Mysterious motorcycle helmet, ONZA?

Alexander

So I've been looking for a reasonably priced open-faced/full-faced hybrid aviator style helmet like the OSBE Rufus or the ROOF Boxer. I can across this listing on ebay for a similar style, link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Face-Helmet-Open-Face-Removable-Chin-Bar-Demi-Jet-MOMO-Flight-TR1-Style-/261037931229?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cc712badd

I've been googling it but can't find it anywhere else on the web! It seems to be legit
but I'm confused as to why I can't find this anywhere else.

If you have any recommendations to other helmets such as these please let me know.
Thank you!

Answer
When people ask me what style helmet they should get i have 2 stock replies:
"Which would you rather be wearing if i punched you in the face?"
"How much do you like your chin where it is?"

Before you buy a modular helmet, google some safety reviews and pictures of ones that have been through crashes. They are notorious for not only failing to protect your face/ chin, but even breaking off and causing worse damage themselves

Also, it's generally a bad idea to buy a used helmet because the structural integrity is compromise by many things you can't gauge just by looking- UV and sweat being 2 big ones.
If you have a local Cycle Gear or similar bike shop (GEAR shop, not repair shop), you should be able to find new helmets of any style you like for ~$80

what are the bicycle helmet laws in ontario canada?

Answer
Canada has some provincial and local helmet laws. Ontario's helmet law for cyclists under 18 took effect in 1995. It was originally to have covered all ages, and there is a bill in parliament now to extend it to do that. There is spirited opposition by a few cyclists there. (see links below) Proponents cite the cost of cyclists' injuries to the national health system, without reference to the much greater cost of treating those injured in cars, a blind spot also found in the US. In March, 2003, the Canadian Institute for Health Information announced that hospitalizations due to cycling-related injuries were down 12.5 per cent between 1997-98 and 2001-02.
The Canadian province of Nova Scotia enacted all-age bicycle helmet legislation in 1997. Toronto University Professor of Epidemiology Dr Mary Chipman published a research paper (PDF 44k) in March 2002 through the Canadian Medical Association Journal: "The data from Australia and now Nova Scotia suggest that legislation increases helmet use but also reduces the numbers of cyclists."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal suggests a 62% reduction in cyclist numbers in Halifax the year after helmet law enactment, with more cyclist injuries recorded than before the law and a nominal reduction in head injuries (8 less head injuries in 1999).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The failure of the helmet law in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario were also exposed in July 2003 by researcher Dorothy Robinson in a paper peer reviewed by pediatrics.com.

Despite these failures, Ontario is in 2004 considering legislation for the mandatory wearing of helmets by cyclists of all ages. Read the viewpoint of the Hammer or the opinion of Connie Woodcock from the Toronto

How much are cycling machines?

Ignorance

I live in England

Also are there any good places to buy them from?

Answer
Iâd say anywhere from $120 (cheap, noisy uncomfortable bad crappy one made in China that will break within a year) to $2,300 (sturdy commercial gym grade one).
If I had to buy a stationary bike for personal use, I would buy an Airgometer with moving handles (so you also get an upper body workout and your arms can help when your legs get tired). The one at Amazon.com is about $450 (new). I bought mine more than 20 years ago and it still works. The seat is hard so I added a gel seat cover. I even constructed a table (itâs just a long, thin book shelf that I put on long legs) to fit between the handles and my body so I can put books there and read...but more often than not, Iâm just watching TV while using my bike.

Buy a good quality bike and if money is an issue, pay it on a monthly basis (like I did 20 years ago) or borrow money to pay for it. Youâre better off with a good quality machine that will last for a long time than with some cheap crappy machine made in China, which is like throwing money out the window.

I donât live in England so I donât know about good places to buy them from.
I live in the US and little stores selling exercise equipment usually sell good quality products and the sale people are knowledgeable but the equipment is very expensive.
For bigger sports stores, you can try out the equipment thatâs on the floor (as nobody working there knows anything about any machines, so you have to figure it out for yourself). For cheap stores like Wal-Mart, you cannot even try out their crappy equipment made in China as they smartly store them on high shelves.
Some stores, like âPlay it Againâ sell used exercise and sports equipments. Like if a couple move in together and they both have exercise equipment, they get rid of some. Or if a kid outgrew his $80 ski helmet that he only used one weekend...then somebody will buy it for $10.

Do some research online. Find the bike that you need. Then read reviews from users about it. That goes for everything. I just bought a yogurt maker after reading great reviews about it (because I had no idea which one to buy) and it makes great yogurts.

You could also get lucky and find a used Airgometer online or in a thrift store in your neck of the wood.
