Large Motorbike Helmet

Post by DSB »

Does anyone know where I can get a large size motorbike helmet? I have rather a big head - physically!

Try these guys: http://www.huahinmedia.com/clubmoto.php

I think their shop has moved though so you may want to check that.

club moto is now at X-SPEED right next door. but this place is all motorcycle helmets, not scooters.

there are two scooter helmet shops on railway road? going north past the train station.
go slow and look on both sides of the street. both stores had large selection.

here is street view of one:

Scooter lids are usually cheap ice-cream tubs that would barely protect a melon and motorbike lids are full face solid units.

I know what I'd rather wear.
