LAB is not stupid. not approved ones can be said to be export models. so not for local use.

 

if you notice those helmets in motoworld that is not approved, it says for export only. you cannot hold them liable if they sell it to you. they just say "i tot he buy and bring overseas what"

 

PERSONAL insurance claims for use of non-approved helmets will not be affected. if you dun believe, ask your agent.

 

but at least it is brought to light that a NON-PSB approved helmet used on singapore roads is an offence. good job phuxion on digging out this info.

hey, no prob man!

 

but if the shop is selling them out for export purpose... then dun think they can sell it over the counter rite?? they shdn't be on display at all! hmm... not so sure thou...

 

I think if its for export, then it shd hv been brought in from other countries or produced locally, then sell to buyer overseas rite??

if can say "i tot he buy and bring oversea"... then if i sell playboy to local then police catch, i say "i tot he buy to bring oversea" can?? hahaha,

maybe its a lame example, but i think its a similar nature...

lame example indeed. in the 1st place, you can't even import playboy, how to sell? it's already against the law to bring it in. You can import stuff that are legal but not approved for use in the local market. that is the whole meaning of for export only!

 

there is no law governing the display of items not on sale. Displaying something doesn't mean they have to sell it. As long as they state it is for export only, they are safe. a case of buyers beware.

 

singapore is a free trade country. they can sell exports items to tourists. just check out all the export items in SIM LIM.

closewhen i moved up to my first 'proper' motorcycle, i decided to upgrade to a slightly more creditable option than my learner budget lid. the ogk aeroblade caught my eye straight away. it was styled like a crash helmet that you would expect to pay double its rrp for. after trying it on, it appeared to fit perfectly. i was also tempted by the facility to add tear off visor strips (although these are fairly expensive, so they tear off and go into my pocket...)

 

it took a mere fortnight for the first problem to show up. after a spell of bad weather, i removed the visor to clean it. it was easy to remove and clean but when i reattached it, it was no longer flush against the gasket and as a result, wind and water now seeps in around the edge of the visor. also, by this time, the polystyrene had deformed and no longer gripped my head properly, causing the helmet to vibrate and become very noisy at high speeds.

 

a few months later the scalp vent broke. i didn't make a habit of opening and closing it regularly, but the switch broke off, leaving me unable to operate the vent without removing the helmet and using a biro or such implement. subsequently the same has happened to the chin vent. the brow vent has also stuck shut.

 

recently i have reverted back to my previous crash helmet as a result of the rear blade detatching itself at speed on a motorway. the part disappeared over an embankment never to be seen again. the foam glue had simply detatched. the top vent also fell off, but i was able to find it and reattach it with a glue gun. i was mortified to find that to replace the damaged parts would cost me in the region of £100, over half the cost of the crash helmet in the first place. also, the loss of the blade removed my final defence of the lid - it's looks. now i have a noisy, leaky, broken crash helmet, which no longer fits properly. sounds like i got a real bargain for my £180 doesn't it...?

 

 

 

Advantages Disadvantages

 

Looks good (before it breaks) Appaling build quality

 

Comes apart easily for cleaning Noisy

 

Loses it's shape internally

 

 

Any current aeroblade users can comment??

I just got my aeroblade today.....
