning experience in a world class facility no less..

Anyway I'm from Ampang/Ulu Klang side...:rock:

 

[fabianyee]

any sirim approved helmets will do unless you want the more gaya ones...

Can get the SOL full faced helmets which you can used for gokarting too..

for helmets that is gaya and garang go Pertama or this motorbike shop in sunway same row as that famous tyre shop (dunno the name) its a corner shop if not mistaken its called 'Sunny' sumthing...got replicas for abt rm100+

 

[ALBundy]

Yeah, go to Pertama Complex and look for a shop called Mecinda and ask for the boss Pak Su.

The prices are competitive (checked on the internet before I bought mine). They also have replica ones for a couple of hundred bucks, look super garang. One thing about helmet, make sure you get the correct fitment and check the visor design, some will restrict your vision and make you feel claustrophobic.

Got myself a Nolan :top:

Cheers

Hah!! A subject up my alley...
If you asked me, most if not all 'sirim' stickered helmets are not safety prooved. Reasons, there are syndicates out there printing 'sirim approved stickers'...and every helmet manufacturer, local, Thai, korean, etc...seem to get their models stickered...making that a problem telling which from which...haha

But not to worry as even if your helmet did come with the 'original' sirim sticker, it may still not fall under International Safety Standards. I guess its safe to say that helmets that carry these stickers/tags are recognised internationally hence higher standards of safety:

USIS, DOT, SNELL - American
ACU - European, British
JIS, MFJ - Japanese

For most of the better helmets, you will find the factory approved 'seal' sticthed under the padding/cushion along with the size, date of manufacture and sometimes even with the tester's name.

"Comfort has several factors. For example, the material that makes up the motorcycle helmet's liner should feel comfortable against the skin. The internal padding of the helmet should act as a comfortable cushion between the head and the helmet internals, and the liner shape should perfectly match your head shape. The perfect helmet would be so comfortable that the rider would forget that it’s there."​

The more notable brands are : Arai, Shoei, Nolan, Bell, AGV, Shark, Scorpion​

I'll bring 3 helmet there. YOu standby Nescafe Ping for me.

You will be in a safer group.Strictly no overtaking on all corners. :smokin:

 

[okow]

Raz, I guess an 'el-cheapo' will do, since this is HPC and not a race. Just fullfilling the mandatory track safety requirement.
