Bargain Lid?

Cheap to start with, but use the code MY10 to get another 10% off makes it £250.

I'm seriously tempted. The Renegade hasn't been out that long so its unlikely to be more than two years old?

I really wish you lot would stop reminding me that lid is still in stock in my size at pretty much less than half price ....... because the paint design is awful and it has Ducati sprayed on it. But its basically a Chaser V at half the money :thumbup:

Do you want me to send you photos of mine - I don't care that it has Ducati sprayed on it, and I don't like Ducatis, it comes in a nice red Arai bag that also has Ducati on it, the sun visor is pretty funky as well.

"The Arai Renegade-V is a new full face motorcycle helmet which is ideal for motorcycle riders which use cruiser style motorbikes such as Harley Davidson's and the Ducati X Diavel."

So - err - WHAT have they done to it to make it ideal for cruisers?

You say that like it is a bad thing.

I have one of these - they don’t have the ACU Gold Sticker on the back. Is that something to worry about?

(I am going on a track day on Monday - can I take this helmet??)

I don't think they check on trackdays, however if it worries you, buy a sticker off ebay :)

I never noticed, just checked mine and mine doesn't have the gold sticker that my other Chaser V does, both are the same EU standard though. I can't remember ever having a helmet checked in a Trackday, but I'd take another helmet as well if you can

Not actually an issue now, as it is pissing down here in the SE - so there is no chance that I am going to propel myself around Brands Hatch in the rain, on road tyres.
And have to ride there and back!
