Chong Aik has both LTA approved and no n approved. Diff is the buckle for chin strap.

 

N43 $280 idf I remembered correctly. I was there recently to get the Nolan N103

[scoobydoo]

paithorn, gave up the caberg and bought the N103?

 

the "N43 Air" looks interesting, may drop by to see the real thing before the coming trip to sg renggit and melaka. that's another thing to do apart from settling the travel insurance

 

from WebBikeWorld... user remarks

The real selling point for me was the air intake/exhaust system on top of the helmet. On the first ride I left the vents closed and headed out on the highway to get an idea how it felt without the vents open. With the vents closed it seemed on-par with most helmets I have had in the past providing adequate airflow but nothing stellar.

 

This all changed when I opened up the top vents and the the reason for it winning the webBikeWorld helmet of the year became very clear. The amount of air moving through the helmet, especially on the top of the head, is unbelievable.

Hmm.. I am also considering this fishball...

[whyzee]

I went Regina 2 days to ask abt e Caberg HyperX, but dont think they bringing in. Wanted e Givi x.01, but think its overpriced here..

 

Seems like e n43 might b a good alternatives..

[kmkoon]

[kitoshebe]

i'm looking for flip up also!

[whyzee]

The n43 is not a flipup btw. Its jus come w removeable chin bar. With chin bar, stil haf to put on like a full face.

 

Confused now, dunno to get modular like these or flip up. Flip up very convenient for ppl like me wearing specs, but these modular types r better ventilated n haf better view..

[SW9000]

All buying?

July bonus haben come... no money. hehe.

So, when going to test test and negotiate price?

Thursday?

Then go eat Tim Sum near there?

problem is, nolan fishballs are usually very tua liap.

i tried the N102 & N103 last time, looked into the mirror and immediately felt like phoning home... "ET phone home", u know what i mean

hanor hanor... speckies like us need to think "twice".

i'm attracted by its ventilation system design but the chin bar...

* if use it as a jet helmet n use chin bar only on tours? quite a waste cos tours only few times a year

* if use as full face? defeats the purpose of selling my FF to look for a modular

* if remove/put back chin bar at each wear? very ley chay, machiam astronauts donning the suit for space walk

I will go for ventilation. From the video review, the chin bar is made of lexan which is almost destructible.

I think I remember correctly, Atlantic200 was wearing n43 when we went to krabi last november.

We can go try out the helmet and see how we look when put on the helmet

[whyzee]

I agree w scooby that Nolan's helmets r generally quite.. But since this helmet got e webbikeworld helmet of e year award, I will consider it. Gonna check it out..

 

The adv if this helmet is more like, wear w chin bar on the NSH, then when reach town areas, say, Penang, Melaka, take out chin bar when traffic is slow n it's gonna b hot.

 

What makes stil wan a flipup is tat I believe at highway speed, it will b more stable n quiet..

destructible good meh... kekeke

2 most important questions... at post #3

 

Amended: in case i breach SBF's "advertising restrictions"

PM 2_wheeler directly or PM/sms me for Jamerson's contact nos if you're interested.

 

Update:

i've just spoken to Jamerson and expressed my reluctance to fill in my credit card details (including the CVS nos.). he propose we email the filled form without the credit card details to him, then meet him to make credit card payment online transaction on the spot; no need to have any record of the CVS nos.

hahaha. Today late noon, Fusionjaz and I will be going there to take a look. Let me know the potential interest. For Nolan, I'm thinking of getting from Chong Aik, as they will have 5 years warranty.

wah sei... si bey eng

 

later post review later hor

[scoobydoo]

anyone knows where to find best price for non-contract HTC sensation?

i only know 2 shops at Far East Plaza... mobilesquare ($740) and whymobile ($725)

 

update:

just completed my few-day reading (total 58 pages) of the Sensation thread at hardwarezone. seems this phone has many software issues yet to be resolved, no good fit screen protector available for now (many users got their screen scratched even though phone comes with gorilla glass) and some users feedback that battery life sucks. hmmm... maybe good to KIV n see what develops

I usually go walk around and find shops in Toa Payoh Central. But I dunno what's the best price there though.

Cannot pay via I-banking or cash?

[scoobydoo]

Cannot pay via I-banking or cash?

i actually checked with him about us paying cash to ACE or we pay him cash then he use his CC to pay. he said ACE wants customers to pay using own CC, some sort of internal control issue (maybe to prevent agents from "monkeying" with sales)

 

i've already emailed my signed form to him (start policy from 24/06/2011 just in case)... probably meet him on Wed
